This software is provided to control the Original Egg-Bot, by Evil Mad Scientist.
More information at http://egg-bot.com

The software is designed as a set of extensions to Inkscape, and includes the software that actually drives the robot, as well as a number of extensions that help with making vector art for the EggBot.

Also available -- included with installers or as a separate download -- over 100 example files in our sample set.

Changes in this version:

• Primary change: Resolution for issue #31, MacOS X USB difficulties under El Capitan (10.11 & 10.11.1)
• Close issue #17, updating pyserial to version 2.7.0.
• Close issue #18, adding support for multiple motor resolutions. The new file "eggbot_conf.py" may now be manually edited to account for EggBot derivatives, clones and other edge cases that have a different number of steps per revolution.

INSTALLATION:

All users: You must have Inkscape installed on your computer, prior to installing the software. Download Inkscape from inkscape.org.

Important note: Inkscape version 0.91.0 or newer is required.
(If you must use an older version of Inkscape, such as 0.48.5, please instead install EggBot software version v2.4.0.)

Mac users: Download and run the Mac installer: EggBot2.6.3.r1s.mpkg.zip

Windows users: We recommend that you download and run the Windows installer from the previous release, EggBot_250A.exe.

If you have a specific reason to run this version, you can install the extensions manually. Download EggBot_extensions_v263_pys27.zip, and use the files there to replace those on your system.

Linux users: Download and extract EggBot_extensions_v263_pys27.zip. Copy the contents of the "extensions" directory to: .config/inkscape/extensions/ Optionally, download the example files set as well.
