Cybernetic Garden — arm composer prototype

Pointillism Pad

A visitor drags a finger across the grid to place pigment dabs. On submit the pattern becomes a flight plan: one dab per filled cell, in the order a gripper-held brush would touch the paper. Example composition loaded below — clear it to draw your own.

30 × 42 grid · 7 mm pitch on A4 (210 × 294 mm) drag to paint · tap eraser to lift a dab

Pigment

Five pots is what the rig can plausibly hold and re-dip from. No colour mixing — pigments sit next to each other, the way real pointillism works.

Why dabs, not strokes: a continuous line needs constant contact force through the wrist, and that axis isn't calibrated yet. A dab is a single press-and-lift, so this sidesteps the force-control problem until the gripper's back.

Flight plan — queued, not sent

This is where the dab sequence would hand off to goto_pose.py's cartesian sibling once the wrist board and pigment-cup calibration exist. For now it just proves the data shape.
