Since a small challenge is never enough for me, I've decided to slap a pile of old and spare parts together into this proof of concept:
I'm simply using the latest open source marlin firmware on a Arduino 2560 mega with an old ramps 1.4 board off my 3D printer to run the g-code. The g-code itself is calculated in a google sheets spreadsheet. I just have to copy and paste the code column into notepad and save as .g-code.
This is first bit of code that was running correctly. The tube it's making is a 29mm mandrel wound with 0.24" wide filament at about a 70 degree wind angle. I have more features to add yet, but seeing this run has been truly satisfying.
