Makelangelo-dev update #25

I’m in San Mateo for the Bay Area Maker Faire. I worked hard and planned well and that’s left me a bit ahead of schedule. I took a few hours today and made some extra updates to the Makelangelo. I can’t fully test it from here so for now you’ll have to get the github project and compile it yourself. Bonus: look under the hood and find out how the software does what it does!

Details:

• Changed “File” to “GCODE” > “Open/Convert File”
• Added “GCODE” > “Text to GCODE”
• Spiral and crosshatch drawings are now signed by the robot.
• Added text for the supported ASCII table
• Added text for the 4 laws of robotics
• Changed BufferedWriter to OutputStreamWriter in all Filters to simplify my life
• Move common Filter methods into the base class
• Added Filter_YourMessageHere
• Removed built-in kerning from all characters
