About this model

Warning: I'm getting more messages from builders of this robot saying that either the required software is not available or it doesn't work under Windows 11. I may eventually remove this "Thing" since I don't want people to invest time building a robot with no software support. Be warned, this robot is a lot of work and it may not be possible to operate it as newer versions of Inkscape, GRBL, UGS, and Arduino may present incompatibilities. If you think you have the software abilities to resolve conflicts, enjoy this project otherwise I suggest building a newer design where someone has updated the software. This design still presents useful documentation for the mechanical build of a drawing robot. The DrawBot is similar to the commercially available AxiDraw. It is powered by an Arduino Uno…
