The M3-F module is an integrated mico-mechatronics system that incorporates a piezoelectric SQUIGGLE micro motor, position sensor, driver and microprocessor in a compact 20 x 22 x 16 mm housing.
Developer kits for New Scale Technologies’ miniature M3-F focus modules are now available online. Each kit includes M3-F module for precision closed-loop lens motion, a USB adapter, and New Scale Pathway software for easy evaluation and prototyping.
Configured for I2C or SPI serial interface, the modules in the developer's kits accommodate M12 or smaller lenses and image sensors up to 17 x 17 mm.
