Is the AxiDraw working otherwise?

There's really not much to this. There's a simple transformation to convert your desired XY points into extended length of the two strings: https://www.marginallyclever.com/2012/02/drawbot-overview/ Math like this is _vastly_ easier...

Referencing related discussion ( https://github.com/evil-mad/robopaint/issues/293 ), I'm updating the title of this issue.

Interesting-- yes, we could do this within WaterColorBlocks, but the API also needs to withstand this input.

Do you mean limit switches? The EBB does support digital inputs, but cncserver does not presently (so far as I know) have an API function that can query them.

I would say that it would be plausible to add a specific command that would query the state of a digital input, using the EBB (UBW) "I" command.

It is not currently implemented in the firmware, although we are discussing some changes for a major firmware update in the near future. This would be a good one to...

If it can be specified in an arbitrary direction, then it allows for checking in XY or AB geometry, as well as upper and lower limits, without considering each case...

Let's move the discussion about firmware implementations to the appropriate place: https://github.com/evil-mad/EggBot/issues/58 For the moment, back to the original question: perhaps we should add an API endpoint for digital input...

All sounds good (except for the downsizing part). ;)
