Overview

The cablecam was born as a first approach to integrating many things; software, hardware design and a couple of fabrication techniques. I am amazed to see the interaction between programming and the real, physical world. This was a first attempt at creating a moving robot, with the simplification of movement along a single axis. The project was finished in late 2019.

I tried making this project mostly with what I had laying around.
