Start the show with [Space]! Leave your thoughts and suggestions down in the comments! (Keep conversations on topic, please.) {Click the flag to reboot the program if you get stuck} -----------------------------Scroll Down---------------------------- Update Log 1.0.7 - Added SplashScreen 1.0.7 - Breathed a flay of life into the dropdowns, beginning the explanation frame into How It Works (HIW) and setting up Camera Mode (CAM) Click em and see what they do now! 1.0.5 - changed the circular object to draw more attention, added the two new dropdown(upwards?) tabs: "How It Works" and "Camera Mode" 1.0 - Release! Basic PinPointing of a circular object
This project was inspired by Michael Reeve's tomato extraction machine, specifically how he pinpointed the locations of tomatoes in a salad in order to 'extract' them, although this project isn't designed to detect anything else other than that big red dot. (not yet :>) -----------------------------Scroll Down---------------------------- {How this program works] (nerd stuff) The 2 bars (BarX and BarY) start at the left and the top of the screen, then run at a speed of 2 x/y per loop. When the bars touch the circle (inner red part) They record the position that they begin and end touching the red area (Start x/y and End x/y) These values are plugged into an equation ((start + end)/2) to find the x/y position, which the bars are sent to. In future iterations of this project, I will (try to) include: -Faster PinPointing - An option to PinPoint in real life using a camera (more on that when it's done) - An option to draw your own objects to PinPoint their exact "location" (which is impossible to do with Pen without breaking the project in half and fixing it without Flex Tape).
