This page is an archive of iMAL's wiki that operated between 2012 and 2022. It documented projects, residencies and workshops mostly taking place at iMAL's Fablab.

Older & newer Fablab projects are now found at fablab.imal.org

LaserCutter counter

The idea is to add a mechanic counter on the laser cutter that cannot be reset.

There is a pin on the laser controller that can be used to find out if the laser is activated or not. (5v when inactive and 0v when active) 

So... we need an extra pins to find out if the laser cutter is powered on.
The 2 inputs are protected behind optocouplers.
