The .draw project showcases robotics, automation, and creative design through a custom-built, automated drawing and erasing whiteboard robot. This project leverages a combination of mostly 3D-printed components, and custom electronics from the SparkFun XRP DIY Kit.
.draw is not just a functional robot; it’s a demonstration of how accessible technology can be used to automate and enhance creative processes. Whether you're an educator, artist, or tech enthusiast, .draw offers a platform for exploring the intersection of art, design, and robotics.
• Automated Drawing and Erasing: .draw has the ability to draw and erase designs on a whiteboard using 2-axis motor control and a marker/eraser system driven by a Servo.
• Drawing .SVG Designs: I've achieved this by using a Python script to convert an SVG path to JSON coordinate data, which is then saved onto the XRP board.
• Able to Calibrate and Home axes: Preliminary calibration of marker/eraser set angles and axes homing are both in the works - some sample MicroPython code will be added in a future project update.
• Ability for Dynamic Lighting: Integrated LED strip provide the numerous opportunities for ideas - change the color on a whim, or code it based on the .draw's status, with whatever you are doing, etc.
MK1 .draw.ZIP includes everything you need: all printed part models, the Assembly Guide, and the .STEP file for the project. I've also included all files individually.
Please read the detailed Assembly_Guide.draw for more information on parts, wiring electronics, and a step-by-step guide on how to build this.
