Aron/Lairon/Aggron/Mega Aggron

Aggron is the Iron Armor Pokemon, and is a Pokemon introduced in the 3rd generation of the franchise. Members of the Aggron are known for digging into the ground to eat iron, which they use to help build their extremely tough armor. Members of the line have made several appearances throughout the run of the anime.

I just got a SKR 3 V3 and am trying to get it working with my Ender 3 V2. I flashed the provided bin file from the github and also compiled my own with no luck. When I run ls /dev/serial/by-id I get usb-Klipper_stm32g0b1xx_4F0011000F50415833323520-if00 which I added to the mcu section on my printer.cfg but I keep getting the message:

I work for an additive manufacturing company and cut off the parts and face the steel plates. I am somewhat self taught on TM 1 Haas Cnc with 2 inch face mill. I wrote this code with Fushion 360. Including a loop program that I modified to pickup the new code I did. It’s a 16X7 inch steel. I have a bunch to face for the next print. I just find the high point and use a caliber to measure how many levels. Any pointers would be appreciated. % 000760 (new long plate clean) (Using high feed G1 F500. instead of G0.) (T1 D=2.

as visible on the video, i'm trying to move the player's arm using InputEventMouseMotion for the rotation, problem is, it has trouble setting itself back to Vector2.ZERO no matter how many times i'm trying to reset it myself in the same method, or multiple methods. let me show you what i mean:
https://reddit.com/link/1clnnkb/video/pd15pusn3uyc1/player
whenever i stop aiming, it always accumulates the movements i've done so far and puts it into negatives when i start aiming again. could have made the video a bit more comprehensible by only enabling the crosshair whenever i was aiming but you see a sudden jump on the opposite direction after i aim again. here's the code i'm trying to use:
var aiming:bool = false var aim_speed:float = 0.01 var mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO var max_rotation_degrees = 20.0 func aim(): mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO aiming = true func reset_aim(): mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO aiming = false func _input(event): if event is InputEventMouseMotion: if aiming: mouse_offset += event.relative func _physics_process(delta): if aiming: mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO print(mouse_offset) var rotation_x = -mouse_offset.y * aim_speed var rotation_y = -mouse_offset.x * aim_speed $root.rotation.y += rotation_y $root.rotation.x += rotation_x mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO else: $root.rotation = lerp($root.rotation,Vector3.ZERO,0.2) mouse_offset = Vector2.ZERO
for good measure, here's the log:

mouse offset at aim press: (0, 0) (0, 0) (0, 0) (-21.17647, 0) (-64.94118, 0) (-117.1765, -4.235294) (-156.7059, -5.647059) (-170.8235, -5.647059) (-172.2353, -5.647059) mouse offset at aim release: (-172.2353, -5.647059) mouse offset at aim press: (0, 0) (0, 0) (173.6471, 5.647059) (173.6471, 5.647059) (173.6471, 5.647059) (173.6471, 5.647059) (173.6471, 5.647059) mouse offset at aim release: (173.6471, 5.647059)

the plain coordinates are called in _physics_process(), the mouse offset XY is coming from the aim() and reset_aim(). i have zero idea how to make this return correct values at this point and i'm more than sure it's a simple solution, but i'm just not seeing it

I wan‘t to build a similar game to graphwar, but with a Bot that plays for me. For that I need a way to plot a graph in a tkinter widget so that I can:
-Enter a mathematical function and have it plotted
-Have a custom background (I want a grid, and xy axis with numbers and marks e.g. 10,20,30…)
-Beeing able to add objects into the graph that should act as Checkpoints(instead of soldiers)or as obstacles to manoeuvre around.
The most frequent module I find when searching “graph plotting in tk” is Matplotlib, but the only graphs I saw were windows with xy and coordinates with a simple graph. I saw that there are Style sheets for matplotlib but they don’t fit my requirements.
Does anybody have a clue on which module I could try or if even should use tkinter?

the thing i would be teaching is how to draw on an etch a sketch which is something not a lot of people do, and even fewer of them care to teach people how to do it in any detail. this is something i did for a couple years many years ago and got pretty good at it. i recently got in contact with someone local who also has been doing it for a while and we met up last sunday and i showed her as much as i could during the 2 hours we met up until she needed to leave and do the other things she needed to do. i showed her my technique for measuring and marking proportions from a source image and the tools i use (a pigma micron marker and a geometry compass nowadays), finding easily identifiable points of reference in a source image in the borders of shapes where you intend to create lines as what i call "hard nodes", and creating your own points of reference around shapes where there aren't any, which i call "soft nodes". measuring and marking is plotted on an XY grid, not like grid paper where there are blocks, but things are measured from one side and plotted, and then measured out from the other side on the line that the original dot was placed on to mark the final coordinate of it. i also showed her my process for creating shading which is something she struggles with so much that she just doesn't shade unless the shaded area is a flat homogenous tone of linear hatching. she expressed that this inability to shade makes a lot of her drawings, especially portraits, look very flat. i also showed her some resources that can help her simplify parts of the process like for example using posterization to compress the dynamic range into something similar to cel shading so you can more easily identify blocks of value to shade.
there's a lot of terms and concepts here that probably don't make a lot of sense unless you know a lot about etch a sketch and detailed pure lineographic drawing already. she seemed very eager to meet up and learn and when we did i tried my best to explain what i could. she could just be busy in the mean time or has been trying to get through what i taught her, or she might not have found any of it valuable and doesn't want to waste any more time with me, but i said if she wanted to meet up again i could give her a real time demonstration of shading so i can explain to her in real time the decisions i'm making for how and what to shade and how i'm interpreting shading in the source to translate it into shading in the drawing. almost all of what we got through was me explaining concepts and giving some practical demonstrations to explain what it meant and what the practical application of it is but there wasn't time for me to actually really draw anything. she hasn't contacted me again about that and i don't know if she ever will. i expressed to her how i felt like i was doing a bad job at being a teacher but was trying my best and she was reassuring me that i was doing fine and she was learning a lot of valuable things but the fact that i haven't heard back from her or got any feedback after we parted ways had left me feeling discouraged about my ability to effectively teach anyone about this.
something important to consider also is that even though she's also gotten pretty good at etch a sketch, she said that she has pretty much no art experience or education and no normal drawing experience really. i was trying to explain shapes and value for the shading thing and it seemed to be a lot of stuff she hadn't really heard about before and i felt like i was working extra hard explaining something and asking if she knows what i mean and then i go a layer deeper into a fundamental it relies on and she says she's never heard of that so i go down another level further into fundamentals and she hasn't heard of that. people taking a class from me are probably going to be like this, i think most are not going to have a lot or any art concept education. i guess i could teach them how to start with something like really basic line art like a simple cartoon character design they want to copy, like pikachu just as an example. that could maybe be the basis for the beginner class, choose a gen 1 pokemon just for consistency and simplicity and the goal is to draw the line art of that, and then for advanced concepts get more into realism and layered shading and value blocks. that might be doable if i keep things very limited in scope and only teach the bare minimum of what someone would need to leave the class with just enough information that i can get through that and they have enough to be able to start making things on their own.
something i really worry about is that even though i like explaining things to people and teaching people how to do something, with art stuff like this i have a hard time actually doing it myself unless i'm really into it and wanting to do it, so it's not something it's easy for me to just turn on and do whenever i need to. another issue is that for a group of people i would need a bit of a setup to demonstrate. i would need a tv or a projector and a recording of myself drawing and talk about it, or a camera pointing down at what i'm doing and a projector showing it to everyone. if it ends up being a small enough group then people can just gather around me at a table and watch directly but an etch a sketch screen isn't huge but i don't know how many people it would be, like 5 or 10 or 20. there are a lot of complications to this that could balloon the scale of a class up to being several hours long when the people organizing it only set it up for like an hour. the biggest immediate hurdle to someone getting into it and this really is square 1, is just getting a hand of the muscle memory of controlling the knobs. people might spend the entire thing just fiddling around with that because it really does take a while to get the hang of that.
anyone who has put together and taught a drawing class and has some advice for me on how to teach people how to draw, i would appreciate any advice you have for me on how to do this because just thinking about how i might handle this has me pulling my hair out with how complicated it all is, and how much there is to cover if i'm trying to be comprehensive. if i'm trying to stick to the bare basics just to make it realistic and manageable, even that feels like a lot. something that especially bothers me to think about is if i do a bad job and people are dissatisfied or even if they think it was ok, they leave without anything they can do anything with for their education on the subject. then i wasted their time and money and didn't give them what they paid for. i would feel guilty about that.

Clemont: "Dawn is right.... My system had shows that the chance of freeing Ash is..... 0.00004%....and we have 98% chance of getting ourselves killed for nothing! "
Serena: "Which means that we still have 0.00004% chance to save him right? Who knows if we haven't try yet?"
Clemont: "But Serena that's too dangerous-"
Dawn: "Maybe Serena was right. Clemont had shows that we still had chance to free him. If Ash is here, he would said the same thing"
Serena: "And yes....I'm also afraid to be killed by Ash, like everyone else..... We're far from fearless and straightforward as Ash did. But who would do that if I don't?"
