CNC XY Plotter
The goal for the project is to accomplish two tasks:
1) Identify RED and GREEN objects on a grid and connect them to the grids axes.
2) Draw a circle and square, write text, and draw the SFSU logo.
To accomplish these tasks, our team implemented a neural network to identify the objects and "GRBL" to interpret motor commands. Custom software for MATLAB was created to apply the computer vision for object location and to generate Gcode commands to send to the Arduino Uno for motor control. Our final project was able to correctly identify the objects and give the user the freedom to draw/write any text or image they desired.
