This library was written to control a stippling art project.
- Raspberry Pi running Raspbian or some other operating system that provides the RPi.GPIO Python module
- Two stepper motor driver boards, like the Big Easy Driver
- Two bipolar stepper motors, like these with 68 oz-in torque and 400 steps/rev
- 12-volt power supply for the stepper motors
- One small servo motor for the pen head, like this with metal gears and 40 oz-in torque
-
Run the servo daemon available at servod/servod
-
Initialize a stippler manager, add points, and start drawing
stippler = StippleManager(x=12000, y=12000, width=38000) stippler.points_to_draw = [(16000, 20000), (8000, 10000), (12000, 12000)] stippler.start_drawing()
Good luck!
