yaxb_calc

Polar wall plotter calculation and analysis tools.

These tools allow users to simulate the result of changing polar wall plotter workspace and machine parameters.

yaxb_simulate

Detemrine the optimal canvas location in a workspace.

• Green -> valid belt tension locations
• Red -> belt tension above maximum (motors will overtorque in this region)
• Blue -> horizontal component of belt tension below minimum (gondola will oscillate in this region due to poor horizontal constraint)
• Black border -> tallest valid tension region that is of the specified canvas width

yaxb_movement

Determine the cartesian path through the field of polar positions.

• Green -> valid belt tension locations
• Red -> belt tension above maximum (motors will overtorque in this region)
• Blue -> horizontal component of belt tension below minimum (gondola will oscillate in this region due to poor horizontal constraint)
• Teal -> positions considered when making the movement
• Purple -> positions considered and chosen when making the movement
