Computerized Etch a Sketch

Step 16 Done!

Well, that should be enough to get you up and drawing! Enjoy, draw some cool stuff, send me some pictures if you make one of these. One thing that would make this project a lot better is wrapping some feedback around the etch-a-sketch. The drawing mechanism has a lot of slop in it, and drawing open-loop, as you can see from the pictures, has some bugs. You can try to account for the slop in the code, but putting a camera over this sucker and wrapping the entire device in a closed loop is the 'right' way to do it, although it kinda defeats the purpose of having a cool self-contained etch-a-sketch that draws all by itself.

Well, this instructable's done! I'm going to go and do something unwise now (see image).
