Hey all,
Excuse my messy code. I've been playing around with this some more...I wanted to simulate using a string and two pins to draw an ellipse on paper. I also wanted to rotate around in increments based on angle, which was tricky for me. Got it working though, and then added more stuff after that. Cheers.
