Now the robot was build and all Gestalt nodes were connected to the motors and after installing Pyserial and the 'pygestalt' module I was able to program the gestalt module.

I used the examples/machines/htmaa/singlenode.py in gestalt module repository as the base code and edited it to work with three nodes.

I defined three axes as x,y, and z. Then I created the coordinates which the axes should travel. Here x and y axis have the same coordinates as they should travel together. There are different coordiates for different shapes shown above.

A rectangle and a trapezium was easy to get coordinates.
