My mistake was that I was using the Pi's own browser on 127.0.0.1

Hopefully this helps someone else.  I'm usuing Ubuntu 14.04 with Chromium browser and I had to navigate to chrome://flags and enable ignore-gpu-blacklist (Override software rendering list).

Now the preview works.  (And it's pretty dang cool!)

Thanks.

Wait for about 15-20 seconds, then click refresh.  You should see a thin sliver of the scan.  If you stay on that page, it will not update automatically, you have to click the refresh button for it to update.

Also, depending on the resolution and complexity of the scan, how much had already been scanned, and the speed of your connection, it might take a little while to display an image.  For example, trying to preview a scan that is 5MP @ 1600 steps which is 80% done, it will need to process a 20MB + image, and on wired LAN, it takes about 30-40seconds to display, on WiFi, it might take 3 times longer or more.

The camera works.  I calibrated the lasers, toggled lasers on/off, displayed images, the test image works fine, etc.   I get reasonable scans.  Not yet good, but better than expected without much tinkering.

I'm running almost all default settings.  I swapped laser pins, but that's it.  I did perform the software update before scanning anything and now it says it's up to date.  Are we missing some configuration or something to allow preview?  [Full kit; June]

Thanks,

have a strange problem. I finally assembled my Atlas 3D and all went well, and then proceeded to calibrate the lasers. This all worked first time, and calibration succeeded. That is, until I started my first test scan.
The scan started and then I pressed the preview button, and .... no picture was displayed. OK, I thought, maybe it only displayed when scan completed. No such luck.
Completely out of ideas as to why.
Camera is fine under calibration, but doesn't produce any pictures, just a black blank .jpg.
Code seems to be produced (.stl), but haven't loaded it up as yet.
Anyone out there got any good ideas as to why.
