By Golan Levin and Asa Foster III for FFFFF.AT     
Developed with Processing, a free, cross-platform  
Java programming toolkit for the arts.             
```
                                      
## ABOUT

```                               
This free program loads a user-specified QR code   
image, from which it generates a topologically     
correct stencil PDF, suitable for laser-cutting.   
```
                                                
## COMPATIBILITY

```                                   
QR_STENCILER has been tested in MacOSX 15.6   
and works with Processing v.3.5.4 and 4.4.7.    
```

## INSTRUCTIONS

```                                     
1. Make a QR code image which embeds a brief text. 
2. Download and install 'Processing' from          
   http://www.processing.org/download              
3. Unzip 'QR_STENCILER.zip' to a folder.           
4. Put your QR code image in 'QR_STENCILER/data/'  
5. Launch Processing and open 'QR_STENCILER.pde'   
6. Press 'Run' (Command-R) to start the stenciler. 
7. You will be prompted to Open your QR code image.
   A default will be opened if none is provided.   
8. After doing so, the program will generate a     
   stencil PDF in the 'data' folder.               
9. That PDF can now be opened in your favorite CAD 
   software, for laser-cutting cardboard, etc.     
10. After marking your stencil, test it with a QR  
   reader, such as your iPhone camera app.
