Drawing Lines, Arcs, and Halftones with a Wall Hanging Arduino Drawbot

Download the code here

2013-11-26: updated link to github project!

Among the various features are…

  • Verbose output: Debugging line and arc drawing took a lot of work and I see no reason to remove all the helpful debugging messages.  Maybe it will give you insights to my madness.  uncomment #define VERBOSE to see the storm of messages in the serial interface.
  • Serial command interface: Type commands to the drawbot and it will execute them.  Draw all the arcs & lines you want.  Write a javascript app to send whole SVG files to your drawbot.  Don’t worry about mistakes because I’ve added
  • Sanity checking: Try to send the drawbot out of the work envelope and it will refuse with a cryptic error message.
