Public Member Functions
void	begin ()
	Initialize the EiBotBoard interface. This must be called to set up the interface. Default communication interface is Serial.
void	begin (usb_serial_class *target_usb_serial)
	Initialize the EiBotBoard interface with a specified communication interface.
void	set_ratio_xy (float output_units_mm, float input_units_steps)
	Set the conversion ratio between XY steps and millimeters.
void	set_ratio_z (float output_units_mm, float input_units_steps)
	Set the conversion ratio between Z steps and millimeters.

Public Attributes
BlockPort &	output_x = target_interpolator.output_x
	BlockPort for X axis output. Use this to map to downstream components to drive position based on the EiBotBoard x-axis position data.
BlockPort &	output_y = target_interpolator.output_y
	BlockPort for Y axis output. Use this to map to downstream components to drive position based on the EiBotBoard y-axis position data.
BlockPort &	output_z = target_interpolator.output_z
	BlockPort for Z axis output. Use this to map to downstream components to drive position based on the EiBotBoard z-axis position data.

Detailed Description

Enables using Axidraw commands from over serial as motion stream input.

The Eibotboard class emulates the Axidraw EiBotBoard interface, allowing standard AxiDraw workflows to provide direct input. It processes serial commands sent over the axidraw inteface (e.g. from Inkscape or from the AxiDraw Python library), to generate motion streams corresponding to the geometry of input SVG drawings. To use with Inkscape, select the "AxiDraw Control" extension and set the output port to the serial port connected to the StepDance controller running this interface.

For an example of how to use this class, see axidraw_interface/axidraw_interface.ino
