    What do you mean, “it doesn’t connect correctly”?

    I draw all kinds of stuff.

    the smaller the picture the better the drawing but once i expand it becomes warped.

    I think this is another effect of the “one motor not holding” issue that was addressed in the other thread. I was seeing an issue a bit like this before I changed to using an earlier version of the Arduino firmware.

    You could try the Arduino FW from https://www.marginallyclever.com/other/Makelangelo.zip (Windows)

    It needs Arduino v 1.0.x to upload it to the Arduino board.

    Worked a treat for me.
