create gcode with max msp

Hi max community !!! I've already made one drawbot (Makelangelo wall plotter) that uses marlin firmware. My configuration is : Arduino Mega board + Ramps 1.4 + DRV8825 drivers + servo.
I'd like to send vectors produced in max msp to the drawbot. Does anyone know if this is possible and what could be the method to do that ? Thanks for your replies !

Hello

Three years later, I’ve come across your unanswered post because I’m running a large, homemade drawbot (same hardware) in a fablab, but I’m rather frustrated by the Marlin firmware and the various pieces of software needed to make a drawbot draw.

So I’ve set to work – initially in JavaScript, but that proved too be complicated (but possible), so I’m now starting with a Max patch to control this drawbot entirely from a single piece of software. In my research, I’ve only come across this post – with no replies, just your question.

How far have you got with this?
