pyotronext 1.0.5: Convert opentrons protocols to G-code and control lab robots made from 3D printer

I released the software pyotronext version 1.0.5. pyotronext can interpret opentrons protocols and control lab robots (e.g. DIY cartesian pipetting robots made from a 3D-Printer). Opentrons Labworks Inc. develops the open source opentrons API version 2.0 (APIv2) as well as a tool to convert JSON files that have a similar format as Transcriptic's Autoprotocol standard. The opentrons Python APIv2 allows easy and flexible scripting. Using the Python package pyotronext, you can run Python scripts that use the opentrons APIv2 and send G-code to a lab robot that runs my modified Marlin firmware (Marlin2ForPipetBot). pyotronext can also export the generated G-code to file. pyotronext serves as a backend for my Graphical G-code Generator and robot control software GGCGen.

Scalable knitting patterns with open source software: Textile design with Inkscape and GIMP.

I made a video tutorial that explains how to design knitting patterns that can be scaled to arbitrary size using the open source programs Inkscape v0.92 and  GIMP 2.10.10 . It may be especially interesting to the community of the All Yarns are Beautiful (AYAB) project . This page was moved to https://derandere.gitlab.io/scalable-knitting-patterns-inkscape .

AYAB shield - self soldered circuit board for a computer-controlled knitting machine

[Werbung ohne Auftrag / unpaid advertisement]  Proudly presenting my first soldering job: A printed circuit board for hacking a brother KH 910 knitting machine. The self-soldering kit of the so-called AYAB Arduino shield from the All Yarns Are Beautiful project of the Chaos Computer Club Munich enables control from a personal computer via USB. The AYAB shield sits on top of an Arduino Uno-compatible development board featuring an ATmega328PU microcontroller by Microchip Technology Inc. (formerly Atmel). The AYAB software for controlling knitting machines can be downloaded from https://ayab-knitting.com/ . This website was moved to https://derandere.gitlab.io/physical-programming/ .

Demonstration of the lab robot "PipetBot-A8" by DerAndere.

I am proudly presenting a working prototype of my pipetting robot "PipetBot-A8".  Of course it is an ongoing project and there are many things to improve, but the device is doing what I want and its precision is already quite good. Here is a link to the video . After I finally managed to fix most issues with my robot control software GGCGen, it is ready for testing. I uploaded an introductory video that showcases the Graphical G-code Generator . Visit the page "PipetBot-A8" on this blog for details. Brought to you by DerAndere.
