FollowPath_Macro on joined segments?

[Outsourced]

Hey FreeCAD,
Firstly hope your all well, Well my daughter absolutely hates being called Chicken_Monkey. So like any good father I intend to build a brand around that phrase. Ideally I'd like to be able to traverse a Ball Point pen AKA "Sphere" along the out line of the Phrase Chicken_Monkey that part seemed to go ok. I now have the outline in both a wire & a sketch, but when I go to run either macro it can't get passed the first segment.
kind of hit a wall and not sure where to take day2 Python class?

shp.Length is the entire length of the wire, not the length of the current edge.

Code: Select all

obj = App.ActiveDocument.getObject("Wire")
shp = obj.Shape
edge = shp.Edges[0]

for edge in shp.Edges:
    pos = 0
    while pos < edge.Length:
        try:
            t = edge.getParameterByLength(pos)
            v = edge.valueAt(t)
        except ValueError as ve:
            print(f"error: {ve}, t = {t}, v = {v}")
            break
        App.ActiveDocument.getObject("Sphere").Placement=App.Placement(v,App.Rotation(App.Vector(0,0,1),0))
        App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
        Gui.updateGui()
        pos=pos+0.5
        if App.ActiveDocument.Comment =="s":
            break

Hope you get a laugh, I hope you don't mind me asking how many years in Python?

I did some very minimal dabbling in python, but only after starting using FreeCAD in 2018, did I begin grasping more than the very basic concepts.
