Popular Post Gene Howe Posted October 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Last week, I received my order of a little GearBest 1.6 w. Laser engraver. Friday, my son and I....actually my son and 12 Y.O. grandson...assembled it. I watched. My son is a robot tech and assembly was easy for him. I would still be arranging the parts. I left it at his house in Tucson and he's going to going to get it up and running. He's somewhat of an Arduino freak and wants to play around with getting the laser to interface with a Raspberry Pi instead of a computer. All, way above my pay grade. So, I guess I've stuck my toe .... barely... into the CNC world. My son is a busy guy so, it may be a while before we'll have an operational machine. But, I've got plenty of other toys to keep me out of trouble. MEBCWD, Artie, John Morris and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4DThinker Posted October 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 IMO there was nothing wrong with funding some fun and education for your son and grandson. Even if you never get that engraver back you've already won. 4D John Morris, Gene Howe, Larry Buskirk and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ditto what 4D said. Also, I would rather interface with a raspberry pie than a computer anyday... Cal p_toad, Gene Howe, joe the gas man and 1 other 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Any thoughts about using that Pi thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadio Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I like any kind of fruit Pie, especially Apple, but Raspberry is good too. Never had one cooked with a laser before, what has me puzzled is that raspberry season is long over here, must be a late season in AZ.
