This is cool. It reminds me of 3D printers, but just in two dimensions and with a paintbrush and paint instead of a hot-end/nozzle/filament.
You could look at the firmware used to control the stepper motors/end stops that much of the reprap community is using at https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin. This uses GCODE as well, and deals with acceleration around turns.

Yep looked into Grbl. Hadn't seen Marlin. I didn't use this for Live mode since they weren't really built for that, but they'll be used for the photo to painting part.
