I already spent the last 4 hours trying to work out this solution which probably is very very simple but I cant find it.
I am building a 2D printer which works like this image:
MOTOR1 spins the BLACK PLATE and the MOTOR2 spins the yellow plate in precise angles. I have the point (1,1) in the BLACK PLATE and I need to rotate both motors in order to get the BLUE DOT to touch this coordinate (1,1).
Considering that the yellow bar is initially all perfectly vertically and the black plate is in the "standard" position, how much must I rotate the BLACK PLATE (in radians or degrees) and how much must I rotate the YELLOW BAR (in radians or degrees) in order to get this to work?
