What’s next?
- Well, once the parts arrive I’ll have my hands full. I’ll need to:
- Solder up the Adafruit Motor Shield kit
- Solder together some long wires to run between the motors and electronics
- Print or recycle some spools1
- Print the motor mounts and print-head/gondola
- Add some monofilament line2
- If the monofilament-spool system doesn’t work, I’ll switch to a ball-chain pulley system
- Buy a long 1×1 wood board to which I can bolt all the parts
- Put the parts together
- Download some code
- Hack some code
- Upload some code
- Draw, ‘bot, draw!
