Sensor in CNC DIODE?

Open TheChapus opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello, I am currently a Diode laser CNC user and I am looking for an option to "always" keep the laser focus at 100%, would it be possible to use this sensor if I have a motor on the X axis to move Z? I currently have a Sculpfun S6, TTW5.5 and I am building a new machine with 20x40 profiles, I also have generic grbl boards with I2C to be able to install the sensor. I look forward to your comments. Thanks

I think the hardware should no problem, and maybe need to do some firmware work, but you can refer this from the marlin firmware.

Thank you very much for your reply. Diodo's CNC machines do not use Marlin, but instead work with GRBL. I have been doing some research and I think that a ToF sensor would work better, since this one only works with "metallic" surfaces. I will continue to investigate.
