This project uses an RaspberryPi 3, a PCA9685, some servo motors and a pen to draw a picture like a human would do.
Bokeh is used to provide a web app which allows to upload and modify images in the webbrowser as well as simultaneously watch the drawing process in a simulator. Image upload from the controlling device is possible.
- check and modify config.ini
- start with
bokeh serve drawing-roboton level above the "drawing-robot" directory - if you're using an external device to control it make sure that the IP is whitelisted:
bokeh serve --allow-websocket-origin localhost:5006 --allow-websocket-origin IP_OF_EXTERNAL_DEVICE:5006
- open the bokeh app in your browser:
http://localhost:5006/drawing-robot - upload an image by clicking on the
choose filebutton - check the image modification process by scrolling down
- you might want to change output size, threshold or edge detection algorithm and recalculate the result by clicking on
apply changes - if you're satisfied you might want to open the
simulatorTab and start the drawing process by clicking onto thestartbutton - you can pause the drawing process by clicking on the
Stopbutton - the robot will finish it's current line and halt then - you might also go back to the
Image processingtab and change the image, the drawing process and simulator will then be reset.
