Firmware for a laser cutter.
I've been building a CNC laser cutter, and I'm writing my own firmware for it. What firmware I have written is here, but it's far from a complete solution.
Current status:
- Move, cut, home, and dwell are implemented. (No engraving yet.)
- Laser(s) fire in continuous, pulsed, or PPI mode.
- Translates G-Code to firmware's command set.
- Translates Postscript and PDF to firmware's command set using pstoedit.
- There is no UI -- command line only.
This is the laser cutter I built. http://www.buildlog.net/blog/2011/02/buildlog-net-2-x-laser/
My build log is here. http://buildlog.net/buildlog/view_log.php?id=1505 http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1505
