How to use this forum
Forums can be confusing to use sometimes. This one is built with “Discourse.” I have made a quick intro video on how to use it, which appears below. I hope it’s helpful.

Comments or suggestions regarding this site should be posted in reply to this thread. Please don’t forget to add the Category “Site Feedback.”

Is there BOM anywhere? drawings? I’m interesting in bulding one.

Check http://kinograph.cc for the previous version of Kingraph. It has links to the BOM, assembly instructions, software, etc.

Those plans are no longer being supported, however. It was meant as a proof-of-concept only. It does work, but is not suited for use outside of a test environment (meaning I had to fix it all the time).

This site’s purpose is to gather information to be used in the building of the next prototype.

The original Kinograph YouTube channel, the channel that video was posted on, was “terminated” by YouTube back in March. They basically said the channel violated some of their Terms of Service. From what Matthew has said, they never gave a reason for why they deleted the channel.
