LAOS firmware¶

Firmware¶

The Firmware is the code that controls the motor and laser. It is installed on the mainboard. Installation of the firmware on the controller, and configuration of the firmware for your system is described here. To test the hardware, a separate test program is written. Its use is described here.

The firmware uses a simple instruction language that is described here. These instructions are used to instruct the laser to move, cut and mark.
