2D Cryoprinter

Repository for the Temperature-Controlled 2D "Cryoprinter."

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Arduino IDE: For uploading code to the Arduino controlling the thermal camera.
• Processing IDE: For running the visualization software.
• MLX9060X Thermal Camera
• Arduino NANO

Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine using

   git clone https://github.com/CreativeNick/2D-Cryoprinter.git

2. Arduino Setup: Upload the Arduino code to your Arduino IDE. (Change the code to match the correct port if necessary).
3. Processing Setup: Similar to the Arduino Setup, upload the Processing code to your Processing IDE. (Change the code to match the correct port if necessary).

Usage

Once both the Arduino and Processing setups are complete, first run the Arduino sketch and close the Serial Monitor (Both serial monitors for Arduino and Processing cannot be active at the same time). Then run the Processing sketch to start visualizing the thermal data. This visualization aids in monitoring and adjusting the cryoprinting process in real-time.
