A drawbot inspired by the project Makelangelo by Dan Royer

Primary LanguageJava

This project is inspired from the project "Makelangelo" from Dan Royer (marginallyclever.com) and the project "Der Kritzler" form Alex Weber (tinkerlog.com).

This is another drawbot. ~_~

It use two NEMA23 step motors and a step motor driver board (based on TB6560) bought from ebay and a servo (the pwm signal from microcontroller control the speed of the servo rather than the position). The Microcontroller board is a ChipKIT UNO32. And it is really fast enough to drive the motors and servo under a unbeliveable speed. 
Because of the structor, the faster the Gondola (Penholder) is moving, the stronger the motor should be. For this point I've done a small research and made a data visualization to explain it.

Folder:
Documentation & Presentation: Contain the material that I used to presentate my works in my university and the text documentation of this project
Drawing Data: Vector file collection that I found in internet and some converted .dxf .svg .ngc files
G-Code explaination: G-Code language Documentation and the TB6560 missing manual that I wrote for the badly documentated step motor driver board
Hardware: Contain the 3D laser data to be lasered for this project + TB6560 step motor driver board's original contents that saved on a CD
Software: My software development dummp + three other projects' repo
