Introduction
Lazrfish is going to make it easy to replace the old electronics that are outdated/unserviceable/crap in industrial laser machines found cheaply on the web. Most of these machines are stepper-driven, of higher quality than anything currently being sold/kitted as DIY, and can be picked up fairly cheap with sometimes working tubes even! The electronics are getting dated on many of the ~10 yr old lasers and they are going to be showing up more and more on places like Ebay etc... and that's where Lazrfish comes in. With a standard excellent reprap printer firmware, there are little changes needed to actually run a laser! We need to add the laser signal output (Usually 0-5V PWM) and use the heating mosfets on most boards as the arm/disarm to cut power to the laser power supply, as well as monitor door and shield safety switches etc...
