Yes, off-site documentation can't be verified without going off-site. It can become broken as well. It is encouraged to have enough information about the project that another member could build it based on that information as well. We'll move your thread to the Propeller forum for now. Take care.
The real purpose of this project was to raise people's consciousness of the Propeller, so I'm glad Hackaday picked it up. Hopefully it'll plant some seeds.
Well done getting hack-a-day. This one might end up going viral in popularity - out of curiosity type a few key words into google and compare the hits every few days. See if you can get Make to pick it up.
Something I have always wanted to do but you took it beyond anything I would have managed on the software side. Super sweet! I've subscribed (Littlestworkshop) to your channel.
I just got back from ToysR'Us and I now have an etch-a-sketch to toy around with.
The knobs are on this thing are pretty darn sturdy. How did you go about removing your knobs? And I am also curious whether you made custom couplings or just used rubber hose.
By the way, very cool project and thanks for documenting it.
Since I am fairly certain that your goals were most likely different than my current goals, I have decided to try and simplify my project (manual erasure required ). I sincerely hope that you don't mind, but just in case someone has the same goals as me (testing linear and circular interpolation for CNC), I am posting an illustration of what I intend to do. Your project is much cooler than what I intend to do, so please do not be offended, because I am not trying to steal anyone's thunder
Note: Angle aluminum attached to melamine frame with wood screws and in a manner that the top surfaces of the aluminum and frame are flush. Although not adequately shown, the melamine frame has a cutout, so that the top of the Etch-A-Sketch may also be flush with the other components, and additional hardware (not shown) will be added to the rear of the melamine top, to hold and maintain the Etch-A-Sketch unit at the proper height. Also not shown, is four legs attached to the rear of the melamine top, to raise the entire working assembly to a predetermined height.

Sorry, I didn't realize off-site documentation didn't count. Please delete this thread (or move to Propeller forum?)

The knobs are on this thing are pretty darn sturdy. How did you go about removing your knobs? And I am also curious whether you made custom couplings or just used rubber hose.
EDIT: Okay I got the knobs removed
Thanks for getting back to me.
