Need help re-writing Eggbot extension
I hope this is the right place to make this request. If not, maybe someone can point me to a better venue. I'm a non-programmer with an idea that I need help with. I want to use the EiBot Board from the Eggbot to construct a polargraph using 2 stepper motors and 1 servo that will be controlled from within Inkscape. The original Inkscape extension is written in Python and actually produces some readable output on a prototype polargraph I've constructed (see photo below). I've taken a look at the original Python script and have identified the key statements for moving the pen around. Anyone interested in helping with this? Thanks!

Are you willing to pay a programmer for their time? I am available for consulting and you may be able to find other people as well.
Otherwise, you may opt to learn programming and do it yourself, see:

It's not that hard and will likely be worth it.
