# CNSelfie
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This was my first project created at my univeristy's robotics society. Created as an interactive robot for kids coming to university open days,
|
||
|
|
it would display a camera view and detect outlines then when a photo was taken with it it would generate gcode from these lines to direct
|
||
|
|
the society's CNC machine to draw out what it saw. The idea being that kids could have drawings of themselves made by a robot they could take home.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was finished over the course of two weeks in collaboration with a friend at the society.

## Overview
|
||
|
|
The program worked using [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/). OpenCV would detect sharp edges and produce an black and white image, this would then by converted into a vector
|
||
|
|
which was then converted into gcode as paths for the CNC machine. I found a [library](https://github.com/PadLex/SvgToGcode) for converting between vectors and gcode but found it didnt have all the functionality I needed
|
||
|
|
so ended up adding alot of extra methods and rewriting a few of them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This GCode was then sent by [Universal Gcode Sender](https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender) to our CNC machine.
