engraver_fw

Firmware for laser engraver based on Arduino Mega 2560

This project is based on Laserplotter project of Christian Nolte published in German computer magazine c't for "Mach flott den Schrott" competition.

Getting started

If your design and hardware layout is just like mine, you simply have to compile and upload the code. To do so, create a build directory, execute cmake and make. Then connect your Arduino to your computer, upload the binary and you're done!

The commands

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

make engraver-upload

That's it! Fairly simple, isn't it?

If your design is different than mine, you will have to edit the firmware source (engraver/main.cpp). Maybe you also have to edit engraver/CMakeLists.txt when you have a different Arduino board than "Arduino Mega 2560" or it is not connected to /dev/ttyACM0.
