Abstract
Pen Plotters (also called XY plotters) are a 2D CNC graphic plotting
machines. This paper looks at a pen plotter machines that can take
a picture in any extension and convert it into a drawable shape using
image processing techniques, it then plots it on a canvas. Processing is
done through a full software pipeline using modern technologies that
can work on mobile and web, the pipeline is served using a Raspberry
pi.
The drawing part consists of two stepper motors and one servo
motor connected to an Arduino Uno. The motors control the movement
of a gondola placed on top of stainless steel rods to achieve a
movement along the X and Y axes, where at on end of the Y axis, a
drawing device is mounted.
