2008-03-26 Thread Guillaume Gastebois
Hello,

Yesterday I added CCD_CANONLIDE90 in genesys.c. I did two successive scans
(result on http://ggastebois.free.fr/lide90_snoop/25_test1.zip).
The first one gives a bright image (1_test1.txt), the second a dark image
(3_test1.txt). Which log seeems to be the best for calibration ? (in
3_test1.txt, I see device I/O errors !!!)
What are good values for offset_calibration: black/white pixels ?

Another thing : Pierre, you send me few weeks ago a code named entropy2D.c. I
compile it with : gcc -c entropy2D.c, gcc -lm -o entropy2D entropy2D.o. No
errors. I call it with entropy2D ./offset1_1.pnm and it makes nothing and newer
gives hand back !!! What did I wrong ??? (I want to test common nibbles).

For scanner locks up writing 0x41=0xf4, It signify that scanner things he's not
hat home position. (home position : 0x41=0xfc). I thing it will be interessting
to move a little bit head. How to do that ? My explanation is that on previous
scan, the head has pressed home switch, but if head after that moves (less than
a millimeter is enought) switch can no more be pressed. So moving back head may
be usefull (but Isn't still made ?)

I did another ant work : comparing all regs from windows snoop to sane and I
find these differences :

Xscanimage works only as root. Scanner doesn't actually scan. The

nop
I will give you more details, so if you can help i will really apreciated
When i stop the power cycle of the scanner, everything goes fine for
about 15 min
then also if i don?t stop to scan pages still works
So the problem begin when stop scaning. The usb address change with no reason
(i don?t disconnect the cable) and don't have any suspend mode on usb devices.
if i call scanimage or my application why the address does not update
if both call
sane_init() at start?

So if a repeatedly call sane_open() this way the scanner belive is
been used for some
application? do you thing this could work?

well thanks in advance.

odd. the behavior you describe sounds like usb suspend problem, or
like some piece of code is calling  usb_reset. i know fedora had a
patch in sane which did this recently.

  if i call scanimage or my application why the address does not update
  if both call sane_init() at start?

when exactly does the renumeration happen- when you first use
scanimage after a long wait, or has it already happened. Does
scanimage -L cause the problem, or only actual scans?


  So if a repeatedly call sane_open() this way the scanner belive is
  been used for some
  application? do you thing this could work?


should not be required. lets leave your frontend out of the mix for
now, and just verify that a plain scanimage session will reproduce the
error.

  pd: also have a fujitsu 4110cu. i thing going to write my first backend lol.


i have a 4110eox2, which uses the mustek ma1509 chipset. what is in the 4110cu?

[sane-devel] [PATCH] make scanimage work with HP ScanJet (HP 6250C), finally

2008-03-26 Thread Peter Kirchgessner
I have no problem if the usleep(1000) is added. If it helps, it's ok. 
For a typical scan about 200 inquiries are done. So setting up the 
scanner is slowed down by 0.2 seconds in total. That is far less than 
the scan will need.
I don't know if it is possible with libusb to check if an answer of the 
scanner is available or not. But if you tried increasing the value and 
it still did not work every second run I would say there are still some 
other problems with USB. My ScanJet 6250 is working without problems for 
years using USB.
Who will apply the patch to the official SANE-backends ?

Kind regards

Peter Kirchgessner

 i can confirm that this does help problems i have seen with the 6200C.
 now the device is very consistent- it shows up and works the first,
 third, fifth, etc times that i use it. but every 'even' call to Xsane
 produces the following:
 
 [hp] hp_AddOpenDevice: added device libusb:002:003 with fd=1

 and xsane gives the 'no devices found' dialog. i have tried increasing
 the sleep, but to no avail.
 
 i have cc'd the backend author for comments. thanks for your efforts Jim!

 This bug has been reported before, e.g.,
   http://bugzilla.redhat.com/413471
   http://bugs.debian.org/116962
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/119819

  For years, scanimage/xsane has worked only sporadically with my
  USB-connected HP 6250C.  I'd have to run it 3 or 4 times (sometimes
  changing USB plug, when one would get stuck) in order to get a single 
 scan.
  That was frustrating.  Often, it'd fail like this:

   $ scanimage
   scanimage: hp-option.c:3713: hp_optset_fix_geometry_options: Assertion 
 `tl_x  tl_y  br_x  br_y' failed.
   zsh: abort  scanimage
   [Exit 134 (ABRT)]

  [debug output attached below]

  I get the same behavior with fedora rawhide and debian unstable.

  Debugging showed that the primary problem lies in detecting supported
  options.  During one run, it would fail to detect an option that I
  knew to be valid and essential, like the one corresponding to tl_x
  above), and during the next run, it *would* detect that same option.

  The problematic code is in hp-scl.c's _hp_scl_inq function.
  The issue-command call there is followed immediately by the read
  result call:

   RETURN_IF_FAIL( hp_scsi_scl(scsi, inq_cmnd, SCL_INQ_ID(scl)) );
   status =  hp_scsi_read(scsi, buf, bufsize, 1);

  It looks like sometimes the device responds quickly enough,
  and the attribute is detected.  Other times, is too slow and
  sane reports that the attribute is not supported.

  I found that inserting a 1ms delay between those two lines made everything
  just-work.  FYI, a .5ms delay appeared to work just as well (I ran
  only 2 or 3 trials, and all succeeded), but my single trial with a .1ms
  delay provoked the usual failed assertion.

  There is probably a much cleaner way to wait until the data is ready,
  but I'll let someone else investigate that.  Here's my patch:

[sane-devel] SANE Evolution

2008-03-26 Thread Alessandro Zummo


 Hello SANE devs,

  after months of trying to build some consensus around
 a common direction for the SANE future development, I decided
 to fork SANE.

  The new project is called SANE Evolution and aims to introduce
 new features in small steps while keeping compatibilty.

  The backends code base will be kept in sync with SANE whenever
 possible.

  Interested developers and users will find documentation,
 code, svn, mailing lists and a wiki at

http://code.google.com/p/sane-evolution/

 Your voice will be heard.
