Given the age of the hardware, a lot of the documentation is out of date. This article will help you getting the device to work with your WINDOWS computer.


Assembly Instructions

If, for some reason, a device broke or you need to reassemble it, here is a link to the | official assembly guide

General Hardware Specifications

  • They are controlled by a custom Arduino UNO compatible board with Custom Firmware.
  • The two stepper motors are driven by a 12V external Power supply
  • Some of them might have an additional Servo motor to control a Pen or a Magnet Holder.

Getting it to work

  • Connect the XY Plotter using a Micro-USB Cable.
  • Make sure the XY Plotter's 12V power supply is plugged in and that power is turned on (in addition to the USB Connection).
  • Download the software "mDraw" either from the official Plotter website or from the Spiel und Objekt Buschcloud [|here].

Be:B.E.R.N.D.

The following code connects a xy-plotter to unity and also simulates the movement of the plotter in the game view. A simple white plane represents the scale of the plotter and a white cube its movement. The movement is controlled by the arrow keys.
