Raspberry PI camera with led ring
To keep the setup simple and to avoid that you need to disassemble a webcam, we recommend to use the Raspberry Pi camera module. The module can be directly connected to the Raspberry Pi by plugging in a FFC cable.For better scan results a led ring was added to the setup. The led ring is uses to get the best lighting conditions in the scanner case.
