Step 12Drawing with the device
Because I made some calculation and mounting errors, the pen did not move as I hoped. With the motors I suggested, and the new improvements, your rendition should work pretty well if not perfectly.
By using the joystick, my software allows for you to have both motors running at once, so it is possible to draw a circle and curves. The joystick also has a toggle switch, so when you push down, it causes the pen to either move up or down, as described in one of the earlier steps.
I was able to write Hello, kind of... haha, it is fun to use though... I just wish I ordered motors with better low end torque.
If you want to take the Y out, you can either unscrew one of the X bars, or you can take out one of the stoppers, and slide it out.
Enjoy building and good luck!
