XY DIY Ghetto scanner- learn the absolute basics of laser scanning.
this site is a good one to subscribe to(newslatter)- however the projects shown, if you are not a paying sub. are what I Call 'teasers' as for the TOTAL step by step you need to sign up for a paying sub(Pro). However if you are an electronics Wiz most can be done with just the free sub.
It would be cool if one of our Vets would make a detailed tut on this-- here are links to Instructables and to eekbay listings for the boards.
Arduino Laser Show with Full XY Control
while you are there look on the right side for related projects.
I THINK if you join up and your project is popular you MAY get payback for the project that you give them to put up(IDK for sure)Great Pics are a definate plus. Do them like DTR does- the 'dummies version' is always better that assuming that some steps can be left out.

bare board for total DIY $5 shipped -just the board -all the stuff that goes on it must be gotten eleswhere.

And..
so depending what you have on-hand and how resourceful you are at getting stuff free or close to free. Here is a cool cheap laser 'toy' you can make and learn at the same time.
Many thrift shop have misc. electronics- I stop by many on a regular basis- being nice to the peeps that work or volunteer at them
helps a lot. I leave a printed list with them as a BOLO. with my contact info- I do the same at PC repair and electronics shops- you never know what they may be giving away- everything from Poliroid one-steps(nice small dc motor and FS mirror inside- may be a better choice for this XY project IMO)) to RPTVs huge lenses and even larger FS mirrors and more.
with digital everything replaceing older tech. stuff like tv projectors- laser disc players- are just taking up space and very unlikely to ever sell. Even the dumpsters at electronics shops can yield good finds- and THIS is another of 'Hak's find of the Day"
