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
