 +====== DRAWBOT ======
 +
 +there are three repos needed to get this going
 +  * GRBL [[https://git.telavivmakers.space/yair/grbl|git]] - the firmware running on the arduino+grbl shield
 +  * drawbot_LY [[https://git.telavivmakers.space/yair/drawbot_LY|git]] - the Inkscape extension that converts vector to gcode
 +  * Universal gcode sender- this [[https://universalgcodesender.com/|java app]] loads the gcode above and sends the gcode commands one by one to the Arduino over serial. 
 +
 +the above fork of GRBL has been adapted to make servo handling easier (check commits). \\
 +there are also EEPROM kept states that need to be adapted to our machine. \\  
 +  - enabling of homing sequence (the [[https://he.aliexpress.com/item/1005005888174412.html|machine]] did not come with limit switches)
 +  - adapting the number of steps per millimeter for x/y
 +  - keeping steppers motorized ''$1=255'' (thanks paul)
 +
 +the drawbot Inkscape extension also got some love, with a few fixes. notably, disregarding hidden layers, addition of x/y offset control.
