A list of users with LAOS converted laser cutters¶
Active users of LaOS systems¶
| Site | Equipment | Status | Details | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| User | Location | LaOS PCB | Laser cutter | Laser Specifics | Installation details, operation date |
Wiring schematics, pictures, config file Add extra pages please |
| Peter Brier Old profile | Eindhoven (NL) | rev2 | 400steps/rev stepper motors,. External leadshine stepper motor drivers. 16x microstepping. | |||
| Jaap Vermaas Old profile | ||||||
| Bart Bakker Old profile | Utrecht-NL | HPC LS3020 | 'original' power supply | operational | shielded cable to I2C display, LS3020 default | |
| Jean-Claude Wippler Old profile | Utrecht-NL (@david) | HPC LS3020 | operational w/ PWM | inverted mounting to get Ethernet socket aligned with chassis hole | ||
| Martine de Wit / DUS architects | Amsterdam-NL | HPC LS3020 | operational! | |||
| Lennart Herlaar | rev 0.2 | HPC LS3020 | July 2012 power supply, flat cable | operational | DIY flat cable to JST adapter | |
| Protospace | Utrecht-NL | SUDA | not operational | LaOS-board installed and working, but lasertube/power supply fails | ||
| FabLab Amersfoort | Amersfoort-NL | Rev 3 | HPC LS3020 | operational, but with PWM issues. | 1kOhm resistance to pwm, from exhaust on, config: [[source:config-amersfoort.txt]] | |
| Fab Lab Potsdam | Potsdam-DE | rev 0.3 | HPC LS3020 | not operational | ||
| Kalle Pihlajasaari Old profile | Johannesburg-ZA | rev 0.4 kit on the way | DW-40 perhaps | parallel Moshi controller & USB Newly controller |
Combined 24V, 5V & HV PSU PCBs | A 26x24 unit and a 52x43 unit with no tube, 2 spare PSU boards. Got MoshiDraw dongle, sw no fun, fixed motor wires, waiting on water and Z-lift for more testing, build log |
| Pieter Bos | Meppel-NL | rev 0.3 | HPC LS3020 | operational | ||
| Hugo Meiland, MakersCafe | Leiden-NL | rev 0.4 | HPC LS3020 | operational with PWM | info and settings | |
| Thomas Oster | Aachen-DE | operational | ||||
| Darren Poulson | Lancaster-UK | rev4 | K40-III | operational | All standard ebay kit, just the controller replaced. No wires to cut! 16x microstepping. Wiki pages created. Only thing not working so far is CUPS | |
| parag0n @ Hackspace Manchester | Manchester-UK | rev2 | K40-III | Operational | DIY FFC to JST adaptor, still needs a bit of work | |
| The Calver's from Cloud Pixies | Isle Of Sheppy-UK | rev4 | K40-III | Operational with PWM | still needs a bit of work | |
| Andreas, Fab Lab München | Munich-DE | rev 0.3 | HPC LS3020 | operational | no PWM yet, no display | |

New forum and wiki members without LaOS lasers¶
[There is probably some way to get an automatic list of members but that will need a Redmine specialist, the current list is on the LAOS Laser project page.]

Proliferation of LaOS in the field¶
This table will give an idea of the growth of the project and general uptake. The operational numbers are estimates. Obviously a few of the earlier revisions may have been swapped out though (at least until rev 0.3) there have been no fundamental differences between them and field upgrades have been the norm. While the idea of an open laser controller has been in many minds for a long time it has taken until 2011 before this system got off the ground. Starting with just a small core group of developers the progress has been rapid and is spreading far and wide with increasing number of developers and user adoption.
[The production figures here are guesses based on blog entries with under reporting and not official as yet ]
