All these are doable at your own initiative, | |||
===Tricking the software to think it has a laser cutter attached === | |||
The laser software won't generate .mol files unless it thinks it has a laser cutter attached. Possible ways to do this include: | |||
* Emulate the the usb device. No known way to do this, so research it. Either hardware or software. | |||
* Look at the code. If it just asks windows what USB devices there are attached, make it ask for things already attached. | |||
===Programmatic problems=== | |||
* Automate .mol file analysis - [[automol]] | |||
* Research dxf handling | |||

We could do with setting up the old dirty room for presentations, so we can have presentations later on. | * We could do with setting up the old dirty room for presentations, so we can have presentations later on. | ||
* Connecting laz0rs (the machine that runs the laser cutter) to the network | |||
* Get some laser cutter | |||
