OVERVIEW

In this project, we have made a CNC plotter. It is able to draw complex line drawings. CNC stands for Computer Numeric Control and typically refers to a machine whose operation is controlled by a computer. The coordinates are uploaded to the machine controller by a separate program. The image file is transformed into G-code via Inkscape. Then the code is transferred to the microcontroller by which the motor mechanism is instructed to draw the image. The machine has two motors to implement the X and Y-axis. A server motor is used along the Z-axis for positioning the pen.
