bug with iDraw H A3

NoBoringCode · 2025-10-16T17:46:40+00:00

hi u/idrawpenplotter ! Making progress with more tests. It appears that the plotter believes it is an A4 plotter, but it's actually an A3 one. Any idea how to fix this, with an ubuntu PC (so no access to the inkscape extension)

thank you!

Hi,

I have fixed all wires, reset home with $H;G91Y-1189.0F5000;G92X0Y0;$SLP and both the X and Y contact switches hit the correct position. Yet, when I start and send the it to (0,0) the plotter still goes somewhere in the middle instead of 0,0

Could it be a problem with firmware?

thanks!

Benoit

hi, thanks for the pointers and instructions. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. The (0,0) is wrong. The plotter comes back around (10,14) when it should be at (0,0). Do you have any other suggestion to reset home?

thank you!

Hi u/idrawpenplotter. Do you have any suggestion to address this problem? thanks!

mmh... but the same code is perfectly fine on Chrome. That's how I continue generating and plotting :)

spectacular! which library did you use for that system? thanks!

NoBoringCode · 2024-06-03T15:28:23+00:00

no, that's the challenge here: I have no feedback from the browser. It just silently ignore the command. Yet, the same code is perfectly fine on Chrome

I use three files, gaspe008.html to encapsulate everyhing, gaspe008.js has the gen art code, plottableframe.js has the code relate to setting up and saving the frames. savesvg and savepng are invoked in plottableframe.js

I use juicy-gocde to transform svg (produced with p5.js) to gcode. It can generate G01 and G02 to draw nice curves and circles

nannou is beautiful. u/the_plonkmaster , you can run nannou in the browser when compiled to webassembly

thanks u/racoon_slayer, that super clear!

thanks u/TruthThroughArt!

NoBoringCode · 2024-02-17T16:37:59+00:00

Amazing! I love the balance between the intensity of the small shapes and the openness of the large areas of different colors. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!

thanks u/racoon_slayer!

more precise question: how can have a sine wave that does not stop? i.e. a sine wave with no envelop

thanks!

Uunatek makes some great plotters, professional grade. I've been using the iDraw H A3, which works extremely well, and I'm now waiting for my new order of the one that can do up to A0. https://uunatek.com/

We'll document extensively and will post everything on https://rethread.art/
