    Most libraries that you include will already have a license file with them. Generally, check with each library that you consider using to determine its license properties well before starting to use it.

    Presumably, if you also include that required copyright notice. Dealing with things that have multiple licenses can be tricky.

    GPL 2.0 code may be re-released under GPL 3.0, and if the other code requires 3.0, then that’s what you need to go with.

    We can definitely help, but we’ll need to ask some specific questions to identify and resolve the issue. Please write to us by email, use our contact form ( http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/contact ), or join our discord chat ( https://discord.gg/axhTzmr ).

    The EggBot software is only designed and tested to work with the EggBot hardware.

    While I’m sure that it’s possible to make firmware that runs on the Arduino or Pi Pico that emulates the regular firmware, I’m not sure what that is, and we certainly don’t provide any support for it.

    I’d suggest that you follow up on whatever set of instructions you’re following for whatever software it is that you’re running. It’s not something that we can help with.

    Those are M2 and 5 mm long, if it’s a recent model AxiDraw. If you contact tech support, we can send you spares as well.

    The error message says:

    error: variable ‘fiveLetterWords’ must be const in order to be put into read-only section by means of ‘__attribute__((progmem))’

    So, maybe try changing

    char fiveLetterWords[] PROGMEM = “ALII...

    to

    const char fiveLetterWords[] PROGMEM = “ALII

    The current version of the Alpha Clock Five software already has this change made — it was required by a change in the Arduino software. If you run into other difficulties, you might want to compare to the “official” source code, to see if those issues are addressed in it.

    in reply to: Inkscape (or dependencies) wrong version? #29037

    The issue is that you are running extensions that require Inkscape 1.0, while running Inkscape 0.9.

    Update to Inkscape 1.0, if you want to use the current version of the AxiDraw software.

    Hard to say from this description alone. A servo issue can cause XY problems. But, it definitely sounds like it’s not related to the original topic here so I’m closing it.

    I’d suggest a fresh install of Inkscape and the AxiDraw software; this isn’t a common issue that we’ve seen.

    @D_C_E I’m sorry I didn’t see this post; it does not show up in the forum index for reasons that are unclear to me. If you’re still having trouble, please contact tech support directly — we’ll get you taken care of.


    @pythonpinky
    This is an unrelated issue. The issue is that the software requires python 3, and you are (somehow) running Python 2 here. (The Inkscape extensions no longer work under python 2.) Please update to python 3. Make sure that you’re running Inkscape 1.0 (or newer). You may also need to manually edit Inkscape’s preferences.xml file to explicitly state which version of python to use, if it’s still locating python 2.

    We do not provide support for that hardware.

    If this is a JJROBOTS product, then you need to ask _them_ for support, not us.

    OK, so that’s definitely not an EggBot control board. The EggBot software does not support it.

    What does the board say on it?

    Can you please clarify what it is you are doing with the Arduino IDE?
