Light painting

For a recent conference, I wanted to quickly demonstrate some robot control from CAD to robot although we’ve not yet integrated an end-effector. So we came upon the idea of light painting!

Here’s the quick and dirty LED holder I printed to bolt onto the arm, with a bulky rectangular section that holds a 2xAA battery pack.

And here’s a video of the end result!

The Python script used to generate these images and videos can be found here. It’s based on this article.
