nitinsane:
Recently I purchased a digital photo convertor that I can feed my photos and negatives to and it digitizes them and stores them on the SD card.I was not happy with the quality and compression of the resultant images though.
I think I have necessary expertise to build something like this on my own using a stepper motors and line scanners (both of which I plan to salvage from an old scanner) with my trusty Arduino Uno.
It would be a fun project, but matching let alone beating the scanning quality of a modern scanner with a DIY solution seems very optimistic to me.
What sort of resolution and quality are you aiming to achieve, and for what sort of scan size?
