Hi there!Sorry to hear about the problem. There isn't much to go wrong here, so you should -- especially with a multimeter handy -- be able to find the problem. Take a look at the schematic (available here) to see how things are wired up. D4 is dr…

We have thought about this previously in the context of using the EggBot as a rotary axis in a laser. (It should work but we haven't gotten around to it-- mainly for lack of actually needing to laser any round objects.) My main concern would be that…
-
Great-- sorry for the hassle. Each new version of Processing breaks the old code, and we've been waiting for them to officially release the new version for a while before getting back into it.

Have you tried running the executable directly?

For the hatch fill, you can delete the extra lines. 1. Edit > Select all2. Object > Ungroup3. Path > Break apart4. Click on the individual lines that you want to remove, and delete them. You will also likely be able to find some combinatio…

For the StippleGen: Can you please show what the SVG file looks like in Inkscape, before you print it? The usual process is to 1. "Save Stipple File (SVG format)"2. Open that file in Inkscape3. Move the image (optional)4. Print onto the object Ar…

For a photo, you will need to post it online and put the URL here. I suggest using http://imgur.com Hatch Fill has difficulty with sharp inside corners. Try adjusting changing the spacing, try changing the Tolerance value, and try changing the minim…
-
Can you please post a photograph of what is happening with stipplegen? When you are working on the separated image layers, try working on one layer at a time, and hiding all of the others.
-
I am not sure that I understand your question. Perhaps it is the case that you have a filled area, but Inkscape is only drawing the borders?
-
To move all of the layers at once, first use the command Edit > Select All in All Layers That will allow you to move all of the layers at the same time. While they are selected, you can also use the command Object > Transform... in order to …

It still sounds like you're trying to solve a number of unrelated problems here. For the case of the Peggy board, if you would like to send it and the programming interface to us, we could test them for you. Otherwise, you should try and establish _…
-
Can you please the test that I suggested with the Uno and Duemilanove _with the same cable_ to see how that behaves? If it still fails, do you have any reason to believe that the Duemilanove is still functional? For programming the Peggy 2, can you…
-
You are trying to debug many things at once, and that is a recipe for making things difficult. Please use a single computer (I suggest one of the Macs-- generally a little more forgiving), and start with a fresh copy of the Arduino IDE. Try to upl…
-
It is not clear to me exactly what you are trying to do, nor exactly what the problem is. You have said that you are trying to get a Peggy board working, but that you're using an Arduino Mega2560 on it. The Peggy boards do not come with an Arduino…
-
Why are you moving the layers?
-
I'm afraid that I do not understand the problem. Can you please try again to explain what is going wrong?
-
I'll take a look at it. If you could please either e-mail us directly or use the contact form, that would let us have your e-mail address for sending it back to you.
-
You can see our e-mail address here: http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/about ; you likely also have it available as part of your EggBot materials.
-
Can you send us the file via e-mail?
-
EggBot users exist at all levels of skill; no need to worry. Do you have a high-quality version of the logo that you can link to?
-
Are you using this with the watercolorbot, or some other machine? The EggBot doesn't normally draw on paper.
-
Yes, that will work fine: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2014/larson-scanner-modding/
-
Potentially yes, but the Larson Scanner cannot take 12 V directly. You'll need to reduce this to 5V or lower (e.g., with a voltage regulator) in order to be able to power the Larson Scanner.
-
I think that we will probably *not* add a jumper for the capacitor. It's not for every board version, and it is sometimes counterproductive. For this particular case, the real issue is that the instructions *should* say to not connect the ISP shiel…
-
I've just done some testing here, and I was able to reproduce your error. I was also able to get around it by temporarily removing the 0.1 uF capacitor when initially writing the ArduinoISP sketch. Would you please give that a try? Also: we looked i…
-
Well, you could take that existing kit and reprogram it-- or you could do it on an Alpha Clock Five (or in any other number of ways) -- but unless there's a full readymade solution to do exactly that, there will be *some* programming required.
-
Here is a very simple way: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=random+number+between+354+and+754
-
It depends what you're after-- this is pretty easy to do in software on a computer, or with a microcontroller. However, it depends how random you want your random numbers to be. Pseudorandom is easy. True hardware random number generation is a bit t…
-
It is not currently possible through that API. However, I have submitted a feature request for it, because it's a good idea: https://github.com/evil-mad/robopaint/issues/224 Also, if you're handy with javascript, you may find it straightforward to…
-
Have you been able to make any progress on this? (I do have a couple of other things that you might try, depending on how those things turned out.)
