Speed sound tester

The given text discusses an unpublished project involving a MakerBot's extruder moving according to gcode generated by Python script. This script can produce a range of sounds based on specific patterns, allowing users to identify the angle producing their preferred sound. The text also mentions 'circles.gcode', a series of circular movements; 'lines.py', the script for linear x-axis movement from origin to a point and back at various feedrates; and 'movements.dxdf', which includes diverse movements like lines at different angles, arcs, etc. Lastly, 'lines.gcode' is mentioned as the gcode file created by 'lines.py'. In detail, 'lines.py' moves the extruder from (0,0,0) to (n,0,0) along the x-axis at a feedrate of 3500, pauses for two seconds before returning to the origin and pausing again for another two seconds. The process repeats with 'n' increasing from 0 to 40mm in steps of 1mm, then from 40mm to 100mm in steps of 10mm. This sequence is repeated at various feedrates ranging from 3500 to 500 in steps of 200. The resulting gcode file created by 'lines.py' is referred to as 'lines.gcode'. Moreover, the text introduces 'movements.dxdf', a collection of diverse movements including lines at various angles, arcs, and other patterns. Lastly, 'circles.gcode' represents a series of circular movements. In summary, the project involves generating unique sounds by controlling the MakerBot's extruder movement via Python script, examining the relationship between movement patterns, feedrate, and resulting sound. The text describes three key components: 'lines.py', 'lines.gcode', and 'movements.dxdf'. These include linear x-axis movements, gcode file created by the script, and a variety of movements like lines at different angles, arcs, etc., respectively. Additionally, there is mention of 'circles.gcode' for circular movements. This project aims to explore the correlation between extruder movement patterns, feedrates, and sound production. It does this through a Python script ('lines.py'), which generates linear x-axis movements from origin to specific points and back at varying feedrates. The resulting gcode file is named 'lines.gcode'. Another key component is 'movements.dxdf', featuring diverse movements like lines at different angles, arcs, etc. Lastly, there's a series of circular movements represented by 'circles.gcode'. The project described in the text involves the use of Python script ('lines.py') to generate unique sounds by controlling a MakerBot's extruder movement. The script produces linear x-axis movements from the origin to specific points and back at varying feedrates, resulting in a gcode file named 'lines.gcode'. Additionally, there is a collection of diverse movements like lines at different angles, arcs, etc., represented by 'movements.dxdf', and a series of circular movements ('circles.gcode'). The project aims to discover the relationship between movement patterns, feedrates, and sound production.
