Tiny CNC drawn cat
Someone on Thingiverse, a user named nsa666, has written their own software for using the robot to draw a cat.
This makes me unbelievably happy. First a kitty cat. Next the WORLD.

Hi, I’m very interested in your plotter, as I have come with a very similar idea, but mine is a much larger scale version. Maybe even the potential much much later to be used as a 3D printer. You see the Arduino lets you control a servo with micro pulses, on a standard servo this will give 1800 possitions, so 2 x y servo controled circle gear with a diameter of 115mm will give a working area of 180mm x 180mm with an accuracy of 1/10 of a mm. Quite a large area.. ! But my challenge is the gcode inerpreter for it, I have no idea where to start, I wonder how much luck you are having with this side.
Would like to hear from you on this side of it…
Regards, Gavin.
@Gavin: Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten around to doing much on the software side except to have the little ‘bot draw a grid. But, for an Arduino Gcode interpreter, I’d recommend starting with Dan Royer’s work on the topic – http://www.marginallyclever.com/blog/2013/08/how-to-build-an-2-axis-arduino-cnc-gcode-interpreter/
