Hi friends, this is the long awaited video in which i have explained how to use the writing machine aka 2D Plotter i have made in the previous video.

i have explained everything you need to know to operate the machine. from firmware upload, software to use the machine, and software in which you can create text or graphics to plot on the 2d plotter.

UPDATE: Writing machine V2 upgraded version complete build video
available here:    • How to Make Homework Writing Machine ...  

Part List, BOM and Design files Links: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

the machine uses GRBL firmware which can be uploaded through the arduino IDE.

NOTE: the servo motor requires a modified version of the GRBL code. it will not work with the standard GRBL available online. i have modified the GRBL to work with the servo, you can download it from the link below.

once GRBL firmware is uploaded, you can operate the machine using Universal Gcode Sender. using UGS, you can run gcode files on the machine, send gcode commands, or even manually control the machine using the jog controller.

finally i explain how to create gcode files using inkscape. you will need to add additional plugins to inkscape in order to enable gcode generation.


i have mentioned all the file links below:
