Command Line Usage

The main way to use AxiBot is the axibot command-line utility. Some examples are shown here. You can also see the utility itself for more info:

$ axibot -h

Manual Control

Issue single manual commands:

$ axibot manual pen_up 1000
$ axibot manual disable_motors

Enter a shell to use the same commands:

$ axibot manual
(axibot) pen_down 1000
(axibot) xy_move 400 400 100

File Estimation

Print info about the motion plan that would be used to plot an SVG file:

$ axibot info examples/worldmap.svg

Plotting

Actually plot an SVG file:

$ axibot plot examples/worldmap.svg

By default, this will use an interface interface to prompt certain user actions.

Web Server

To start a webserver for remote control of the AxiDraw:

$ axibot server
