Post fail in the norwegian pixel

🙂 hello folks, first i wanna say i have really enjoyed the drawing machine for quite a few months.And here is the two machine i have made:Image.
Recently i tried to draw the norwegian pixel,but didnt get it.The firmware and controller are all from Polargrah 1.10.6 .The firmware is exactly the polargraph_server_mega .I have read sandy's tutorial about the norwegian piexl http://www.polargraph.co.uk/2012/08/norwegian-pixel/ and follow it .The motor drivers are easydriver and i can run it very well by controlling the machine just on the controller, so i do think there is no errors in my drivers.And i can also run it from SD card , i have succeeded in the square wave style,so i think my SD is also okay.I converted the jpg file into pbm file on Photoshop,but didnt seem to work, it is still color style.And i also found some pgm source and put the file into the SD card, it didnt work.So i think maybe the file must be pbm and converted the pgm file into pbm on Photoshop.Im sorry still no action when hitting the trace online tap.Can you give me some advice ,folks ? 😕 By the way ,there is a "set roving area" on sandy's tutorial and i guess it is "send roving area" in the Polargrah 1.10.6.

Hi, looking good! The best way to see what's up is to open the debugging console with ctrl+c in the controller. Then you get to see the raw communications between the controller and the machine, including any error messages.

So open that up, then send your command, you'll probably see an error message of some sort in reply.
