Today I got a call from Mike with some questions about the Makelangelo. He mentioned David Bynoe’s Four Cable Drawing Machine (above). David has been making amazing art in Calgary, Canada, for some time now. Looking through his other videos I realized I’ve talked to David anonymously in other message boards. Small world, hey? Hi, David! Love your work.
GCodeSender has been updated from v0 to v1.
The arduino serial window is great if all you want to do is send a few lines of text. GCodeSender started as a tool to send whole files of instructions, one line at a time. All the Arduino has to do is send “>” (without the quotes) to signal that it is ready for the next line.
I’ve just added a new command line and a send button so that it more closely matches the Arduino Serial Window. Think of it as “Arduino Serial Window++”.
Anyone care to add a history of recent commands sent? That would save a lot of typing.
Thanks to Solidworks for donating a copy of their software to the Vancouver Hack Space! I’ve been using the program to model all my parts and now I’ve learned to make exploded diagrams of assemblies and sub-assemblies.

I think that’s a wrap! No hardware revisions for at least 6 months because I want to build community and get this machine into schools. From here out it’s software, new tools to go on the finger, and demos of what this thing can do and is good for.
