Source code for a Raspberry Pi-based drawing robot. This robot will draw lines from a black-and-white image generated with Evolvotron and ImageMagick, based on the coordinates of all white pixels.
- Evolvotron
- ImageMagick
- potrace
- make
- perl
- RPi::WiringPi
- Image::SVG::Path
Before doing anything make sure you have the correct packages installed on your machine (also, make sure that you are using a raspberry pi (we are using raspbian, but other debian-based OSs should work. If you are using something else, apt won't work for you.)):
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install evolvotron imagemagick potrace build-essential
cpan RPi::WiringPi
cpan Image::SVG::Path
Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:smeagolthellama/drawing-robot
cd drawing-robot
To generate a new image and a file with coordinates, as well as drawing the pictures (not implemented yet), run:
make
To just get the pretty pictures, come up with a name, and run
make image.edges.svg
where image is the name you came up with.
To draw a picture again,
make image.draw
