Set maximum speed #38

Closed tkornack closed 7 years ago

tkornack commented 7 years ago

With my ballpoint pen, most curved lines plot nicely but long lines go too fast and are not well inked. Is there a way to set a maximum speed (perhaps for lengths greater than a few mm)?

storborg commented 7 years ago

Right now the only way to do that is by manually updating the SPEED_PEN_DOWN value in axibot.config. #4 is the general ticket for better handling of updating config variables.

The values right now are more or less optimized for fine-tip roller ball pens, like the Pilot Precise V5 (0.5mm) or the Uniball Vision Stick Needle.

I'm closing this since it's kind of a dupe of #4.
