- Because of an bug in the Eggbot-extension (Function findEiBotBoards()), the Eggduino cannot be detected by default. Hopefully, the guys will fix this later on. But we can fix it on our own.
It is quiete easy:
Instructions: Go to your Inkscape-Installationfolder and navigate to subfolder
.\App\Inkscape\share\extensions
open File "eggbot.py" in texteditor and search for:
"Try any devices which seem to have EBB boards attached" delete or uncomment the following 6 lines
(example: in Version 2.3.4 line 1353-1357)
save file and enjoy your selfmade Eggbot/Spherebot with full Inkscape-Integration.
Prepare some Eggs and have fun.
Go to your Inkscape-Installationfolder and navigate to subfolder .\App\Inkscape\share\extensions open File "eggbot.py" in texteditor and search for: "self.svgSerialPort" around row 1348
Replace "self.svgSerialPort" in "line serialPort = self.testSerialPort( self.svgSerialPort )" with your COM-port-number.
COM1 is 0
COM2 is 1
COM3 is 2 etc....
example:
So if your arduino / eggduino is located at COM3 it should look like:
"line serialPort = self.testSerialPort(2)"
