roadmap:

sooner:

  • release python version of models on fullcontrol website

  • export 3D mesh of model

  • real time control

  • add tutorial info about path length function, circleXY_3pt, catmull_rom, bezier_through_points, interpolated_point, segmented_path

  • release new version (changed docstrings and repo structure), modify installation instructions + notebooks to use pip install fullcontrol instead of git+https://github.com/FullControlXYZ/fullcontrol - and update version on pypi

  • update main readme to say users can install from pypi (latest official release) or from github (git+...) to the most up to date version or clone the repo.

  • create 'projects' on github to bring together work relevant to multiple 'issues'

  • create a maths/geometry onboarding-to-expert tutorial (at expert end of the scale, put some prompts about what-ifs for things like switching from CAD to maths or using chatGPT) - "from beginning to expert in 15 minutes!"

    • spend a few minutes learning basics of polar angles, sin waves, etc. then show how they compound into amazing complex geometry using good prompts in chatGPT (but there needs to be a reliable maths chatGPT)

  • add docs explaining how to import and printer in fc from Cura/ and Community/

    • show how to edit the imported printer profile (edit parameters, or edit line X of start_gcode)
    • explain how to find printer names (link to github list or add a search function)

  • consider moving 'devices' directory to top level fullcontrol repo (devices.[VENDOR].[MANUFACTURER_MODEL.json]) /w enum,selection api (not done at present becuase cura manufacturer and model data are inconsistent)

  • add docs to explain options for heavy use: e.g. massive simulations on a virtual CPU/GPU

  • make a create_rag() function that combines a few of the tutorial notebooks, maybe geometry functions and maybe some additional prompts into a single file like a PDF.

  • create new meta repo for fullcontrol_profile_integration

    • one directory in that will be for cura
      • include script to extract printer profiles from cura library and state which commit of the cura repo to pull and the git command to do that, full-variable folder, filtered-variable json folder, minimal variable folder (duplicated in main fc repo), and bin folder

later:

  • refactor documentation - issue
  • update website (www.fullcontrol.xyz) to have more information and have normal website sections? Release website code as open-source repo.
  • generalised multi-axis capabilities
  • 6-axis robots
  • simultaneous control of distributed devices
  • collision detection (nozzle/printer-frame/printed-object) - issue
  • rounded squarewave - issue
  • show print bed in preview - issue
  • facilitate 2D plotters (variable line width) - issue
  • facilitate easy SVG import - issue
  • allow use of more complex gcode commands like G2/G3 - issue
  • warn user if centre point has no z value defined - issue
  • cell control (e.g. dual robots; e.g. printer with supplemental hardware that is not part of the printer)
  • area control (e.g. printer farms with microcontrollers)
  • factory control (e.g. production line(s))
  • enterprise control (e.g. multiple factories)
