pad_context — DRIVE pegtactile op

• Data kinds: table → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.pad_context(pad: 'dict', jitter_px: 'float' = 0.5, seed: 'int' = 7) -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import pegtactile; pegtactile.pad_context(pad: 'dict', jitter_px: 'float' = 0.5, seed: 'int' = 7) -> 'dict'; from the registry, opsdrive.get("pad_context"))

Usage

Tools built just 1 time for membrane synthesis and reading: grid of pixel centers (X, Y), Cerruti kernel, 3-color lights, background of the unloaded membrane, and the marker reference image.

The markers' phase is scattered by uniform jitter of jitter_px (about the level of printing variation). On a regular grid (0 px) all markers share the same sub-pixel phase, so centroid pixel-locking becomes a common mode across the whole field and produces false shear even at zero shear (in the PoC gate, 11 mN → 0.9 mN). seed is the random seed for the jitter. The returned _model_cache and _sr_cache are internal caches for the read. Raises ValueError: jitter < 0.
