If you had not restarted your computer since trying the previous version of RoboPaint, I would suggest trying that. I will follow up here and see if there is anything else that I might suggest. Has your WaterColorBot worked with previous versions o…
-
Oh -- not a launch problem -- you haven't been able to install it yet. Got it. The file RoboPaintMac_v2.0.0-Beta.1.dmg is a disk image (not an application) that should open up when you double click it. After double clicking on that icon, if you can…

If this is on an egg-shaped object, you may be running into map projection: http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Eggbot_Quality_Troubleshooting#Map_Projection

To summarize what we have so far:1. We're looking at a MacOS 10.11.1.2. Both EggBot Software 2.5.0 (which does not work on El Capitan) and the current version (2.6.4, which normally works on El Capitan) freeze when trying to contact the hardware. 3.…
-
Ah, yes-- that's El Capitan, not Yosemite. Please install EggBot 2.6.4 and try again.
-
That changes things; please try the latest version, 2.6.4, available here: https://github.com/evil-mad/EggBot/releases Also, would you please so kind as to post the exact MacOS version number that you are running? (I am running 10.11.1, for example.)
-
One possibility: Your gatekeeper is preventing it from opening. In the Finder on the Mac, select the RoboPaint icon. Right click (or control-click) the icon to get the contextual menu, and select "open" from that menu. (If this is the issue, you w…

Well, Darn. That's the first report that we've had of it *not* working. Can you please say at which stage it gets stuck?
-
Please see if this link works for you: http://blog.emscdn.com/scratch/RoboPaintMac_v2.0.0-Beta.1.dmg
-
Sorry; I thought you would have access. I'll upload it to another host and post a temporary link.
-
This won't solve the main problem here, but I've just uploaded a new version of the EggBot driver (2.6.4) which reverts to the older pyserial version, so that you should not need to copy the serial version from the 2.5.0 release. Please install thi…
-
Two things to check: 1. Do your other Inkscape extensions work? Try, for example, Extensions > Render > Gear > Gear... 2. When your Inkscape is frozen, try unplugging the USB cable-- does that make a difference?
-
If you have an EggBot with the white (not clear) chassis, then your model should have the same capabilities as the current basic model-- no worries there. The current version of Inkscape is 0.91-- I think that you've identified the EggBot software …

You can download a beta version of RoboPaint with support for El Capitan, here: https://github.com/evil-mad/robopaint/releases/download/untagged-cff783c7331b1033525a/RoboPaintMac_v2.0.0-Beta.1.dmg
-
Well... Awesome... and baffling? I'll dig in a bit, and see if I can figure out what the issue is. I may follow up later in this thread with a new version for you to try. It's awfully difficult to debug issues that we can't reproduce locally.
-
That's the first report that we've had of 2.6.3 _not_ working. I do have one thing that you can try, which is rolling back to the earlier version of pyserial: Download the older (2.5.0) version of the EggBot extensions, from here: https://github.co…
-
The "cancel" button for Inkscape extensions has _never_ worked; I'm not sure why they have a button there at all. Please download and install the new version of the EggBot extensions for mac, version 2.6.3, and then restart Inkscape. (Version 2.5.0 …
-
Whoa! I don't think that I've ever seen Inkscape itself freeze or crash from anything EggBot related. Can you please describe anything else that might be relevant about the situation? Is it freezing or crashing? Is it taking XQuartz with it, too? Wh…
-
Yes, that should work fine, without any changes. If you're running anything else off of the 3.3V line, then you should double check to make sure that you're not pulling too much current. If I understand correctly, it's only rated for 50 mA output.
-
Great; glad to hear it. (I was unable to reproduce the issue here.) And, I'm glad that you were able to fix the issue on the engraver.
-
This was never a polarity issue. One of three things is going on here:1) You have a short circuit somewhere, accidentally connecting two of the LED lines2) You have an open circuit-- missing a connection between the LED lines and the (right) LEDs3) …
-
I'll take a look.
-
Great-- I apologize for the hassle; we'll be packaging that up in a formal installer soon.
-
The LED that at 3:00 (not the shadow, but the LED) is D102 on the schematic-- it does signal lines LED2 to LED10. The other LEDs that are lighting there are on LED2 as well. It is likely that the LED there is either shorted or damaged-- I'd suggest …

Hi JCompi, Please try this version of the EggBot extensions: https://github.com/evil-mad/EggBot/releases/download/2.6.3/EggBot_extensions_v263_pys27.zip Unzip and drag the contents of the "extensions" folder into your Inkscape extensions directory…
-
The fact that you have intermittent issues suggests that it's not an issue with the code. This sounds like a hardware problem. It could be an issue with a bad switch, a bad power supply, a cracked capacitor, or with a partial/intermittent short or o…
-
You are asking about several different things here; I'll try to catch them all. 1. "Is there a way to convert my "outline" lines to a single penstroke line?" I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Outlines on art work normally should print as si…
-
You are describing a number of different issues, so there may be more than one thing wrong here. Your crystal and caps are likely just fine; it shouldn't be running at all otherwise. I've never heard of a problem with the direction being initially…

Great-- glad to hear it.

The basic idea is that the software uses a "high pass" filter, that only looks at changes in the brightness level. For the hardware and software-- both of which are open source --please see the documentation on our wiki.
