Hello everyone!
I am very inexperienced in this field and I am attempting to develop a project. The basic premise is that I want to deposit material from a cnc machine fitted with an extruder on its end effector onto a free standing object. As the object is free standing, it may occasionally inadvertently move causing the predetermined toolpath (original g-code) to deposit material in the incorrect position. As a remedy, I am working to add cameras which can track the object being operated on and any movement will be tracked and it will automatically adjust the toolpath so that it does correctly print regardless of toolpath. I currently use mach4 to operate the machine and as such, I am struggling to determine how I can in real time, adjust the inputted g-code. I came across linuxcnc and QtPyVCP which from my own understanding, enables custom applications. Can anyone give me a sense of direction as to whether something like this can be implemented on this application? Thanks!
