Makelangelo 3 Rotating images

[Anonymous]

When I send an image to the Makelangelo 3 it appears that the image is oriented correctly on the computer screen but the makelangelo draws the image rotated counter clock wise 90 degrees. When I ask for the pen holder to go to the bottom right it moves to the top right.

I have tried swapping where the servos are plugged in but had no success.

any ideas.

thanks.

One of your steppers is wired backwards.
In “jog motors” there is an “invert” option.

Left in should make the pen holder move towards the left motor.
Right in should do the same for the right motor.

Does that help?

It did help me figure out the problem. Apparently I misunderstood which motor was attached to which side on the Rumba. I switched them and now it is drawing it’s first real image.

Thanks for your help.
