@anothershakey Thank you. Yes, I wrote my own HPGL command interpreter in GCC. It's very simple software based on Bresenham algoritmus and decoder of basic HPGL commands (<2kB of code in flash). Hardware is only AtMega16, FTDI232RL and two transistor arrays 4AC16. It works very well with Eagle CAM procesor or with Autocad CAM procesor. But it's only interesting toy, one step before fully 3D CNC machine which I want to build.
that's excellent. did you write your own HPGL parser or did you use an open project (if yes, which one?)

Thats just awesome dude !
Is the "image" in the uC or ist it send by a PC or something ?

@TCCHowie
Image is send by PC from Autocad in HPGL format by RS232. In uC is interpreter for HPGL commands.
