BDR-209 laser diode module with three-element glass lens and Supereyes B005 USB microscope recommended.

Features:  
[_] All-metal mounting hardware.  
[_] Table-like platform design provides multiple fine-adjustment mechanisms.  
[_] USB microscope can be tilted to view laser spot, for geometric Z-axis probing and spot size measurement.  
[_] Differential optical probe can be bolted to the aluminum extrusion siding using 2D bracket.  
[\*] Simple design is easily adapted to a varitey of mounting hardware, including common LMxUU bearings used on other CNC machines.

Future development will include merging the laser and camera beampath, and through a quality microscope objective for focusing/imaging.

LaserDriver electronics have been updated for compatibility with PatchRap.

GitHub Repo: [https://github.com/mirage335/LaserDriver](https://github.com/mirage335/LaserDriver)

Features include:  
\*) Highly adjustable power/filtering configuration, suitable for high-precision high-speed photolithography exposure.  
\*) “Memory” for two maximum power settings.  
\*) Linear single-transistor design should provide smooth highly resistant to feedback.  
\*) Optional low-resistance XT60 interconnects.  
\*) Remote interface fully supports panel meters and a variety of configuration switches.
