Cool Projects

Drawing with the Robot Arm Project

Substack and Jake went ahead and hacked the robot (see the blog post ). now you can upload simple drawings and get it to draw for you.

• Get an image file (PNG) and convert it to SVG free convert to SVG web app
• Take the SVG and convert it to INFORM http://substack.neocities.org/svg2inform.html (thanks Substack!)
• Go to SudoRoom, chat with the right hackers, learn to calibrate (safety first!!!) and then let the robot do the drawing for you!

• Cheers! Cheers! More thanks to Jake for learning how to fake the serial disk https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/src/fakedisk.py
