Home on Blind Makers

If you’re working on a large 3D model, you know that they can take hours to print.

3D printing is an affordable gateway to tactile graphics, allowing you to share and print them at home.

I happen to have a Mountbatten Learning System electronic brailler.

My friend Ron is blind and does a lot of carpentry and DIY work.

Most Braille embossers can produce low-resolution tactile graphics by reducing the space between adjacent lines and character cells, making it possible to emboss continuous lines of dots.

For months I’ve been carefully refining a mechanical Braille cell project, and it’s now ready for you to build.

This is part of a series of posts on automatically generating circuit descriptions.

In the last post we looked at different ways to represent the information that’s usually presented in a circuit diagram, also called a schematic.

Let’s say you’re a blind hobbyist who’s into electronics.

Motivation Lately I’ve been working on projects to support blind people who are interested in “maker” hobbies like electronics.
