We laser cut 6mm wood material in a size of 450mm x 600mm, drew by Jason Wang with Adobe Illustrator.week16_6mmlinearslide.ai

I help composing the pieces into a mechanical arm. Then I started to make a Fabnet drew by Bas. This was used to connect Gestalt Node. I soldered an additional power plug for common power supplier. In the picture there was red jumper to fix a broken wire. I tested my Fabnet with Gestalt Node with test code by Nadya but it did not work. Our team spent much time debugging it and eventually we concluded three of the four boards were not working. Here is I controled the arm successfully with my Fabnet:

To finish the project, we purchased Arduino and CNC shield as alternative.

Our goal was to make a Kaleidoscope laser projector which changed the arrangement of colours automatically We composed the arms as XY-axis machine with two arms on X-axis and one on Y-axis. It was equipped with a platform on the top where we put pearls. On the Y-axis arm, we attached a 10W laser light and a small mirror to reflect the laser up to the pearls. To control the machine, we sent g-code via Universal Gcode Sender. Here is a demo code made by Jason Wang.
