My #genuary will be made with #penplotter and most of them will be also interactive streams (participate in real time with the robot). Next session planned tomorrow ~4PM CET with Made in 10 minutes + Glitch Art + Intersections 🤞 hope it will be interesting enough.
Other sessions may be on Saturdays at 7 or 8 AM CET easier to reach non european timezone. continuing with other genuary days.
Each output will be truly generative in that I can't even predict what's going to happen as the inputs will come from the chat!

We'll lag by few days & may try again the same generator over the days too, because there are always different inputs (based on amount of people on the chat) as well as different physical constraints to test (different pen, paper and color choices,...)
so exciting!

Welcoming another Penman #penplotter turtle home. Hope to learn how to repair these and get them working again. Many thanks to @Retro_CAD for this one! #plottertwitter #RetroComputing 
Here’s a video of a Penman plotter in working order.
The new Penman fails to detect the page edges during a home cycle. Without this, it can’t begin a plot correctly. Edges are detected through two small slots on either side of the turtle with an IR emitter and receiver pair. Black paper is recommended to increase edge contrast.

Box fitting, white gel pen on black paper. I need to find a better way to pause/resume plots #plottertwitter
