Thing-a-Day 2011 #2 - New features for inkscape-unicorn: pen registration and homing support

This post used to be on Posterous. I rescued my posts before Posterous shut down and am now sharing them here.

Today I made some improvements to the inkscape-unicorn plotter extension that I released yesterday.

Inkscape-unicorn-reg-and-homing

Specifically, I've added two things:

  • The option to do a pen-registration check at the beginning of each plot, taken from mifga's original.
  • The option to set where "home" is, for people who like to start their plots with the platform anywhere other than in the center.

This should help make some nice plots!
