MECHANISM -XY PLOTTER

Based on the program written and with the help of servo motors and arduino mega,the plotter moves along x and y axis. The plotter is made to move along x and y axis using plain shaft with slider , threaded shaft with coupling and nuts.

  • Coding software-c or c++
  • Processor-Arduino mega
  • Motor-Servo motor , Stepper motor
