Web interface
The most easy way to get a vector file plotted is to use the web interface ‘saxi’. You could install this on your own machine and connect the plotter via USB to your computer. But we’ve provided a Raspberry Pi which is connected to the plotter, has Saxi installed and has its own network.
Steps
- Connect to the
eduroam-2.4
wifi network - Open a browser and go to http://harryplotter.technet.howest.be:9080/
- Drag your SVG file on te canvas
- Adjust settings if needed
- Align the paper, fix it in place with some magnets (check if they aren’t in the path of the plotter)
- Click the ‘pen up’ button, the penclip should be raised up then.
- Mount the pen, make sure its point is hovering a couple of millimeters above the paper
- Plot!
