So,
After the great week I had in the KeerBot project, I had to spend some time in the weekend to really implement all of the ideas I though during the week.
The main change I made is to transfer my bot from using timing belt to use wires and spools. There might be little decrease in the precision, but it lacks the need for counter weights for keeping the belt tightened which is a big advantage. So I tried using a fishing wire that was good in the term of strength but not good in elasticity (the robot jumped like a spring after each movement), I tried cotton wire (too thick) and finally found a wire from my wife’s sewing kit, (can bee seen in the picture).
I tried the supplied graphics within Dan’s project and learned a bit about canvas sizes and all – and even had a chance to load few graphics of my own.
