Status: Unfinished. ByteSize is an ambitious collaborative engineering project, not a finished commercial device.
Bringing volume, weight, and motion together.
ByteSize is a 3D volumetric food scanner developed with team Ctrl+Alt+Defeat for Codeavour 7.0. I’m especially proud of this project, even though it remains unfinished.
Project work described
Collaborative design work with Ctrl+Alt+Defeat, including a custom CAD chassis and the component plan below. Original CAD files and build photographs have not been supplied for this case study.
Unfinished
Assembly, integration, end-to-end operation, and measurement accuracy are not demonstrated here. The illustration is an explanation of the idea.
Future work
Document the design iterations, assemble and test the system, and evaluate measurements. These are next steps, not completed results.
Components and design
- Custom CAD chassis
- ESP32 controller
- VL53L0X LiDAR sensor
- HX711 load-cell interface
- Stepper motor
- TFT display
A project still in progress
The project brings mechanical design, electronics, and software into one collaborative build. Completion, measurement accuracy, and end-to-end operation have not been established here.
