Drive an XY robot with Raspberry Pi 4 and Python

2021/01/26 categories:Python| tags:Python|PyQt5|G code|Raspberry Pi|

I tried to move the XY robot using the Generate pulse arrays from G code and drive stepping motors with Raspberry Pi program.

Test robot

The robot used for the test is an XY direct robot that uses a timing belt and a stepping motor.
