At the start of this week I worked with Andrew to get our gantry fully prepared for the interim demo. I spent time particularly on fine tuning the motors and writing software to convert SVG files to g-code. There’s multiple different packages to do this, and I’m figuring out which one we will do the best job. Later in the week I finalized a list of parts we needed to order and sent in the order requests. Once they arrived, I worked with the team to plan our next steps and the final configuration of the robot. I also continued to work on finding ways to get g-code files and worked a bit on the PDF to SVG software as well.
Next week I hope to help the team finish constructing our system and start testing its operation. I also plan on finishing the manual motor control code for the wheels.
