Klippel Near Field Scanner on a Shoestring

It's moving again!

It's doing a dry run at the moment. Z-motion is reversed somehow and I can find the setting to make it switch. I'm back to the good old A4988 driver iso servo42d for the radial and vertical motion. The ESP32 didn't want to boot properly with the other servo42d. Seems related to
The noise it makes is also far less. For the least amount of noise I need to connect the esp32's to a separate 5V supply and not the fancy ones that take the 20V and put out 5V.
 
The first measurement was succesfull.

I designed and printed an adapter for a speaker stand. I plan to use that for measurements in the barn to get enough echo free time.

When I am in an environment that has nearby walls I generally try to centre the loudspeaker. To get an roughly equal floor ceiling bounce. IN your barn you will have an interesting ability to have pretty much only a floor bounce. The angle of the roof will be quite an effective randomized reflector.

Really like your speaker stand. A smart idea. Not so expensive either. Another intelligent use of available resources Tom.
