In this paper, machine which has been
Ankit Mhatre developed has three motors which includes
Anantkumar Sharma two stepper motors whose function is to
divide full rotation into a number of equal
steps for XY plane and one servo motor
which acts as an angle precision tool for
adjusting the pen. Motor drivers (are used
to control the motion of the stepper motors
and Microcontroller is used for controlling
servo motor.
