 The software side is effectively the same as Beeg Plotter's little sister, [Sketchy](projects:plotter). A few Klipper macros are used to make using it easier (e.g. changes to z are interpreted as pen up/down).

+## Config changes
+Klipper config changes will cause an auto backup to [the beeg config repo](https://github.com/glasgowhackerspace/beeg-plotter-configs) so if it breaks or gets wiped, you should restore it from there. If you do make big changes, please announce it on the discord.
