||
```html
|
||
<script src="../../lib/WallPlotter.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Example sketch: `examples/zickzack/`.

|
||
## 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 |
|
||
|
||
### `enablePlotButtons(options?)`
|
||
|
||
Adds Connect, Plot, and Test buttons. Expects global `plot()` and `test()` in the sketch.
|
||
|
||
**Connect** is shown only while disconnected (same as key **C**). While a path is running, Plot becomes **Pause**; while paused it becomes **Resume**. Test becomes **Stop** during a test.
|
||
|
||
| Option | Default | What it is |
|
||
|--------|---------|------------|
|
||
| `parentId` | `'wallplotter-controls'` | DOM id for the button row |
|
||
| `connectLabel` | `'Connect'` | Connect button text |
|
||
| `plotLabel` | `'Plot'` | Plot button text when idle |
|
||
| `pauseLabel` | `'Pause'` | Plot button while a path is running |
|
||
| `resumeLabel` | `'Resume'` | Plot button while paused |
|
||
| `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()` / `stopPlot()`
|
||
|
||
`stopPath()` aborts the current `runPath` and unblocks any wait for Marlin `ok`.
|
||
|
||
`stopPlot()` first press is the same as **Pause**: finish the current stroke, then **Resume** continues. Second press stops the browser from sending more moves. The **in-flight** `G1` still runs — this firmware does not have `EMERGENCY_PARSER`, so `M410` cannot interrupt motion (and on a polargraph it desyncs belts). Unplug power for a hard stop.
|
||
|
||
### `pausePlot()` / `resumePlot()`
|
||
|
||
**Pause** / first **Stop** wait for the current segment to finish (`M400`), then lift the pen. Do not resume after emergency stop until you re-home. Elapsed / remaining HUD time freezes while paused.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Serial / machine
|
||
|
||
All **async**. Coordinate moves on Plot require home (`H`) first.
|
||
|
||
### `connect()`
|
||
|
||
Web Serial port picker, enable steppers (`M17`), pen up, query polargraph area (`M665` → machine overlay bounds), `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 **15000**. `M400` / `G4` use a longer timeout based on the move or dwell. After 1s with no `ok`, the log shows `waiting for Marlin ok` and the HUD says **Waiting for plotter…**. During a plot, a timeout **pauses** so **Resume** can continue; **S** / Stop does the same.
|
||
|
||
### `penUp(force?)` / `penDown(force?)`
|
||
|
||
Send pen G-code and wait the pen delay. By default, no-op if already in that state. Pass `true` to always send (used by `P` and on connect) so you can test the configured angles.
|
||
|
||
### `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.
