Listened in on the design sprint about gas delivery system for the CNC torch table
Goals for the coming week (15 - 19 July)
- create infographic for CNC torch table
- 1. information to include
- an image of the machine
- images of the components/parts
- text labels for components/parts
- text general description
- 2. design considerations
- keep in mind formatting and layout issues for future infographics for all 50+ OSE machines
- these infographics should give even newcomers to OSE a general overview of each machine
- questions to answer in the infographic
- ¿how is it scalable?
- ¿how is it modular?
- which other machines is it related to (machine ecosystem)
- create icons for six CNC torch table dozuki documentation categories
- plasma cutter integration
- stepper driver
- stepper motor controller
- table structure
- torch height control
- universal tool mounting
- follow along and do sketchup tutorial nº2

Added on more graphic (generic hose routing schematic) to backhoe dozuki documentation. backhoe categories

Added two more graphics (boom and dipper stick) to backhoe dozuki documentation. backhoe categories

Mocking up sample guides for backhoe dipper stick for further discussion backhoe categories
Added preliminary blueprint style images (dipper stick, bucket, pivot, stabilizer leg) to Dozuki[1] Backhoe guide[2] main category headings. [3]
note:
- Size for dozuki guide images 800 x 600px minimum
- Size for dozuki category images 592 x 444px minimum
- Watch out when naming categories (and maybe guides as well) for the first time!! the title text will determine the URL of the category, so if future changes are made (and this might be due to my privilege settings) the URL name won´t update with the change in title. For example, clicking on the first link in this log entry will take you to a URL ending in "how_to_build_a_boom" even though the on screen title is "Dipper stick part guides".
Process sequence:
- rough sketch [4] the component with black ballpoint
- scan it at 300dpi
- drop it into photoshop on top of blue print background (add link to file here)
- invert image color (shortcut command PC: Ctrl + i)
- mask off extraneous lines to clean it up a bit
- trace the basic outline with the pen tool
- select the traced outline and fill with background blue and add a drop shadow.
- save for web at 1890 x 1299px (roughly 756kb)
