Hacks and Mods: DIY Semi-Automatic Paintbrush

Got a fresh InkShield and readying to make an Open munition project? Past why not try making the Semi-Automatic Paintbrush. Read on to know more about this.
Any work of art can beryllium copied using this and the components that are required to receive this is listed below:
IR camera InkShield Ink tapeIR LED. The software that is speak a desktop all for this purpose is known as paintbrush.py. The software plays the function of mapping the camera focus with the co-ordinate grouping of the canvas. 4 LEDs are put At all niche of the canvas and the mapping is calibrated by hitting a key when required.

The region of the image is captured by tracking the motion of the LEDs. The necessary commands are send to an Arduino with the InkShield by means of a script written all for this purpose. The script tells the arduino which nozzle to fire and also the grayish level which has to be achieved by the firing nozzle. In order to avoid in flood, the painted areas are tracked.

Thats all it is. The paintbrush is complete. This is more of a fun-based task and can be finished in some spare time using the components mentioned earlier. The required script is available on github. The InkShield library used by the Arduino is LGPL.
OK
