Image size
----------
With a radius of 80 cm the circumference is roughly 5000 mm.
In order to obtain square pixels at the outer radius, we therefore
need 1000 lines per rotation, irrespective of speed. Each line
consists of 64 pixels or 8 bytes of data. Therefore, the full disc
needs roughly 8 kB of data while a quarter disc needs 2 kB.
