This week I started to look into all of the different camera systems, and how the different components (image sensor, lens mount, and lens) work together. Based off of some light research, for most error detection systems using some sort of camera, it’s necessary for it to be at least 60 fps. We also care about the power usage and the overall size of whatever chip we get. These requirements were my main focus when looking at different camera/chip systems.
I also began to look up different ways to implement out g-code to 2D image function, and found g-code translator code on GitHub that uses Python to read g-code and produce a 3D graphical representation of the 3D print. I plan to continue looking at this repo more this upcoming week to learn more about what they did, and how they best implemented the different components of the translation.
