Uploading to Oasis Mini

Selecting in Smartphone App

Add Track, my tracks.

Known issues

  • Smartphone App: Custom uploaded tracks will fail the first time you play them, have to select and hit play twice.
  • Sandify: Can't move the damn starting position of where the tool (metal ball) starts. Probably a way to do this but haven't figured it out yet.

Software Specific Notes

  • InkScape Notes:
    • Converting From Image: Path-> TraceBitmap-> Apply.
    • Note: Not sure if this was necessary: Layers, hide image only leaving the path. Hit lock icon.
  • JsCut Notes:
    • Pocket worked fine for the SVG file of the makers local image, but Engrave was the only one that allowed me to generate gcode for LynxFlows.

Not sure why this made a difference, yolo.
