Compiler/DLPDLCR2010EVM: Simple C++ to upload images and display

Thanks Given

We are building a 3D structured light scanner for small volume (100mm field of view at a distance of 80 to 100mm)

We need the projector/camera module to tilt (We use a Dynamixel AX18a servo).

So far it all works but we are just using an off the shelf pico projector (fed via HDMI as a second monitor)

We want to move to a proper set up with a TI projector, storing the patterns on board, and displaying the patterns via an indexing command from the PC. This should also trigger our cameras for better sync.

We need an optical module about the same width as the cameras (20 - 25mm), 100lm rgb output, and with a flexible cable which will allow enough travel to rotate (roll) the optical module by 120 degrees while the controller board stays mounted rigid.

I see you have some third party optical module suppliers. In short, what do we need to achieve our goal? I think we need

1) A control board (similar to an EVM without the optics). This is plugged by USB into a controller PC which would run my C++ code to send commands to display different images etc. I was hoping TI had an SDK or API to do this painlessly, with example code!

2) An optical module - hopefully these just plug into the board in 1) via a flexible cable allowing a few cm of travel.

The reasons to separate 1 and 2 are to keep the tilting part small and light, and to get a reasonable lens (compared to a £200 off- the-shelf pico projector from the shops).

We have funding and are ready to go, but obviously need some guidance. I am hoping you can help.
