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: https://github.com/chdh/function-curve-editor

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!

there's another mysterious box with an IMU sensor on my desk that can do evil things... more on that soon...

Now you make me curious.

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!

a formidable machine!!!

Here is another example of a formidable machine :
