May 5 2018: Hardware designs mostly complete but I always find tiny things to update & always getting new ideas for modules to attach. The devil is in the details.
Primary work remaining = writing & testing code for the intended applications of this module. That is, two different drawing robots that actually use the same code to draw on two different mediums. I need to decide where to focus my time developing: Dot matrix drawing, gcode drawing, or bluetooth manual control. Eventually I want to do them all :)
Still working on support documentation which is key for a project to be fully replicable. In any case, most of my work as of late has been created with an educational focus (see 'SimpleSumo Robots'), so excellent documentation is a major boon for teachers looking to integrate my work into their curriculum. I love the thought that the things I create will be used to inspire & teach the next generation of scientists!
Names & exact details of future robots are fun & will be revealed in the near future when a video of a fully functioning application is available. :)
Eventually I'd like to package the two applications into kits and sell them on my site but managing the business side of things is a project all of its own. There are only so many hours in the day, plus my strength is mechanical engineering so everything thats not that takes extra time.
