#FreeLSS

FreeLSS is originally a laser scanning program for the Raspberry Pi. It allows a Raspberry Pi to function as the core to a complete turn table laser scanning system. It is designed to work with Atlas 3D laser scanner.

This version is a modification of the original FreeLSS, adapted to SardauScan hardware. It is designed to run on a classical Linux system (even a Raspberry Pi ! :)), with an Arduino as the hardware interface with the laser scanner.

Sardauscan is great hardware, and the software (which is OpenSource) looks great also. But it is written in C#, which makes it impractical for Linux development. Since freelss is the original software behind Sardauscan, this is an attempt at merging both programs, using a cross-platform environment instead of a Windows only one.

###COMPILE

These instructions assume you are running the latest version of Debian. Other distros will likely require changes.

First, update the firmware to the latest version and reboot.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Install the dependencies that are managed by the package manager.

$ sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev cmake vlc git-core gcc build-essential unzip sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libiw-dev libssl-dev libopencv-dev libboost-system1.61-dev

Download and build FreeLSS

$ git clone https://github.com/phhorrein/freelss
$ cd freelss/src
$ make

###Running FreeLSS The interface for FreeLSS is web based and by default runs on port 2980. When running, access it by navigating to http://localhost:2980/ from the computer. Or access it from another machine on the network by the computer's IP or hostname. For Example: http://raspberrypi:2980/

The following command starts FreeLSS.

$ ./freelss
