├── lib/
│ ├── WallPlotter.js # library
│ └── README.md # public API
└── examples/

```
## Run the example
Chrome or Edge. Serve over localhost (Web Serial does not work from `file://`).
```bash
cd p5-wallplotter
python -m http.server 8080
```
Open http://localhost:8080/examples/zickzack/
Press **C** to connect, **H** to set home, then **Test** (preview) or **Plot** (send G-code).
## Use in a sketch
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@1.11.3/lib/p5.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../lib/WallPlotter.js"></script>
<script src="sketch.js"></script>
```
```javascript
let wp;
function setup() {
createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight).parent('sketch-host');
wp = new WallPlotter();
wp.setSpeed(3000, 1500);
wp.enableKeyInputs();
wp.enablePlotButtons();
}
function draw() {
background(28, 28, 32);
wp.showInfos();
}
async function plot() {
await drawArt(false);
}
async function test() {
await drawArt(true);
}
async function drawArt(testOnly) {
wp.startPath();
wp.move(-200, -200);
wp.draw(200, -200);
await wp.runPath(testOnly);
}
```
Full API: [lib/README.md](lib/README.md).
Baud **115200**. Pen servo: `M280 P0 S90` up, `M280 P0 S50` down. Coordinates in mm, origin at home (`G92`).

# WallPlotter library
p5 helper for a Marlin polargraph over Web Serial. Coordinates are **mm**. Origin is machine home (`G92`). Y positive is up. Chrome or Edge, page on localhost or HTTPS.
Load from this package:
```html
<script src="../../lib/WallPlotter.js"></script>
```
Example sketch: `examples/zickzack/`.

| `feedRateTravel` | `1500` | Pen-up speed, **mm/min** (G-code `F`) |
| `feedRateDraw` | `300` | Pen-down speed, **mm/min** |
| `penUpGcode` | `M280 P0 S90` | Command to lift pen |
| `penDownGcode` | `M280 P0 S50` | Command to lower pen |
| `penUpDelayMs` | `150` | Pause after pen up, ms |
| `penDownDelayMs` | `50` | Pause after pen down, ms |
| `machineXMin` / `machineXMax` | `-850` / `850` | Overlay X extents, mm |
| `machineYMin` / `machineYMax` | `-1000` / `1000` | Overlay Y extents, mm |
| `jogIntervalMs` | `150` | Repeat delay while holding arrows, ms |
| `maxLogLines` | `8` | Serial lines shown on the HUD |
| `previewMinDelayMs` | `30` | Floor for preview segment wait, ms |
| `previewFrameMs` | `16` | Preview animation frame time, ms |
| `timingMultiplier` | `1` | Scale **Test** preview waits (`2` = twice as slow) |
| `onLog(line)` | no-op | Extra callback for each log line |
| `onStatusChange(status)` | no-op | `'connected'` or `'disconnected'` |
---
## Setup / UI
### `enableKeyInputs()`
Keyboard controls. Call from `setup()`. No arguments.
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `C` | Connect / disconnect |
| `H` | Set home here (`G92 X0 Y0`) — required before Plot |
| `0` | Travel to `(0, 0)` |
| `P` | Toggle pen |
| `← → ↑ ↓` | Jog one step, pen up |
| `Shift + arrows` | Jog one step, pen down |
| `+` / `-` | Jog step size 1–100 mm |
| `L` `R` `T` `B` | Mark left / right / top / bottom bound at current position |
### `enablePlotButtons(options?)`
Adds Plot and Test buttons. Expects global `plot()` and `test()` in the sketch.
| Option | Default | What it is |
|--------|---------|------------|
| `parentId` | `'wallplotter-controls'` | DOM id for the button row |
| `plotLabel` | `'Plot'` | Plot button text |
| `testLabel` | `'Test'` | Test button text |
| `stopLabel` | `'Stop'` | Test button while a test is running |
### `showInfos()`
Draw HUD, path preview, bounds, and key help. Call every frame from `draw()`. Also runs held-arrow jogging when keys are enabled.
---
## Speed
### `setSpeed(travel, draw)`
Feed rates in **mm/min**. Used as G-code `F` and for Test preview timing. Clamped to **1–10000**.
- `travel` (number): pen-up / `move()` speed. Or `{ travel, draw }`.
- `draw` (number, optional): pen-down / `draw()` speed. Omit to leave draw rate unchanged.
Practical range about **100–10000**. Values above **10000** are clamped. Do not use `0`.
```javascript
wp.setSpeed(6000, 2500);
wp.setSpeed({ travel: 6000, draw: 2500 });
```
### `setTimingMultiplier(mult)`
Scales **Test** preview waits only. Plot is paced by Marlin (`ok` + `M400`).
- `mult` (number): `1` = match `setSpeed` estimate, `2` = twice as slow, `0.5` = twice as fast. Clamped to ≥ `0.1`.
---
## Path (buffered drawing)
`move` / `draw` / `wait` / `speed` only **queue**. Nothing is sent until `runPath`.
### `startPath()`
Clear the path buffer. Returns `this`.
### `move(x, y)`
Queue pen-up travel to `(x, y)` mm. Returns `this`.
### `draw(x, y)`
Queue pen-down stroke to `(x, y)` mm. Returns `this`.
### `wait(ms)`
Queue a pause. `ms` is milliseconds. On Plot, sends `G4 P<ms>`. Returns `this`.
### `speed(travel, drawRate)`
Queue a mid-path speed change (mm/min, clamped 1–10000). Either argument may be omitted. Restored after `runPath`. Returns `this`.
### `runPath(testOnly)` / `runPath(commands, testOnly?)`
Run the path. **async**.
- `testOnly` (boolean): `true` = preview only, no serial. `false` = send G-code. Home must be set for Plot.
- `commands` (array, optional): explicit list instead of the `startPath()` buffer.
Plot: wait for Marlin `ok`, then `M400` (move finished). Test: animate using distance / `setSpeed` × `timingMultiplier`.
```javascript
wp.startPath();
wp.move(-200, -200);
wp.draw(200, -200);
wp.wait(500);
await wp.runPath(false); // plot
await wp.runPath(true); // test
```
Sketch: `plot()` → `runPath(false)`, `test()` → `runPath(true)`.
### `estimatePathMs(commands?)`
Returns estimated duration in **milliseconds** for the current path buffer, or for `commands` if given. Uses `setSpeed`, queued `speed()`, `wait()`, and `timingMultiplier`. The HUD shows elapsed / est / remain while plotting.
### `stopPath()`
Abort the current `runPath`. No arguments.
---
## Serial / machine
All **async**. Coordinate moves on Plot require home (`H`) first.
### `connect()`
Web Serial port picker, enable steppers (`M17`), pen up, `M114`.
### `disconnect()`
Close the serial port.
### `send(line, options?)`
Write one G-code line and wait for Marlin `ok`.
- `line` (string): command without newline, e.g. `'M114'`.
- `options.allowWithoutHome` (boolean): allow `G0`/`G1` before home. Default `false`.
- `options.waitOk` (boolean): wait for `ok`. Default `true`.
- `options.timeoutMs` (number): `ok` timeout, default `300000`.
### `penUp()` / `penDown()`
Send pen G-code and wait the pen delay. No-op if already in that state.
### `moveTo(x, y)`
Pen up, travel to `(x, y)` mm immediately (not queued). Requires home.
### `drawTo(x, y)`
Pen down, draw to `(x, y)` mm immediately. Requires home.
### `goToZero()`
`moveTo(0, 0)`.
### `step(dx, dy, draw?)`
Relative move in mm.
- `dx`, `dy` (number): delta mm
- `draw` (boolean, default `false`): `true` → `drawTo`, else `moveTo`
### `setHomeHere()`
`G92 X0 Y0`. Sets local `x,y` to 0 and marks home as set.
