Well Junktronix, AKA Kevin stopped by here today and dropped off some fun new stuff for me. I got a nice 2.5W 532nm Lightwave Electronics Half-Note system from a medical system. It needs a new diode which I also got. Secondly I got a nice, nearly new ALC 60X Argon system producing 175mW Multiline. It has 179.4 hours on the clock .
Attached are some pictures, no beam shots yet, those will come as soon as I can get this Lightwave system working! I just need a 500hZ signal which I will replicate with a Stamp. I also have a question about the logic of the input. Here is what I was told for the pins I need.
What does it mean what I have to give a low signal. Shouldn't a pin already be at low without a signal or do I need to connect it to a digital ground? Also, when I give a high signal, do I connect that to the 5V pin?On the 50 Pin connector
enable pin 6
-enable pin 2
reset 4
diode current pin 8
current monitor 28
watchdog 18
+5V Pin 27
analog ground 34
digital ground 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,36,38,41,43,45,47,5 0
enable needs Hi level signal
-enable needs Lo level signal
reset needs Hi level (This is used to clear fault conditions)
diode current (0-5v will set laser from 0-Max Power)
current monitor (0-5v means 0-50 Amps to diode)
watchdog needs 500Hz signal
