CO2 Laser Engraver. Industrial Laser Coder Hacked! Part 2!

Video Description

Episode 41 $2 for 1-4 layer PCBs ;PCB assembly from $0 : https://jlcpcb.com/DYE #linuxcnc #laserengraving #GCode In this video I have rebuilt a Domino D100+ Industrial Laser Coder/ marking head, and demonstrate some code to get it to do some engraving! This Laser uses the XY2-100 Protocol to drive the Galvos and modulate the Laser, so software and hardware is needed to get this to work. This Uses the awesome OpenGalvo OPAL library written by Daniel Olsson, and a PCB designed by me, to send standard Gcode which is then translated into XY2-100. This combination is suitable for driving other Galvo Scan heads such as the Sino-Galvo SG7110. F-engrave from the Linux CNC project is demonstrated to turn an image in to suitable G-Code for the machine. I engrave a few types of materials with it including Wood, Perspex and glass!
