This is my make-through for the week's assignment. Grab a cup of coffee!
Let's start the my Last journey.
Journey taken place in my home and Fab Lab.
main goal journey: Polargraph Drawing Machine
Story Characters: component, Arduino software, Eagle, CNC milling machine, 3d printers, laser cutting, and welding machine.
My Features
Minimum Feature: Drawing machine with small size.
Complete Feature: Make it easy to disassemble, install and carry. choosing suitable size of drawing.
Nice to Have: screen to show the progress and portal of memory card.
My GitLab link show my target in each sprint you can use the link.
My project is divide into three main parts Design and fabrication phase (sprint-1) [using 3d printer, and laser cutting machine]
Two Test and Two coding phase:
first test: Using Arduino and bread board and stepper driver A4988. Coding Arduino.
Design My PCP, and fabrication welding (sprint-2)
Second Test: Using my PCP. Coding At mega with FTDI (sprint-2).
Using polargraph software: Many Testing using Arduino and My PCP.
Install Processing
Preparing Polograph software for drawing
first, click setup - serial port - choose COM10 (click on the box not on the word) after your chose click on left sentence which contains words (click start).
some input needed for width of machine (distance from boulley to another one)
Choose your paper size (see the my dimension in the following photo)
You can save the your inputs and load config (see the photo red circles). This software is so hard and need many practice so that I provide links for practicing because there are many input you can change which I still tries in each drawing to get high accuracy (resolution).
watch my screening recording Explain the software:
Convert the photo to svg format (press on following link).
Problem: welding and Short circuits and processing 2.1 not work
Potential Solution: re welding again and download processing 1.5.1 it work well
Many Photos show the great effort. choose your best photo and lets do it
What I learned this week is...
It is so hard but output is show the Great drawings.
Prepare your image as svg and lets do the great.
