Forged in FreeCAD: LumenPnP, An Open Source Pick and Place Machine

It’s an amazing age for making things, and an even greater age for making things using open source solutions. At our recent FOSDEM stand we shared the booth with KiCad, the open source electronics …

Just noticed that WireViz (A documentation tool for electrical wiring/cables - https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz ) has recently released an update.

One of the new features let you mark connectors as being joined together, which should let me unbodge a couple of my existing diagrams.

Wochenrückblick, Ausgabe 24 (2024-03).

Diesmal mit WireViz (GraphViz für Verkabelungen 🤓), einem hypnotisierenden Blick auf die Bits des aktuellen Unix-Timestamps, Applite - dem macOS App Store für Homebrew Casks, noch mal llamafile (LLM für die Ausführung auf dem eigenen Rechner), dem BFG Repo-Cleaner und wie mir dieser helfen soll (BFG9000 kennt ihr auch noch?), Debugging-Tricks für die Browser Developer Tools, wieder Wildschweine im Garten und wie immer Techno.

Eine kleine Zusammenfassung der Dinge, die mir in der Kalenderwoche 03 widerfahren sind.

@melle ok, I found the output files in #wireviz

If you don't supply a -o output then the output files are in the same folder as the input file.
That makes sense, I guess it would be either there or the "Present Working Dir"

Thanks for a useful tool. Now I have to see how to handle a cable(wire) with more than 2 connectors.
This is becoming my rabbit hole for the day.

@melle thanks for the tip. I downloaded it and tried and it worked the 2nd time.

The trick is you have to specify an output even thou their doc say its optional.

wireviz -o fred /home/me/Downloads/wireViz/demo01.yml

You will get 5 files with name fred and different extension, one for each type of output(png,svg,html etc)
