Programmable fucking-machine

It has been a while (had to keep my flat vanilla-safe for some time), but i'm back at building new toys!
Fresh from my workbench is this internet-controllable, programmable fucking-machine
It's not much hardware, a Nema23 stepper, DM556 controller and a NodeMCU board
I use a quick-air-connector to attach toys, it's the same that's used on some commercial machines
The stroke-pattern can be edited from a browser. The software calculates a smooth curve through the points.
I have a video on my
blog that demonstrates the editor.

Thank you for being back at BoundAnna. Nice design with that graphics control, it can serve other uses as well. Already a very extensive blog.

Thank you! I'll try to be more active again...
The graphics-control is actually a customized version of this open-source component:

Thanks!
Is it difficult to use as a control program?

Your past contributions to DIY, Software and Development, as well as the lighter side of Everything Else have been great.

Modifying it was easy. I just took the demo-app and added some buttons and functions to communicate with my backend-application. And i disabled the functions that i didn't need.
The backend receives just a list of points and calculates the curve. Then it does some post-processing for a smooth transition when the pattern repeats.
The curve is then being translated into a list of positions and speeds that are sent to the machine.

Thank you, Shannon!

Welcome back!
I see you're back with a vengeance. That's quite the rig you have built. Looks... interesting...

Now
that sounds like fun...
evil fun!
