I’mma let you finish, but I just have to say that this plotbot is awesome!

I’m really digging the first test drawing that the new plotbot squeezed out from it’s steppers. The image it created on the paper was generated by a couple of different tweaks to the AFMotor+AccelStepper example code.

This plotbot is made up of two PF35T-48 steppers being driven by an arduino & adafruit motor shield.

Future improvements include a servo to control the penup/pendown commands, a MakerBot’d gondola, and some sweet code to make it dance on the paper. I’ll be bringing this drawing machine to the Meet Your Makers event on March 15 @ the Museum of Vancouver.

… oh. and the glowy thing in the bottom-right corner of the first picture is a 5m section of adafruit’s digital addressable RGB LED strip. So much fun to play with, and it comes on a badass radioactive reel!
