Went to a great event this past weekend and spent it using a Faro Focus 3D to work on a project to scan a cave. My good friend set up the event and it is the culmination of many previous trips. We scanned several thousand feet of cave over the weekend.

Also, this means I got some training on using the device. It was a bit disheartening to see how much better the Faro is. Today I need to remind myself that the goal of my project is good enough to be useful and under $1k. For my price goal I was never going to be able to compete with a $50k machine.

On the bright side, my sensor is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Hoping to have time tonight to head over to the local hackerspace for some wire cutting and soldering. Proto-boarding tedium here I come.
