Update: I didn't realize that mscomm32 wasn't part of windows 7 and later.. Here is an installer that will install all of the dependencies.
SphereBot.msi
It will put the controller in the start menu under SphereBot (points to program files or program files x86)
The Executable will actually run from anywhere afterwards though..

This software works with arduino based sphere bots. It will turn 2 color Images into paths. This thing includes a sketch for the arduino, and an executable to convert bitmaps and send them strait to the spherebot.
I am adding features to import dxf drawings and existing gcode. Thingiverse wont just let me upload code, so I included a bender dxf.
If anyone is interested, the VB6 source code is included in the zip file. I apologize now for the lack of naming controls, but this thing was just thrown together. I will clean it up a little later :)

Here is a video of making Patric.

Just a side note.. All of these were drawn with microsteps on 8
that's 1600x 360 pixels to draw all the way around the sphere

This program only works on PC's.. Sorry :(

Set the parameter for your spherebot in the sketch
Upload the sketch to the arduino.
Run the Sender executable. Load a Black and white picture or drawing and Hit Send to Bot
Line drawings move very quickly. Photos might take 10 mins to draw.
In the arduino sketch...
Set the baud rate to match the sending program.
Set the folowing to match your bot:

yEnablePin 9
yDirPin 10
yStepPin 11

xEnablePin 6
xDirPin 7
xStepPin 8

servoPin 13

defaultpenUp 29
defaultpenDown 40

Note: the xStepsPerRev in the sketch will be used
later for rotating the short way around when the
pen is up. but for now, they are not used and can
be ignored.

On the Controller..

Set the baud rate
Set the comm port
set the x and y steps per revolution
Set pen up position (don't forget to change it in the sketch too)
set pen down position
