Theory about plotting (x,y) co-ordinates using any kind of plotter

Shane Ormonde9 years ago8 months ago01 mins

For a college project last year, I built a plotter using cd drives. It had two cd drives in it, one for x direction and one for y. Pretty quickly it was drawing basic shapes like circles and squares. This was done by creating a simple function that accepted two arguments : the x and…

Second attempt at making an x-y plotter (TinyPlotter)

This plotter was built using parts from cd disc drives. The parts that actually control the motion are the steppers in the cd drives. The steppers are normally used to move a laser diode back and forth over the disc to read it. For this project, a separate disc drive was attached perpendicular to the…

Why don’t you just use GPS with 2 cm accuracy which is achievable with RTKLib?
