elkplotter

Do you have a AxiDraw pen plotter and want it to plot an image generated by AI from a prompt you send via SMS? Then this project is for you!

This project will:

1. Receive a prompt via SMS with 46elks, e.g. "a moose riding a snowboard"
2. Generate an image with DALL·E
3. Vectorize the image with vpype and vpype-vectrace
4. Send the image to a connected AxiDraw plotter and begin plotting

You will need:

• A computer with a connected AxiDraw pen plotter
• A 46elks account with an SMS-enabled phone number
• An OpenAI account
• An internet facing server that can receive the SMS messages from 46elks.

The project is divided into a server and potentially multiple clients. The server receives SMS messages, generates and vectorizes the image and sends it to the plotter over a websocket. Clients connect to the server via websocket and receives images to plot.

See server/README.rst and client/README.rst for more information about how to use the project.
