Nice
Maybe you should look into a spring load on the pen to insure consistent contact and a drafting pad on the surface.

@Lee
So, this one is actually a surplus chemical mixing robot. If I can figure out how to shore up the Z-axis a bit, I’m hoping to turn it into a light-duty router, for cutting things such as PCBs, baked goods, and vinyl Until I get some issues solved (current control mode for the steppers, a reasonable method for leveling the tool to the work surface), it’s just going to be making pen drawings. Got any patterns you would like drawn up?

Ah, pen plotters–probably the single coolest printer I’ve ever used. My highschool’s drafting lab had an old one with an automatic carousal for multiple ink colors. The plotting assembly would return and pick up a different pen when it got done with the one it was using.

So, what’s the plan for this one?

Thanks! Serial control and proper x/y/z motion mixing so that you can move along orthogonal directions simultaniously. The idea is to take some specified motion vector, determine which component has the greatest magnitude, and then figure out how to divide the steps for the remaining components into the sequence for that one. I /think/ it’s pretty easy to do, I started implementing it using discrete math, and stopped to consider whether it should be done the lazy way, using floats

Fantastic! I really like the way unistepper.pde works. So simple!

What’s next? Serial control?
