To get a feel for what those will look like when drawn by the Eggbot, change the fill to none and the stroke to a solid line. To learn about creating fills for the Eggbot, this is a good starting place:http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Creating_fille…

The screws are 4-40 (yes, imperial) 3/16" for the gnomon, and 3/8" for the rest. You can also find the bill of materials on our wiki: http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/bulbdial

You may find it helpful to delve into the details of the Eggbot Extensions. In particular, the Options and Resume tabs of the Eggbot control extension cover those topics.

The Creating Filled Regions page of the documentation site should be helpful to you.

First, do not hook them directly to AC! You will need to use an AC to DC converter. It is most efficient to start with a low voltage, something like 3 V if you can find it, but likely 4.5 V or 5 V will be easier to find. Yes, you will need to use cu…

Are your chips inserted fully into the sockets in the correct orientation? Is your power supply regulated and does it have a center positive plug?

Also, what are the specifications of the power supply you are using?

Thanks for your kind words about our kits! Are there any particular types of kits you're looking for? Robotics? LEDs? Do you want soldering kits in particular, or screwdriver type stuff? We've got quite a few more kits you haven't tried yet, like th…

The default behavior that I see is that the pulse LED pulses until I try to program a chip, whether or not there is a chip in the socket. When I load the bootloader, the prog LED turns on during programming in addition to the pulse LED. The prog LED…

I just followed up on your earlier email message, and as it's generally better to keep a discussion in one format, let's stick to email for now.

What are you plotting on? Eggs? Balls? If you are plotting on Eggs, you may want to stretch your drawings by about 50% to account for the elongated shape of the egg. If you're plotting on spheres, stretching shouldn't be necessary.
