============== Der Kritzler

Der Kritzler is a software and hardware platform for developing wall plotters. It consists of a set of Processing sketches (see src/ folder), Arduino firmware (firmware/ folder) and some electronics (some files in the design/ folder).

src/ Contains Processing/Java sources, ready to use in Eclipse. Take a look at http://processing.org/learning/eclipse/ to see how to set things up.

firmware/ Contains Arduino firmware for the Kritzler.

jpg_to_svg_bw.sh Script to convert a bitmap into an SVG. Needs imagemagick and potrace.

jpg_to_svg.sh Starts the processing sketch to make a jittered SVG out of a bitmap (JPG).

fill_svg.sh Starts the processing sketch to fill SVG outlines with with diagonal lines.

plotter.sh Starts the processing sketch that sends SVGs to the Kritzler.
