Week 14

Programming

Workflow: Image to Coordinates to Draw

The workflow of this week was set up with three programs to easily track and troubleshoot unexpected results.

01 image to coordinates

02 coordinates to toolpath positions

03 toolpath to draw

Robotics

Basic Setting & Training

Thanks for the help with Alex. We're ready to play with them after the brief training (aka Roy and Siegfried)!

Installing the gripper

The gripper needs an extra 3D-printed connector to work.

End of Factor Interface

As a simple run test, we're controlling the end of factor separate from our code.

First Run: Drawing MIT

The first run was testing the dots with a thinner marker.

Second Run: Drawing Neil

In the second run, we tried using a thicker marker.
Instead of tiny dots, we like this bigger texture more!

Third Run: Drawing Banksy

At around 1 am in the CBA Lab, we decided to test something else since we were having lots of fun!

In this final test, we took one of Banksy's works and image-processed it twice (the colored balloon and the girl). After those two files were generated, we did two separate jobs on the robot.
