Recommended Setup
The following pictures show our recommended
constellation for the 3D scan application. Use
the longest 2m cable to connect the turntable
to the PINE Controller. Use the 1.5m cable for
the slider motor and the 0.5m cable for the tilt
axis. Connect motors to the PINE Controller as
follows:
1 – Turntable
2 – Slider
3 – Tilt
You are free to choose the motor ports, but we
recommend to use the above sequence. Mount
the turntable unit to a tripod. Mount the sli-
der rail vertically to a tripod (using additional
clamps – not included) or mount the slider to
a table. Please make sure to not twist the slider
rail in any way with mounting brackets. This can
result in the slider plate getting stuck during mo-
vement. If the slider gets still stuck during move-
ment, try to mount the slider with a slight angle.
This also gives better results in terms of distance
and focus.
Mount the PINE Motion Controller directly un-
der the camera to the L-bracket using the small
arca plate which is included with the Nic-O-Tilt.
Mount the plate directly to the bottom of the
controller and slide it to the L-bracket.

Power up the controller
Once the entire system is assembled and all mo-
tor units are connected to the PINE Controller,
power on the controller by connecting the inclu-
ded power supply. Please refer to the included
quick start guide for the controller.
Once the controller has booted up and the status
led is blinking green, open the PINE Motion App
on your phone and connect to the controller.
Once the motor quick setup screen appears, se-
lect motor profiles as follows:
It is very important and crucial that all motor
profiles are set correctly to guarantee proper
operation of the 3D scan mode. You are now rea-
dy to start the 3D Scan mode in the app. On the
right picture you can see the assignment of the
motors in 3D-mode.
