Arduino Firmware for Eggbot / Spherebot with Inkscape-Integration
|
|
|
|
Version 1.2
|
|
|
|
Regards: Eggduino-Firmware by Joachim Cerny, 2014

Thanks for the nice libs ACCELSTEPPER and SERIALCOMMAND, which made this project much easier. Thanks to the Eggbot-Team for such a funny and enjoable concept! Thanks to my wife and my daughter for their patience. :-)
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- Implemented Eggbot-Protocol-Version 2.1.0
|
|
- Turn-on homing: switch-on position of pen will be taken as reference point.
|
|
- No collision-detection!!
|
|
- Supported Servos: At least one type ;-) I use Arduino Servo-Lib with TG9e- standard servo.
|
|
- Full Arduino-Compatible. I used an Arduino Uno
|
|
|
|
Tested and fully functional with Inkscape.
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
- Upload Eggduino.ino with Arduino-IDE or similar tool to your Arudino (i.e. Uno)
|
|
- Disable Autoreset on Arduinoboard (there are several ways to do this... Which one does not matter...)
|
|
- Install Inkscape Tools wit Eggbot extension. Detailed instructions: (You yust need to complete Steps 1 and 2) http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Installing_software
|
|
|
|
- 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.

Todos and Feature-Wishlist:
|

|
- collision control via penMin/penMax
|
|
- implement homing sequence via microswitch or optical device
|
|
- implement hardware-button , EGGBOT-Guys call it "PRG-Button"
