Update MDraw

#1

Is there any way to update the MDraw software so I can see exactly what command it send the plotter at all times?

Thanks for the feedback, we will forward that to software team.
Do you want the mDraw can show all commands after each operation like gremote?

Hi.
I never managed to get Gremote working (on Mac) so I’m not sure how this works.
I actually managed to get MDraw to report the commands by telling the firmware to echo all commands received back to mdraw. I put Serial.print("M11 "); before each command as looking through python I could see that the console in MDraw prints any commands that have “M11” at the start.
The reason I wanted to do this was to see how MDraw handles curves and circles - it appears that it just approximates these as lots of straight lines - can you confirm if this is the case.
From what I can see a circle is just plotted with a list of the G1 X# Y# A0 commands - in this case it is just lots of straight lines?
Thanks

It can draw circle and curve. You can make some svg picture to have a try.
