No need for the QextSeriallibrary any more. The communication is now event-based and not polling-based what reduces cpu-usage enormously. -Support for Multilayered Prints: name your layers : <PictureName>_1.gcode <PictureName>_2.gcode ... After each layer you will be promted to change the pen for the next layer. Just press OK and it will automatically load the next layer and start printing. In the end you will be asked if you want to restart the print. -persistence of loaded file and connected port -General improvements and Bugfixes -Optimisations of the firmware -The attached Version of inkscape portable already comes with the needed eggbot-extensions installed. Simply run inkscape.exe HOW TO: 1.) Upload the Arduino sketch. (I have added an additional multiplicator to the y-Step calculation to match my spherebot to the unicorn-script coordinates. You will maybe have to do the same adjustment for your Spherebot) (You will also have to redefine your pins accordingly to your electronics design) 2.) Start the Spherebot-UI.exe int the /bin folder and connect to your Arduino Warning for custom Firmwares: The send file function will only work if the arduino answers each sent command with a message that contains "ok:" so that the next command is sent. PS:Have fun with it ;)
