passing text as a parameter?
I have this small module that I can call for putting text in my models-
but rather than have pre-defined text already in the module as I have
now, I would like to be able to call the module and pass the text to it
each time I call it. Is this possible?
I have spent quite some time searching this but so far have found
nothing to indicate it can be done with text.
module place_text()
{
color("blue")
rotate([0,0,0])
translate([0,0,0])
{
linear_extrude(height = 1)
text("VK7KRJ", font = "Liberation Sans:style=Bold", size=2.5);
}
}

A baby can be defined as an ego with a noise at one end and a smell at the other.
Your job as parents is to teach them to control all three.
My job as a grandad is to tell you how you are doing it all wrong!
Just add a parameter to the module.
module place_text(txt)
{
color("blue")
rotate([0,0,0])
translate([0,0,0])
{
linear_extrude(height = 1)
text(txt, font = "Liberation Sans:style=Bold", size=2.5);
}
}
place_text("VK7KRJ");
