A few weeks ago I bought two NEMA 17 stepper motors with the intention of building a remote controlled camera slider to use when I shoot videos of dancers and musicians for work. I had no idea how to get them to work so I decided to start with a "simple" and fun project to get me going... I got slightly carried away.
I started fiddling around with Python and Arduino, screwed together a couple of pieces of wood and, almost by accident, Scribi was born.
The project is still very new and I've barely scratched the range of possibilities that it has to offer, but I've already made my public appearance during a Christmas event and done a few portraits upon request.
I'm uploading regurarly my work on Instagram and building a website:

This is super cool! Do you have a plan to make a machine like this but for brushes that need tilt and pen pressure???

@amallaamach2363 3 года назад

c'est vraiment géniale quelle logiciel t'a utiliser pour traiter les image svp

@eduardolima5495 3 года назад

Simply amazing!! I would add a camera in front of the board some temperature, light, wind and noise sensors. An algorithm that mix all that information and with the image of the person in front creates a unique artwork based on the current conditions. Your idea is simply amazing!!! I would love to be able one day to do something similar!

@julianmorguet2575 3 года назад

Had some similar Ideas. Think its awesome when you combine some sensors so every art piece is complete unique. At the moment i build something you describe but my project is about music and digital visualisations wich change by sensors. Just take you some time to learn the stuff you need for it and you will be so glad when its done :)

@nguyentai1112 3 года назад

amazing, how much time for software to create a path, and how much time this plotter complete the image?

@stefanopadoanart1898 3 года назад

To create the path it takes only few minutes (assuming that the base .jpg image is good enough). Plotting it takes anything in between 6 adn 12 hours.

@kimbalcalkins6903 Год назад

how are you passing the control data to the Arduino ?

@stefanopadoanart1898 Год назад

That alone took me ages to figure out! Trought the serial port. I'm now checking that part of the code that I have't touched in ages and I can't understand how I got to that point... :/ First step is to convert the coordinates of the drawing into steps to feed to the motors, then, let's say I want to tell the Xstepper to move 123 steps and the Y stepper to move 234 steps, I send the number in this format: x123>y234> then I have a function that process that in the arduino and assign to the right stepper.

@kimbalcalkins6903 Год назад

@@stefanopadoanart1898 I do the same kind of thing with a project. I run a C program on my laptop which outputs a text file with step instructions. I have an SD card drive piggy backed on the Arduino where a sketch reads the step file.

Those images look amazing, I would love to build something similar. Would you be willing to share the code or list the algorithms and techniques you used?

@stefanopadoanart1898 4 года назад

Hi. I started by learning (which in my case translate in Googleing) about TSP art then it was just a matter of finding a way to make that more interesting. Unfortunately I can't be sharing the code just yet as it is pretty rubbish if I have to be honest, plus I'm not a informatic engenier and my skills is "try again maybe this time it works" kind of approach. I want to make some tutorials though. I'm very keen on showing on how to get Python to talk to Arduino for example as just that alone took me DAYS to figure out.

@iruleme101 4 года назад

@@stefanopadoanart1898 Thanks for the info, I looked into TSP art but none of it looked as good as yours. I assume you draw a spiral between points instead of just a straight line? I found this guide for generating TSP art (www2.oberlin.edu/math/faculty/bosch/making-tspart-page.html), but I couldn't understand the paper on weighted Voronoi Stippling. Did you use this method or something different?

@stefanopadoanart1898 4 года назад

@@iruleme101 You're correct. It took me a while to figure out how to draw the spiral across the TSP points but I'm an amateur with very little knowledge. Adrian Secord has a repository on gitHub where you can download his Weighted Voronoi Stipple script (which is awesome). To TSP across those points there are a variety of different methods. The best one is using TSP concorde (or a python wrapper of the same script). Some interesting results also come from using the Nearest Neighbor solution.

@iruleme101 4 года назад

@@stefanopadoanart1898 Is this the correct repository? github.com/ReScience-Archives/Rougier-2017 . I can't seem to find the one on Adrian Secord's github. Sorry for all the questions, my googling abilities seem to be failing me on this one.

@stefanopadoanart1898 4 года назад

Stuart Rolph yes that one! It’s awesome! I’m now starting to use also dithering. It’s a bit more messy and can yield interesting results!
