polargraph_serverGP
My project is based on Sandy Noble's super polargraph.co.uk project
This Polargraph server version is connected to the fantastic GCODE converter of Scott-Cooper!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
My Polargraph server works WITHOUT Polarshield touchscreen, only with standard components! Arduino Mega standard LCD 4x20 1 x Rotary Encoder 4 x pushbutton
1 x Datalogger Shield with SD card. Modified for MEGA pinout!!! UNO ----> MEGA A4,A5 --> Pin 20,21 (SCL,SDA) 11,12,13-->50,51,52 (SPI bus)
2 x PicoDrive Stepper driver modul
Extended GCODE command set. Drawing directly from SD card or from PC with Sandy Noble's Controller. https://github.com/euphy/polargraphcontroller //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Polargraph
Polargraph is the name of the project, and is a portmanteau word invented by the writer solely for this purpose. Any machine that runs the Polargraph software is technically a polargraph machine. I usually reserve the big-P "Polargraph" for things made by The Polargraph Company, including the Polargraph software and PolargraphSD machine.
Other hanging-v plotters are probably compatible with Polargraph software, but unless they run it, they are not even polargraphs with a small P.
