Because a working, rigidly mounted camera can function as an edge
detector, yes, it becomes a valueable part of the calibration setup for
the machine. But when actually operating, the camera has no direct
control over it. In fact, I've made provisions to remove it so it
doesn't get in the way once the measurements are made and recorded.
The machine would only notice it was crushing the camera when it crowbars
the 5 volts from the usb port. That would generate a big frownie and
some unprintable language directed at the guy in the mirror.
