Perceptron Apparatus

Elixir lib for configuring and generating an (svg) design file for a perceptron apparatus---suitable for CNC routing/laser cutting.

See project page for description.

Installation

This package is not (currently) on hex. You can clone the repo and import it via a :path.

You'll also need to download and install the Relief SingleLine font.

A board contains a number of rings, each of which represents a layer in the (MLP) neural network.

SVG classes represent different cut types:

top plate (will all have top class)

bottom plate (will all have bottom class)

add Utils.write_files which writes out all the necessary svgs (baseboard + topboard, plus individual files for each cut type)
design a 400x400 prototype (same radius, inc markings, arc + couple of sliders)
check no quirks in the final svg output which will trip up the CNC machine (e.g. empty text nodes)
replace the "interp and concat strings" approach with proper HEEX templates
add drill holes, etc
add Axon support
- see what the param ranges are (inc. negative?)
- training model based on inputs
- auto-generating the SVG based on the model (i.e. %Axon{} -> %PerceptronApparatus{})
- examples (5x5 MNIST digits, maybe something with language?)
questions for Sam
- "relief" cuts, or other visual emphasis tricks
- class-based approach for different cut types?
- baseboard cuts (and captive slider designs)
- can Cole & I come help?
- prototype next steps
- handles & other holes
- any other design optimisations?
