This blog has documented my personal experience with X-Y Plotters. I’ve used tons of open source resources to complete this project. In case you get stuck at any point of the project, do contact me through my website. It’ll be one of a kind initiative by any college in India.

Being an engineering college boosting an engineering project which will not only help to make the teaching methodology more advanced but also reduce the paper wastage.

All you need to do is click your photo and import it into the software. I mean just imagine a robot drawing your portrait.

Apart from being used for educational purposes and reducing paper wastage, Polargraph can also be great fun.

Polargraph with a whiteboard is a really cheap solution.

During the different fests and events in the college, a lot of paper is wasted for making announcements.

(Refer to technical details column in the project proposal)

And the maximum area on which it can draw is not limited by the software but by the length of the chord. Because of its universal design, it can be attached to any vertical surface, even walls.A ₹30 rupee whiteboard marker, that’s it. All you need to do is replace the marker once in a while. Polargraph can be a very innovative and cost-effective step. As per the orders from the higher authority to make the campus greener. And being a technical college this can be one of a kind solution to this problem. There are lots of temporary announcements which are made day to day on the department notice board, wasting lots of paper.The whole concept is to make it universal and easy to use. All you need to do is import an image file into the software and click “Draw”. Apart from being compact, it is also very easy to use.It draws with a great accuracy and helps understand the diagram even to the backbenchers.

Polargraph is a portable solution to this problem. Drawing the circuits in the lecture or the tutorials is time-consuming and even it ends up being messy.The Polargraph has a flexible geometry which means it can be attached to any vertical wall and any complex geometry or schematic can be drawn neatly taking lesser time than the usual methods.Like once the radius is fixed and then using servo motors it uses shades along different angles (0 to 90) The angle of each cord is controlled by the length of both cords, rather than by specifying angle and distance as in with a true polar coordinate. It actually double-triangulation coordinate system.

A Polargraph machine is a simple device, that draws a picture using a normal pen, some motors and some string.

Well, that wasn’t a problem as long as you know CAD, oh wait, I know CAD.īroad features of exhibit and demonstration: Almost all the XY Plotters people around the globe have worked with are horizontal, but I rather need a vertical one to solve this problem.Īfter weeks of research, I found that there are some people who have actually worked on such wall drawing robots but their applications were completely different than what I wanted, which meant the design what not reproducible for my purpose. Now, this can be done by an XY Plotter and a software which can convert any image to a g-code file which is readable by the firmware on the microcontroller. It was then I started thinking what if there is a robot which cannot only draw complex circuits but also each and every biological diagrams neatly. Whenever he drew a bit complex circuit, it used to become messy. This happened again and again in the subsequent classes. As the class progressed the blackboard got messier and the circuits were unreadable. My Electronic Sciences professor was teaching the basics of 3 phase diagram.
