Laser Cutter Command Station
element14 presents | Kaleb Clark's VCP Profile | Project Videos
Every time I want to use my new laser cutter I have to turn on and plug in a bunch of different things. Too much work! In this episode I am going to build a command station for the laser so that all the switches are in one place controlling relays to turn them off and on. Join me on my crash course through sheet metal forming, acrylic bending, code, and about a mile of wires!
