CAM / G-Code Overview and links

G-code is the most common language used by fabrication machines including 3D printers, CNC routers, and laser cutters. One way to familiarize your self with G-Code is through the open source software packages used for RepRap: Repetier Host and Printrun (pronterface). I’m currently using Repetier Host, which seems to have more extensive documentation at this […]

Follow-up Notes on R Tutorial

From our R expert (R-xpert?) Kevin Miklasz. Thanks Kevin! Here is a link to an expanded sample file that shows some common functions I use, and is mostly focused on some graphing parameters I use a lot (at the bottom of the script). None of the graphing functions will work as they use data sets that […]

Tutorial: Twitter Visualization via Arduino

For this week’s class, you can experiment visualizing a Twitter livestream by connecting Peiqi Su’s penis modules and other output device, to an Arduino. I’ve included sample code below and will expand this tutorial for those who are interested. The tutorial will assume basic understanding of Arduino and Processing, particularly installing libraries and differentiating between digital and […]

Tutorial: Visualizing MindRider data in 3D using QGIS and QGIS2threejs

Here’s a link to the live visualization. And good news: this tutorial involves no coding! Background More soon. For now, you can learn about MindRider helmet and data at their respective web sites. Getting Started Download QGIS and install (from QGIS) the QGIS2threejs plugin. Obtain this tutorial’s data, which includes these vector shapefiles: a MindRider sample dataset (800 […]
