AMaDiA VS saxi

Here is the link to the calculator: https://github.com/AstusRush/AMaDiA It also includes the chat (my first program) though that chat desperately needs an update since I have not really touched it since the course in which I wrote it (that was 3 years ago)

#1: I made a scientific calculator in python. It is my first program but in the past 8 months I have already put 600+ hours into the program and am eager for some feedback! | 22 comments #2: Rich. A batteries included terminal rendering library, supports markdown, syntax, progress bars and more | 13 comments #3: I made a Python bot that scrapes Udemy Coupons and then AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLS YOU to those PAID COURSES for FREE. Check out the GitHub below to get the code! :) | 17 comments

I use an opensource tool called Saxi to interface with the plotter. It's super easy! https://github.com/nornagon/saxi

The basics: I generated this plot via a program I wrote. That program was written in Javascript, using the p5.js library for drawing lines and stuff, and canvas-sketch to generate the SVG for plotting. I passed the SVG through vpype to merge & sort the lines, and then connected to the AxiDraw using saxi. Not knowing where you're at, those are a good choice to get started—Javascript is an okay language, and p5.js is really good for just getting stuff appearing on the page. And you can just start with the first 2, and add vpype and saxi later.

A raspberry pi to run a little server running https://github.com/nornagon/saxi is something I personally use all the time.

+1 for the AxiDraw. The author does link to this page: https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters which has some good AxiDraw resources.

I became much happier with my setup when I switched to running the AxiDraw from a Raspberry Pi using Saxi: https://github.com/nornagon/saxi
