Laser Open Source (LAOS) floss your laser!

19Jun/11Off

There is progress…

The laos PCB

We have been a bit low key (other activities) but progress is made. We are routing a PCB, and working on the firmware. The SUDA system is now at Jaap's place, to run with new hard and software. Homing is working, speed settings are possible. Ubuntu 11.04 gave some compilation and linking problems, stepping back to Debian helped. We expect some releases in the next weeks.

About LaOS

The LaOS project strives to produce an open source environment for laser cutting.

We do not build laser cutters, but we convert existing machines by replacing the driver board with our own.

The project consists of:

  • Platform independent PC software to send files to your laser cutter
  • Embedded computer board to replace the driver board of your laser
  • Firmware for our embedded boards

The LAOS project was initiated by Peter Brier (KekkeTek), Jaap Vermaas (Fab Lab Truck), Jelle Boomsma and Siert Wijnia (Protospace).
