Today I rebuilt a spot micro simulation in Robot Overlord
There's a github package that already has a bunch of arms (https://github.com/MarginallyClever/robotOverlordArms/). Probably a good way to DIY is to take one of them and tweak it until it looks like yours (replace the model files, adjust the DH parameters). It knows how to talk to Marlin 3D printer firmware, which can be used as a 6 axis controller for a robot arm (https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Marlin-polargraph/tree/sixi3). all you have to do is configure the gear ratios, the stepper pins, and it should be good to go. Then in the app you can connect and any change to the sim will be duplicated on the live robot.

analog limit switches? where to start?
i'm making a polargraph based on marlin firmware (https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Marlin-polargraph/) but my design can't really use limit switches, so i'm working on an idea that uses analog IR sensors looking for a black bead in the chain. testing the sensors show that they pretty reliably return ~450-~650 on the white beads, and 700+ on the black bead. is that enough discrepancy to use as a limit switch? i've never tried to use an analog sensor as a limit switch before.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Arduino-Plotter and Marlin you can also consider the following projects:
Makelangelo-software - Software for plotters - especially the wall-hanging polargraph also called Makelangelo.
robotOverlordArms - Robot arms supported in Robot Overlord app
Drawpile - A collaborative drawing program
LibreCAD - LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program written in C++17. It can read DXF/DWG files and can write DXF/PDF/SVG files. It supports point/line/circle/ellipse/parabola/spline primitives. The user interface is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations.
