GEARS and Machine Science make programmable X-Y plotting machine.

June 10, 2011 at 4:19 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

This X-Y plotter was built entirely out of stock components from GEARS Educational Systems. The motor positions are encoded using Machine Science’s infrared reflectance sensors. The motors are controlled using three XIPMods: the High-Current Motor Module, a Master Module, and an Input/Output Module. The plotter can be driven by infrared remote control, or programmed to automatically draw circles, sine waves, parabolas, and other curves.
