#PenPlotter maintenance today. My HP 7585B stopped responding over RS-232. Diagnostics revealed a problem with the interface card. Luckily I have a spare machine that can donate a new working card!
And it works! Here’s a video of the HP 7585B #PenPlotter plotting a big arc Truchet tile design using three colors (yellow, cyan, and magenta) on 11x15 watercolor. Total time 1h15m.
Video montage of a HP 7585 #PenPlotter plotting a design of large concentric arcs broken up by squares in cyan, yellow, and magenta. It performs tool changes to swap pens automatically.
Had a draining week, mind was fried... Finally found two hours of flow Sunday evening! Used it to generate lots and lots of small rectangles. Loosely inspired by Aiyu's 'Memory Flow' on fx(hash).
Or is it Voyager's hull plating after a particularly rough patch in the Delta Quadrant?
Take two is a big improvement. I disabled all optimizations, so it draws the lines in a predictable order removing previous discontinuities. #penplotter#CreativeCoding#axidraw#openrndr
First time I use this brush/pen. Probably the highest contrast plot so far. I like how lines become thin and thick due to paper bulging when it gets wet with ink #penplotter#MastoArt
