Want to help out with the Eggbot project?
Great! We'd love to have you on board!
The Egg-Bot is an open source hardware+software project. If you'd like to be a collaborator, we'd love to have you on board. Right now most of our work is done through the Google Code Project, please contact us if you'd like to be added as a committer.
Here are some of the current places in which we're looking for help:
General use:
- Finding and reporting bugs in the Eggbot Inkscape extension. (Report them here, please!)
- Finding and reporting bugs in Inkscape that affect Eggbot operation. Where appropriate, we report these to the Inkscape developers, with the hope that they can get fixed for us.
- Providing feedback and corrections on our documentation.
- Creating good example plots that will help people to get started with Eggbot.
Software:
- Improving the "optimize paths" extension. Can we make this efficient?
- Writing additional "generator" extensions (like the maze extension) that can produce interesting eggbot plots
- Porting the eggbot extension python code to work in a "standalone" mode outside of Inkscape
- Controlling Eggbot from other software environments, e.g., Processing
Hardware:
- Improving documentation on fine-tuning performance
- Helping us come up with ways to reduce cost in future versions
- Creative hacks to improve the capability of Eggbots
Above and beyond:
- If you can fix any of those Inkscape bugs that are getting in our way, we'd certainly appreciate it. :)
- Inkscape's "Cancel" button doesn't work while plotting
- Live path effect "Hatches (rough)" doesn't work on complex geometries.
