I would have probably just gone with a rectangle moving diagonally once, while transforming from mostly wide to mostly tall. LOL I’m sincerely impressed and the nostalgia is killin me! Great work. Really really cool. P.S. at the end, the Chicago Bean jumped off the screen at me instantly. As fast as the human brain operates. First frame. So in this case I’m congratulating your fine tuning of the software to pick out relevant boundaries from the mess that is any picture of that area. lol

Nice video. I made my own etch-a-sketch drawing robot with stepper motors. I used klipper for the operating system with a PI for speed. When trying to speed it up I broke one though. I bought a second one and am a bit reluctant to break it again :). I had the idea to cut out a portion of the etch a sketch and put a mini fan inside of it to reset it so you don't have to flip it over every time. It's a mess though once you open it up. Didn't complete that test yet but maybe something you want to explore as well! good luck!

As someone who left software engineering as a profession, that constant feeling of not believing you did well... It's because you learned so much that if you did it over again it would be better. The beauty of doing this as a hobby is your mistakes are so low stakes. You're not going to bring down a $3 billion company's ecommerce site with the wrong SQL query if it's just an etch a sketch in your apartment. You learn from your mistakes and you need to enjoy this process. It is necessary to accept your failures, and apply things you learned in your next project. Don't let the stretch goals distract from what you've accomplished! Every project has "nice to haves" that we back-burnered. ❤ Even at $3 billion companies.

To me the most interesting part of this video was the talk about lost motion and cursors. I am the software engineer and I've worked on physics simulators, graphicsl algs and other similar systems. What I'm a bit curious about is if the lost motion on the etch-a-sketch changes over time due to wear and tear? I feel like there should be a useful algorithm that you could use to figure out the lost motion without having to do it manually. If you added a camera to the system, you could have it draw a test box without accounting for the slippage and then the algorithm could dynamically insert this value. Obviously this would only be useful if the slippage becomes much more varied overtime. As an aside, maybe because you're just using one line but all of this kind of reminds me of the logo programming language. It's been years but back when I first got into programming, I used logo to understand vector graphics and various other concepts. Keep up the good work, subscribed. Do you guys accept PRs and contributions on your code?
@EveryFlavorRobot3 күн бұрын
So many great notes here! 1) thanks for watching :) 2) the lost motion totally changes as we use the screen more. Around 500 drawings in the results are much sloppier - you can see in the DVD logo bouncing how bad this can effect the results as we had to switch it out half way through to a fresh one. The lost motion is not the same in all places on the screen with one side of each axis being tight and the other being loose. 3) camera calibration would 100% be the way to go on this one, I definitely agree. Both for re-zeroing and for calibrating backlash effect. 4) we would love some PR's and contributions :)))) we are not trying to make KZbin videos and projects for fame and fortune - we are trying to build an open source robotics community that is welcoming to all backgrounds and leads by example. This etchbot project is one step towards a powerful example project for people to modify into any two axis gantry type robot they want to make!
