i`m working in a project to design to link arm that writes letters or
draws some simple figure(sqaure,traingle).i obtained the inverse
kinematic and simulated the mechanasim in mathlab.I could draw cicrle
my question is how i can modify my program to draw a suqaure or
trianlge or even letters?
this is the mathlab code:
clear all
close all
clc
clear
t=0:0.1:2*pi;
r=1; //raduis of the cicle
n=length(t);
l1=1;
l2=1;
for i=1:n;
x(i)=r*cos(t(i));
y(i)=r*sin(t(i));
c2=(x(i)^2+y(i)^2-l1^2-l2^2)/(2*l1*l2);
s2=sqrt(1-c2^2);
th2(i)=atan2(s2,c2)
k1=l1+l2*c2;
k2=l2*s2;
th1(i)=atan2(y(i),x(i))-atan2(k1,k2)
x1=l1*cos(th1(i));
y1=l1*sin(th1(i));
x2=x1+l2*cos(th1(i)+th2(i));
y2=y1+l2*sin(th1(i)+th2(i));
line([0,x1,x2],[0,y1,y2]);hold on;pause(0.5);
end;

Re: Two link mainpulator
x(i)=r*cos(t(i));
y(i)=r*sin(t(i));
(that fill the x() and y() arrays with all the points in a circle) with
a table that fills x and y with the points that compose a letter or a
square.
This program is filling x and y with a bunch of points for the arm to
go to.
If you have a PCB design program, the gerber file output could be used
to give you a list of points that make up text and shapes. I imagine
there must be simpler ways to convert text to line segment data (like
maybe PostScript).
Note you will need a "Lift pen" command in there somewhere.
