   100%, it helps so much with the wiring.

   I milled a test block in wood to check the accuracy, and it was sub-millimeter accurate. I can't measure further than that as my tools doesn't allow it. But I doubt that it's super accurate due to the 3d-printed parts, alumin

   Haven't seen this one before, thanks for sharing!

   Yeah it can! Ivan Miranda, the guy who has created the blueprints actually updated his machine with aluminium parts, milled on the CNC-machine. That might be something I'll do in the future!

   Thanks! I think it spent around $1100 in total, but then I paid for fast shipment and ordered quite a lot of parts that I ended up not using. You can probably build it for $600-$1500, depending on where you source the parts, what quality yo

   Aluminium is quite soft, so it might work if you have access to a screwdriver and a step drill

   I just finished my latest project, building a CNC-machine from scratch using an Arduino Uno, GRBL and 40x 3d-printed parts. It’s able to mill wood and aluminium, up to ~20mm thick. As with all my other projects, I think they should be execu

   Just bought a copy! As a DS wanting to shift more towards Data Engineering, I’m looking forward to read it :)

    Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I used that repo to train the NN. Then I modified and reduced the code to only include the generative part, and that is what I added to the Kiosk-code.

    I'm glad that you're bringing this up, because it's an interesting (almost philosophical question) around what art is. In my mind, the interesting part in this installation is not necessarily the generated artworks, but rathe

    The Frame 32" and Nvidia Xavier NX cost ~$500 each (including import taxes etc), the rest (cable channels, screws etc) ~$50. So a total of around $1050

    Thanks, I appreciate it! I really enjoy writing these guides for others to learn, it forces me to think more about the process :) If you liked this one, I've also written another guide where I built a full-size arcade machine from scra

    If I remember correctly, The Frame 32" only has a One Connect cable connection on the back. The reason is that you won't get the flat TV-to-wall surface otherwise.

    I think you're trading of the design for a bit of quality, you'll probably get more bang for the buck if you buy a non-designer smart TV. That being said, it's still a good TV!

    Exactly, a big part of the project was to learn about edge-computing and integrating sensors with the GPIOs. But sure, that would've been possible to do.

    That is amazing!! I actually looked into buying an E-ink screen for this project, but decided not to due to the cost and the lack of compatibility. Was the E-ink screen simple to work with?

    I scraped them from various art websites.

    Hmm, I think The Frame 32" was about $500 and the Nvidia Xavier NX costed as much (including import taxes etc). The other stuff (cable channels, screws, MDF etc) was probably around $50. So a total of around ~$1050.

    Yeah, that would've been optimal, but it's also a lot more work, so I decided to use cable channels in the end.

    My intension is not for people to replicate my work (the trained GAN-network), but rather supply a tutorial over how to build the installation. Then people can add their own generative art/code. It could be ML-generated, or traditional

    I truly enjoy working on projects that includes both areas, interesting tech and woodwork :)

    That's what I think as well, it adds an interesting dimension to the installation

    Thanks! Yeah, I removed it as I want people to use their own generative art in their own build. But if you're interested, here's the implementation I used: https://github.com/taki0112/StyleGAN-Tensorflow

    Thanks! Depending on how many artworks you've created, it might be difficult to train a GAN network on them (due to overfitting). What you might try is to train one network with a lot of random artworks, then use a Style-transfer netwo
