A DIY Raspberry Pi Document Scanner @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
Flat bed scanners have been a thing of the past for quite some time, for most folks. When high quality scans aren’t required, a phone can work just fine. Here’s another approach from Caelestis Workshop at Instructables!
Welcome to my project where i build a Raspberry Pi Document Scanner! Utilizing the Raspberry Pi 4b, the Pi Camera V2, and custom 3D-printed components, this guide will guide you through creating a functional document scanner. This device is equipped to capture high-resolution images and process documents for perspective correction and cropping, making it an ideal tool for a variety of digitizing tasks.
The ability to digitize documents efficiently holds vast importance in today’s digital-first environment, serving purposes ranging from personal archiving to reducing paper clutter and facilitating educational activities. Assembling this scanner yourself not only provides a cost-effective alternative to commercial scanners but also enriches your understanding of hardware integration, software development, and advanced image processing.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
