mDrawBot - mScara, drawing issues

#1

Hey there,
I’ve just assembled the mScara drawing robot. So far i got it running with the drawing software, but the results are pretty poor.

Here are my questions:

  1. since there is nothing to be found in the documentation, which one of the stepper motors is motor 1 and 2?

  2. is there a good standard procedure to calibrate the robot or what should be done before/at start up?
    -meassuring the arms length
    -positioning of the arm
    -others???

  3. are there other things to consider to improve drawing performance?

  4. the representation of the “virtual” robot arm in the software and the “real” robot arm does not correspond with each other. Is this a known issue or is it a problem of my own system?
