I think these things have a ways to go before they are very useful. The calibration card or box that shipped with the scanner is missing. There's a DIY version that I made that I'll leave with it, that seems to work. Very slow. | |||
== Software == | |||
Available at https://matterandform.net/download/install and you have to register your email but they don't seem to validate it against anything, I just used my PS1 email. Available for Mac or Windows. | |||
== How to use == | |||
