hi,
i want to use the scanner mechanism as a x axis. if i conect 2 scanners i have a cheep xy table for experements!!!
i think that scanners have an internal PID controler and the only data that takes from the PC is just the possision and the speed.
i dont care about the image.
this is not like the other projects that soneone wants to take the image in the LabVIEW.
Please, help!

That is an interesting idea. Just googled it a bit, and found this link:

My guess is that you'll need to strip out the parts and start nearly from scratch as they did in this hack.
good luck!
