An Endurance laser box ver 1.0

Description

Endurance Laser BoxUltimate abilities for your laser module.

Flexible laser driver.

Measure voltage and temperature

Control the power consumption

Adjust the laser power

 

 

Your laser driver with ultimate abilities:

• Adjustable DC/DC. Setup any voltage and current limits for your laser module.
• TTL control (PWM): 3.5V-24V
• Voltmeter + ammeter measuring voltage and current to the laser.
• Voltmeter measuring incoming voltage.
• A thermal sensor measuring temperature on the laser diode.
• Adjustable duty ratio 0-100%.
• Adjustable laser frequency: 1Hz-1000Hz.
• Operating PWM frequency: 250-500 Hz

 

About step-down (buck) converter features:

• Input: 7-32VDC 
• Output 1.5-28VDC
• Current: up to 8A (adjustable)
• Efficiency: up to 90%
• Operating temperature: 0-60С
• Voltage ripple: + -5%
• Conversion frequency: 180KHz

 

The laser box contains:

• Voltmeter and ammeter

  Voltmeter and ammeter measure a real voltage and current consumption by the laser module.
  This gives a picture of the power intensity and laser power.

•  Temperature sensor

  The temperature sensor is added to the laser heat-sink and measures the temperature of the outside the laser heat-sink.
  The temperature outside the laser diode on a heat-sink should not be more than 55-60C (140F max)

•  Arduino board

  Arduino board is used to setup laser power remotely (duty ratio/frequency).
  Connect the Arduino board and change laser power parameters.

•  Endurance MO1 PCB

  Endurance MO1 PCB is needed to use the Arduino board.

• Input voltmeter (optional)

  The input voltmeter measures the input voltage.
  Input current gives a picture is the power supply is enough for the laser. If the voltage drops then the power supply is not good enough.

•  2 buttons switch
