NOTE (very important) : there isn't a4988 driver in proteus 8 so i replaced it with l298 in simulation .

where do I run the Arduino Uno file on my PC and basically what are the output files? What name of the Arduino file?

Please explain the use of Arduino.exe. Which version of Processing are you using? Version 2 gives nothing but errors. You must check the com port and change code manually before running it. That's a very complicate circuit board you show, what is it? Where is schematic? This type of project is very much in demand, please detail it!

i'm using processing 3.5.3 version . it looks complicated but the circuit board is very easy , you just have to use a4988 driver to control your motors and 3 wires for sharp sensor connected to gnd 3.3v and an analogic pin on arduino and use whatever you like to supply your two motors and that's it

How does this work and what are the output files? I.e. do I just place an item on the top, and it scans a full 360° 3D model and outputs to a cad file? Could I use this to scan a broken part for something (say a damaged plastic cover) and then push the file through my 3D printer to make a replacement?

yes it calculates distance between object and sensor each time it makes a small rotation after finishing it will draw a 3d model in processing graphic interface and then make .obj or .tif file and saves it in project directory .

first of all thanks for your attention . project is under construction and not finished yet . i will post more details in the next fiew days including arduino and processing sketches
