16.mechanical design, machine design
We made a pen plotter.
Test
we started test with gestalt nodes. yumi made FTDI-borad, and we tested test following the turtrial.
Motor stopped when I used, but after deleted [test.vmp] from folder, it worked.
Making Stage
making data
In japan, we do not use 'inch' generally, only uses 'mm' . so, I redesigned borad for 4mm tickness.
cutting
To cut big parts with one piece,I cut it in a laser cutter of Makerspace.The value is as follows.
machine:UNIVERSAL ILS9.75
cut>power:100% speed:60%
fold>power:100% speed:45%
assemble
I assembled it according to a tutorial. Aactually, the board which I bought was 5mm, I adjusted it a little.
Because cardboard was soft, we putted washer.
Software
We gave some tests to make software. We gave numerical value and confirmed that a X and Y became like this.
I made a program that plotter follow and works when mouse was dragged. This was my first Python, and I like it!
Pen support part
yumi made it.
