# Project Structure

## Controller

A console application written in Java that establish asynchronous communication with the Arduino to control the CNC-Machine from the computer.

It allows the user to select one of the following tasks:

* Solve flow game.

* Paint photo on paper.

* Play piano from the keyboard.

* Calibrate the CNC manually.

The controller is designed in a fully expandable way.

All the logic to communicate and configure the CNC is encapsulated in `CNCTask` class.

So we can simply add new tasks by just extending `CNCTask` class and implementing few methods

without the need to deal with the underlying logic for serial communications with the Arduino.

## Arduino

A C-program burnt on the Arduino that:

* Controls the motors and the sensors on the CNC machine and execute the instructions received from the controller program.

* Has a simple logic for protecting the CNC against some faults that might occur.

## Flow Solver

A C++ program that takes a screenshot for Flow game level, analyses it and perform one of the following tasks:

* Run an algorithm for solving the game level.

* Detect the "Next Level" button.

Finally, it returns an instruction-string that the CNC can perform.

## Painter

A C++ program that takes an image and convert it into an instruction-string that the CNC can perform.
