@seromo.... You have a good question (and possible great feature request)... There are a couple of C# programmers on the forum that have the skills to possibly make a "drawing" plugin for ARC that would make it easy to draw shapes and letters.... You never know....

Thanks

I think what would be needed would be to generate a library of fundamental shapes. Circle, square, line, arc, etc. This would be numerically based using formulas for deriving those shapes. There are any number of such formulas out there and the Script language has a number of standard functions that would be usable for such an implementation. Especially those concerned with radian functions.

So it should be possible to do it within the Script language itself. In any event it seems like an interesting problem so I believe I'll look into it. May need to add a rotor to the claw though, we'll see.

okay i see this is hard to do so i will try but i see its pretty hard but thanks for all your help

Ha, that's an ironic question. I was making jd write his name on a pad of paper the other day. Used the auto position. You can do anything with the Auto Position - and with patience, you won't need anyone to "make the code for you". Simply do it yourself with the auto position. That's the awesome part of ezrobot, learning to do things yourself - and it's easy!

That's a neat. I could see designing a 3d printed clip for the hand to help hold a marker and maybe a sensor to help judge distance from the pen to the paper.

I could also see creating an auto-position for each letter/number and then either a good (if complex) script or maybe a plugin to take entered words and sequence the auto-positions to write the words out. Trick would be making sure that each letter doesn't over-write the previous one. Easiest would probably be to just have JD take a step to the right after each letter, since the auto-positions would not have an easy way to vary the initial position based on where they are in the word.

Or just buy a printer...

There are many different drawing robots out there with as many different methods to achieve it. With JD the AutoPosition is most likely the easiest even if it is time consuming.

Using JDs camera you could, with a little coding, avoid over-writing.
