Good news! I received the NBC31111. The facet times look to be good and the motor is quiet again.
In other words; the laser module is working once more.
I have quite a busy weekend ahead, but will try to make a new exposure on Monday.

The facet times are;

Note that i ignore the first 100 lines as the prism doesn't seem to be stable enough.

Test passed, can bin all times

-------------------------------------------------

Earlier, I reported that the facet times recorded by the diode can be used to determine the facet number.  In the above, you can see that one facet has facet times smaller than 12400.

If the jitter allow per period is set very small, no difference can be perceived in facet times. For the proof of concept module, I used a jitter allow of 1/3200. All the facet times are then very similar and jitter is quite minimal.
With a jitter allow of 1/100, I can determine the facet and use an interpolation table to reduce the jitter.
I am not sure which strategy works best, but I do claim I possibly use one of these methods.
I also claim I use information by an acceleration sensor to determine whether my prism is rotating smoothly or an earthquake is interrupting operation. I also claim I use this information to correct the data sent to the prism scanner by calculating a more accurate position.
