Chelonograph

This is the documentation section [1] for the Chelonograph - a custom built flatbed pen-plotter at the AlICe laboratory. The best place to start is the Tutorial : a step-by-step lessons to make your first plot of a single layer SVG file. Later, make use of the How-to Guide in order to learn about the tasks necessary to plot more elaborate drawings.

Check the Reference Guide which holds technical information and descriptions about the machinery and the software you interact with when plotting. Deepen some topics in the Explanation section to have a clarifying overview surrounding a gcode powered plotter.
