I began this scene with a plan to design and develop a CNC controller and X,Y table, but after realizing how complex that would be (probably six months of work) I decided to keep it real simple. This CNC Plotter records and plays back only straight lines.
If someone (s_noonan?) would like to add more functions to this, and maybe implement a true CNC controller, be my guest (you have a lot more ambition than I do!!!).
Instructions are in the scene. I hope they aren't too confusing.
EDIT -- So that people don't look at that complex CNC controller and get frightened away, I will tell you that it is only a texture, and there are no active buttons on it. There are only a few labels that light up to indicate the Mode and other status. All control is done via your computer keyboard. Also, you do not need to learn G-Code in order to use this because it does not use G-Code. This scene only records and plays back straight lines. That's all! |
