    I just got a Makelangelo 5 Polargraph and have been trying to set it up to print using my MacBook Air and the downloaded software. However, once I got everything plugged in as per the video on Marginally Clever’s site, all I got was blinking lights on the Polargraph. The display and 2 other lights are just blinking away… When I opened the software, I was able to select a USB connection but the image on the screen did not alter to look anything like my set up like it did in the video. Is there some sort of instructions somewhere on how to set up and get started with this Polargraph?? I am not familiar with robotics or Arduinos. I was instructed that this Polargraph was super easy to set up and use and it appeared that way on the super super quiet video but I have had no luck so far… Help!

    Hi! Anything not behaving as it did in the video is cause for concern. I meant it when I said it’s supposed to be easy. We test every unit before it ships.

    What was your order number, please?

    Do you have any screenshots of what “the screen did not alter to look anything like my set up like it did in the video” – what happened instead?

    Can you please DM me a clear picture of your machine? If there has been damage in shipping or a loose wire, we’d know what to look for.
