One-Week Build
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 1:16 am
Now that v2.x is official, I am planning to set aside a week to build it, start to finish. I will document the experience here.
Obviously, I need to make sure everything is ready to go when the build week begins. That means carefully going through the BOM and getting everything ordered. I'll let everyone know how that progresses.
BTW, I am building it to use the LightObject DSP controller. I already have installed on my current system, but will move to the new when the time comes.
One thing I have already done...I have built a "home" for the future big blue box. What better way than to design and build a big blue desk, custom sized to fit the laser and to allow me a comfortable place to enjoy hours of making smoke? Well, here it is. The new laser will completely fill the laser deck space on the left, with it's top level with the upper, computer deck.
Don't know that the color is a match or not, but should go nicely with it.
