A LEGO EV3 with two motors winding strings that drag a dry erase marker around a whiteboard.
- EV3 is running LeJOS.
- Client program is in Kotlin (jar deployed to EV3 via Maven)
- Client downloads a script JSON from a fixed web address
- As the script is downloading, the user "calibrates" the drawing by marking the upper-left and upper-right using EV3 buttons
- Script executes, moving to the specified normalized X-Y coordinates in order.
To generate new scripts from images, see "scriptgen" module which is run on a PC.
Paste the output into the config.json file and upload to web server.
-
Clone and load this project in IntelliJ to get Kotlin/Maven support
-
Setup a web host for your config.json file (I like firebase)
gcloud components update && gcloud components install beta npm install -g firebase-tools
# jar to bot, only when you make a change to client code
mvn deploy
# Edit the contents of public/config.json (or whatever you put your script in)
firebase deploy # script to cloud, every time you want a new script
