Hacking old 2d data plotters to make art...
First tries
USB to Analog
Based on GCodeToAnalog by GaudiLabs modded grbl firmware.
Uploading the code to Arduino Micro:
avrdude -c stk500v1 -p atmega32u4 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b19200 -U flash:w:/home/dusjagr/Documents/SGMK/gcode_plotter/GCodeToAnalog-master/grbl-atmega32u4-support-8c_analog/grbl.hex
grbl settings and more
https://github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki/Interfacing-with-Grbl
Create gcode from Inkscape
Installing gcodetools extenstion for Inkscape.
Send to plotter
Installing UGS (UniversalGcodeSender), standalone Java program multiplatform.

First results
painting a coconut
the horned god
TO DO
Connect pen lift from z-axes
Done with NPN BC457 and 5V relais.
optimizing settings
grbl settings

Increasing the acceleration helped a loooot!
Change in inkscape gcodetools
feed (kinda the speed) best to change in the default tool settings in inkscape.
