# Lecture Notes
## Wednesday - Neil time!
Press F in KiCad during tracing to `automaticly` finish the trace
Open loop cnc machine
Closed loop cnc machine
### Materials
Tri fold cardboard - Doesn't machine well
Ridgit foam insulations
MDF - machines smoothly - can be very toxic
MDO - better MDF
OSB "constructieplaat - recycled wood - eco friendly
### Flute
2 than one flute mills
The more flutes to smaller the bites the drill takes so the smoother the result is.
fewer flutes when removing a lot of material.
Flutes can have different coatings. Coatings can significantly extend the lifetime of the `end mill`
Different bits for center cutting and not center cutting
center cutting lets you directly go into the material
Non center cutting is to clean the cuts.
Need to watch which way you're drilling it will have impact on the holes and cuts
### Cutting materials
Down cut leaves loose material around the hole
up cut destroys the bottom if you're going through the entire material at once
doing a combination can give you the benefit of both and leave a clean hole.
Machineries handbook
Chip load - how fast you let the tool spin/cut while moving. Too fast is bad too slow is bad. There is a sweetspot
For heavy metal machinery you need lubricants. For other stuff not really
### locking the material in place
machining vise - good
bar clamps - need a lot and to distribute the holding force
vacuum bed - The vacuum hold the material down - need periodic maintenance because the holes can get clogged
### Sacrificial layer
Set to Z=0
Bolts can get loose on the shopbot.
### Dust
You need a dust collector because the cnc machine will create a lot of dust. If there's dust around the lab something is wrong.
### Modification
flexible designs - Flexure
Steam bending - Big box of steam to soften wood and shape it.
Japanese wood joints

### Tool paths
Kerf - Offset by tool diameter
Runout - The tool may not be attached straight to the machine so it will create sloped cuts
klein machining - cleaner cut but harder on machine - for finishing
Conventional - To start out with is easier on the machine. Is more rough
2d top down
3d
4d Can curve the tool during cutting
5d all degrees of freedom
prototype by 3d printing or laser cut before you do the cnc job
Shopbot - Vcarve
### Safety
Sharp material can fly out
Material can get very hot - Fires
Splinters
Always wear safety glasses
Shoes no crocks or sandals
Hair in a knot
Ear protection
Never reach into a running machine
Never do large format machining alone
You want a second pair of eyes and ears always check each other
Need to be well prepared
Know how to turn the machine off before turning it on

So I have 2 joysticks that are directly connected to the mcu. A screen that works on the I2C protocol and a LED.
First when routing the joysticks I realised that the Xiao has analog on both sides of the board. So if I change the schematic so it connects to the other side I have a lot less longer traces.

Then I needed to draw the outlines. To draw curved lines I used [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0FIG2J6Zls). It's hard to get the get everything symmetrical. Maybe there is already a tool to do that but I don't know where to find it.
