When a technology is new, there is usually a “Cambrian Explosion” in which people and companies try to use it in many different ways. Then the technology matures, only a few use cases remain and the rest is forgotten.
So in the 1980s, when devices with microprocessors were the first time cheap enough for everyone, there were “typewriters” that actually were plotters (https://biosrhythm.com/?p=2143) and could be used to write text as well as to draw diagrams.

I did benchmark a function in Julia with BechmarkTools, so JIT compilation is not the problem here.
I only need a good plotting library now in Rust. Don't get me wrong, #plotters is nice, but it needs more love :blobcattilt:

The Mirror Moment in Fiction: A Midpoint Method for Plotters and Pantsers
Note From KMW: One of the first writing teachers I remember learning from was James Scott Bell. When I started religiously reading the Writer’s Digest magazine as a young writer, Jim’s regular column always spoke to me. He had a knack for naming high-concept ideas in a way that always felt accessible and practicable. Years […]

@tca 3D-printed adapters for plotters are an important achievement. I've designed adapters for current Axidraws and historic Mutoh scribers for Muji pens and fat Eddings and plotted with them within an hour.

@polpo @mediaarchaeologylab When I was at UCLA we needed a feedback system to control the output of a CO2 laser. Using parts on hand we grabbed a plotter. We duct-taped one end of a ruler to the print head and the other end to a the knob on the top of a rheostat that adjusted the laser output. It worked, although we ended up burning out several plotters.

Soo… I bought another plotter. It was close by, dirt cheap, and came with some other goodies I’ll share later.
On power up, the pen carriage homes all the way to the right, but never stops. I don’t see any limit switches, and it goes on for much longer than it would take to do the entire travel.
There’s this flywheel looking thing labeled Ferrofluidics corp, which looks suspiciously fancy (it’s got a serial number).
The stepper motor has 8 wires.
So.. what gives? Anyone know how a mechanism like this would have homed itself, or what that mysterious blue object is?
It’s an intriguing mystery… plus I’d love to actually get this working; it’s a nice medium size between my other two plotters.
