Hello, I'm new to this site and lasers in general. I just recently finished a laser trip wire system, and during some web searches came across this forum. I plan on doing more with lasers in the future and I'm sure this site will be a valuable asset in my endeavors.
About me:
I'm a mechanical engineer with a big interest in programming and circuitry.
I am working on many small projects, I have a CNC machine, so I'm always looking for ways to justify owning one.
Anyway, if anyone has interest in knowing more about the laser trip wire system I designed please let me know. It utilizes the famous Arduino micro controller and two 8mm x 12mm red lasers (5 volt), not sure about the amperage. The system has yet to produce a false alarm, I would like to add blue lasers to the design, making that 4 lasers total.
