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

Islamic Geometric Art (Design #30 from Anadolu Selçuklu Sanatinin Geometrik Dili)
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.

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

An intro to Pen Plotters (2019)
+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

I have made and exported SVGs from turtletoy. I've also written some SVG export stuff in Makelangelo software.

Generate Gcode form complex SVG
Makelangelo software loads a lot of SVG and can output Gcode for plotters. Try the latest nightly build: https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Makelangelo-software/releases/tag/Nightly

What tools / environment do you use for robot control UIs?
I use Java with IntelliJ. I used it for Makelangelo Software and I used it for Robot Overlord. I like that it's cross platform and I love how comfortable I am with the language. Technology is fast and people are slow... I've been doing this since before ROS/Unity. To switch now sounds painful. Still... I'm trying to learn Unity and it has some fun features.

Community projects/collaboration?
doh, forgot to link: https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Robot-Overlord-App/ is the big one I want to collab with others. https://github.com/marginallyclever/makelangelo-software/ for plotters is already taking off and doesn't need me to push it out of the nest any more.

Moving project from java 8 to 15, now I get findException with an strange module name. why?
I have two projects that I've been moving from java 8 to java 15. The first, https://github.com/marginallyclever/makelangelo-software/, has moved with minimal fuss. The second, https://github.com/marginallyclever/Robot-overlord-app, set up in the same way (maven) with as few changes in structure as possible... won't debug. The exact error is
