    What you really need is a turtle graphics emulator that accepts G-code commands, but I don't know if one exists. It shouldn't be too difficult to write one. Pen plotters used something similar to G-code, called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language). There are some interesting resources on Awesome Plotters.

    +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
