A software-based SplatPost plotter.

Splatplost

中文

Splatplost is a software-based Splatpost plotter based on libnxctrl. Unlike the former commonly used USB printer which requires a Teensy, or AVR based microcontrollers, You only need a device with bluetooth connection, which is easy to use. With an optimized printing algorithm, this can save you up to 1/3 time printing it.

Basic Usage

Installation

It's recommended to use a physical linux machine. If you don't have one, you may check the flashable image. Windows or macOS is not supported, as libnxctrl is based on bluez, the linux bluetooth stack.

You need to use sudo, or root, as altering bluetooth is a privileged operation.

sudo pip install splatplost

This will automatically install the required dependencies.

If you need to update the library, you can use pip install --upgrade splatplost.

Use

Start the GUI with:

sudo splatplost
