Hey folks! I had a few hours to kill yesterday and did something fun. I put together a little pipeline that takes voice commands and asks ChatGPT to turn them into gcode for my sand table. From GPT-4’s point of view gcode is just another language, and he’s (I’m ok anthropomorphizing my AIs) really …

That’s pretty cool. I created a GPT (CNC Buddy), which I’m specializing to answer questions related to FluidNC, and building CNC machines in general. It’s also good at answering questions like: What does this gcode do? And: What size struts should I cut if my table is this big?

Well, I guess my job is the first to fall to AI at V1… I think the Olympic rings were the version after the robot uprising. You have to add “Pre-2028 version of Olympic rings” next time :slight_smile:. Seriously though. What a fun project. Arc commands always have X/Y at the ending coordinates. So…

That’s really cool - love to check it out.

I think you’re safe for a while, and Sandify is awesome. It definitely has a tough time fully understanding how to use arcs and circles. I asked for a row of circles centered on the X-axis for instance but it has a hard time understanding the offset so it will draw them with the starting point on t…

I don’t know a ton about AI, but I have done a lot of computer vision using opencv. With a controlled environment, indoors, you can probably code something up. But it wouldn’t be quick. You could spend a lot of time just coming up with the image coordinates for the corners of the table. If you rigid…

It was either a very productive day or a very unproductive one, depending on how you think about things. Caught an early (10 am!) showing of Dune 2 (3 1/4 hours with commercials, gack), had a late lunch with my friends, and then thought I’d poke at OpenCV and see how far I could get. It actually wor…

In terms of real world applications, the crazy idea would be to tie a camera into a cnc router, let you draw out the patterns you want directly on your board, and have it just go ahead and cut them out for you…

Yep, that’s fantastic. Thanks for the pointer to the thread!

Quick update, I worked on the code a bit to draw the exact shape of the object above it, and tuned it a bit to be accurate for my table. Still taking a picture with my cell phone and copying it to the computer. [IMG_0646] I also pushed the code up to the same github repo as the chatgpt version: G…
