Devlog #3 - Servo Profiles

Hello everyone,

We just hit a new milestone in the development of this project: Laser Calibration Profiles

How do They Work?

Right now we have a menu where you can choose between 3 calibration profiles each having a different ammount of samples (the more, the better, but slower due to the higher ammount of measurements)

• Basic (5 samples)
  [0, 45, 90, 135, 180]

• Accurate (9 samples)
  [0, 22.5, 45, 67.5, 90,
  112.5, 135, 157.5, 180]

• Servophile (17 samples)
  [0, 11.25, 22.5, 33.75, 45,
  56.25, 67.5, 78.75, 90,
  101.25, 112.5, 123.75, 135,
  146.25, 157.5, 168.75, 180]

• (I plan on adding a Super Servophile profile with 33 samples soon!)

After choosing the profile (and - in the future - one of the 3 slots each list has), the user will go through with recording distances for each angle using a marking on the wall (use a pencil or just tape a paper and draw on it)

That’s it! (At least for the manual input XD)

Then the list with colleced measurements gets put in a script and thrown out as a list of angles.

Now that’s it!

Next Features

• I plan on adding an expected measurement section in the UI so the user has a better idea what the expected output should be during calibration (also helps with debugging ;))

• Turning the List of angles into a complex map that can directly transform digital angles to calibrated ones

• Actually using the calilbration profiles when moving servos

• Adding all environment variables to settings so you can change them during runtime!
