The very first automated laser run
We finally automated the laser cutting by using a digital to analog converter (DAC), connected via #I2C to one of the sensor ports of an #LEGOMindstormsEV3. We created a custom board featuring a #Adafruit #MCP4725 DAC.
After some tests to verify everything was working correctly we hooked it up to the laser to do the very first automated laser run. We are very proud that everything is controlled by only one EV3 Brick programmed in Java using the LeJOS firmware.

papercube – Testing the Lasermodule for cutting and slitting the paper.
Today the paper cube team has worked again.
The aim was to test the laser for cutting and slitting the paper. With the help of a small Java program, the motors of the cutting unit has been activated and a test is performed. We are very pleased with the initial results. What do you think?
papercube – prepairing for students lesson and testing the precision of cutting module
Jens and Fabrice are members of the papercube project team. In the last days they have been working on our „Module 1“ (The CuttingModule . The carriage with the pencil is used for training purposes in the Java lecture . Later, it is replaced by a laser module . Then it’s possible to cut the paper . The film can be seen exactly how the unit works . We are always impressed how accurate can be constructed with LEGO.
Pictures from our new Gluing-Module
Today the paper cube team has worked again: A part is currently working on the revision of the cutting module . The other team members revise the gluing module. The entire unit is now mounted on a carriage, to apply the adhesive on each point of the paper can.
The special feature of the unit is the contactless gluing. The adhesive is applied by means of pneumatic onto the paper. Therefore we use a small 3-way valve. More on this later 🙂
LEGO Mindstorms papercube: Testing the new Laser in the LEGO Environment
Today we have our new laser unit integrated into the existing LEGO Environment.
Subsequently, a first test is performed. This looks very promising.
We made a couple of shots to show you how the laser is to be integrated.
Take a look at our new video and photos.
Prepairing the new Laserdiode for a first test
It’s time for a sign of life from papercube.
On the photo is no LEGO!!! Correct!
But we prepare just a test for a laser diode.
We would like to cut the paper with a laser.
The time of the exams at the university is over.
Yeah !!! Time for working on papercube!!
