#FreeLSS

FreeLSS is 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.

###COMPILE

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

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

$ sudo rpi-update
$ sudo apt-get update

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

Download and install wiringPi

$ git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
$ cd wiringPi
$ ./build

Download and install Raspicam

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/raspicam/raspicam-0.1.3.zip
$ unzip raspicam-0.1.3.zip
$ cd raspicam-0.1.3
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Download and build FreeLSS

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

###Running FreeLSS FreeLSS must be ran as root (or another user with access to the hardware pins). The interface for FreeLSS is web based and by default runs on port 80. When running, access it by navigating to http://localhost/ from the Raspberry Pi itself. Or access it from another machine on the network by the Raspberry Pi's IP or hostname. For Example: http://raspberrypi/

The following command starts FreeLSS.

$ sudo ./freelss
