Hey LPF,
I've been working on a CNC laser engraver lately.
Everything is up and running for the laser itself, and for that to happen it needs to gain a TTL input.
I'm using a LM317 DDL driver (LM350 to be precise) to supply the diode with power.
As far as I have understood TTL basically switches a port from high to low.
So looking around how to add TTL to a DDL driver I found a blog from somebody who used a DDL driver and added a optocoupler/-isolator and a NPN transistor to the circuit to achieve a TTL input.
Now I do have a 6N138 optocoupler and a TIP122 NPN transistor laying around.
Can i use the setup from this schemtic to achieve a TTL input for my laser engraver/cutter?
