I'm sure with a Lego Mindstorms kit my 15 year-old nephew could build a automated target reader!

I'm pretty sure somebody already re-created an i1iO with such a kit. I don't do enough volume to worry about it, but I've always figured that, if I ever do, I'll either be making enough money off of it to justify the cost of an i1iO or I'll hire a work / study student as an automated chart reader and save the profits from chart reading until I could pay cash for the i1iO. And, if it's not worth spending the money on either a student worker or an i1iO, then I'm not doing enough volume to worry about it. b&

I used a SpectroCam before I got the HP Z3100 with its integrated spectrometer. An old A3+ an old HP drawing plotter adapted to carry the SpectroCam and driven by an HPGL driver (+ vector file for the scan path) it could do the job. It worked but not as nice as the Zs do it. Must have a picture of it somewhere. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm December 2012: 500+ inkjet media paper white spectral plots.
