Hello,
I am looking for an optical sensor to measure short distances that can rotate or otherwise move to perform a vertical scan over one line.
I wish to make a 3D scanner by rotating an object on a platform. A sensor should perform a vertical scan each time the object is rotated. One option is to move this sensor vertically by fixing it to a column. The other option, which is what I am more interested in, is to find a sensor that already rotates on its own to perform a swipe or vertical scan.
Preferably, I am looking for a sensor that outputs digital signals, and whose output is the distance measured. I wish to use a Raspberry Pi to control the sensor, so if it is digital it will make my work much easier.
If you know about any device that does this, I will appreciate your assistance.
Thank you very much.
