Der Kritzler
==============
Der Kritzler is a software and hardware platform for developing wall plotters.
It consists of a set of Processing sketches (see src/ folder), Arduino firmware
(firmware/ folder) and some electronics (some files in the design/ folder).
More can be found here:
http://tinkerlog.com/2011/09/02/der-kritzler/
If you want me to pull your changes, please consider:
* Use spaces, no tabs.
* Indention: 2 spaces.
src/
Contains Processing/Java sources, ready to use in Eclipse.
Take a look at http://processing.org/learning/eclipse/
to see how to set things up.
firmware/
Contains Arduino firmware for the Kritzler.
jpg_to_svg_bw.sh
Script to convert a bitmap into an SVG.
Needs imagemagick and potrace.
jpg_to_svg.sh
Starts the processing sketch to make a jittered SVG
out of a bitmap (JPG).
fill_svg.sh
Starts the processing sketch to fill SVG outlines with
with diagonal lines.
plotter.sh
Starts the processing sketch that sends SVGs to the Kritzler.
