A web app for designing and making things. Uses TypeScript, Node, Gulp, Stylus.
A quick look at what the prototype design and workshop apps are currently able to do.
A recap on makeit's architecture and layout. Also looks at how to simplify the modular layout for home use.
Figuring out how to store data for the makeit project using Git.
Get started with a bit of testing. Goes over setting up and using Mocha + Chai for some in-browser tests.
Going through the functionality of the refactored design app.
Adding a scripting panel to the design app.
Generating arcs, lines and an offset algorithm for creating and milling profiles.
Generating the geometry and G-Code for milling holes using helical ramping.
Very rough start on the Design App prototype with a simple G-Code renderer.
A very rough start on the Workshop App that looks at handling communication and general layout.
Some more in detail thoughts on the architecture. How to run shared code safely and control the CNC machine.
The ideas behind MAKEIT. The App/s for designing and making things.
