Fun Programming - Introduction 1. Introduction next episode Welcome to Fun Programming! This is the introduction to a series of videos where I will be explaining creative programming to beginners.

Hardware The Electro-Kistka consists of two main parts, connected by a cable: A heater assembly that gets mounted to the EggBot’s pen arm (in place of the usual pen holder), and a power control board that sits behind the EggBot. The power control board is relatively simple: it accepts input from a plug-in power supply, and has an adjustment pot so that you can set the power level of the kistka. Process: two-tone
