ESP32 Copper Tape Cutter
Every year I teach my students how to build paper circuits using templates from Chibitronics. For the first few projects they follow a template I give them so I know exactly how much copper tape each student needs. I made this machine to measure and cut the tape for me.
The parts, instructions, and more are available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3557719
This program uses these libraries:
- ArduinoMenu
- streamFlow
- TFT_eSPI - You will have to setup your TFT settings in the User_Setup.h file and I included my working setup for you
- ClickEncoder - This is a fork of the library ArduinoMenu uses by default and both need the "#include <avr/..." lines commented out in ClickEncoder.h if you are using an ESP32
- AccelStepper
- ESP32Servo
- EEPROM32 Rotate
Due to how EEPROM32_Rotate creates custom partitions, I switched over from Arduino IDE to VS Code with PlatformIO. Although the learning curve was steeper, in a few hours I felt comfortable and started to appreciate the Here is an overview of how to get started by Paul O'Brian and the PlatformIO Install Guide and Quick Start.
