Contributors
Project Status
Jim is organizing people to help with the project.
Project Needs
- This project will need eggs! Lots of eggs! ...eventually.
Project Updates
We will be holding a brainstorming session before the meeting next Tuesday (August 25, 2009). If you want to participate, show up no later than 7:00 pm.
Software
Egg.in File Format
This is the format of the dimensions of the egg. This is just one curve from top to bottom of the egg mapped out as an x,y vertex curve. These dimensions are used to adjust a Sphere to match the curve of the egg.
Example file:
EGGVERTS: 33 -0.022594,1.910656 0.019375,-0.883746 0.092668,1.886945 0.206883,1.829319 0.317762,1.742460 0.422886,1.631364 0.520052,1.501084 0.608152,1.356635 0.687810,1.203412 0.761082,1.045657 0.830904,0.886975 ... 0.306997,-0.856661 0.213143,-0.872462 0.116990,-0.881343 EGGDONE
Comments are supported if the begin with a '#' character.
Blender Eggbot v0.1 PoC
This is just a proof of concept but it can read in teh Egg.in file and will hopefully be able to map the image as a UV texture then instruct the arduino to print it...
