The AxiDraw software simply plots out an SVG file, but SVG isn’t quite so natively supported on iPadOS. Fortunately, EMSL provide command line software that can be run from almost any Unix-like device, and any number of computers will work (the Raspberry Pi is apparently a popular option for this) - I ended repurposing an older networked machine. The AxiDraw is meant to be controlled from a connected USB cord, and documented to use Inkscape, so I needed another device that would be wired to it that communicates with the iPad. But doing so from an iPad? That’s the challenge.
A post shared by Padcrafter the machine is pretty simple – it can hold a pen (or any object in the shape of a pen), and you send it instructions to move it.
