DO NOT BUILD this version. Use the new version instead.
NOTE: This version has been replaced by a new version.
Laser Control Board Arduino Shield for the Laser Vision System. This board interfaces the laser PWM power modulation and on/off logic, as well as the LaserEye Reflection Sensors.
ERRATA: The negative voltage inverter on this board is unstable and has issues, generally causing it to go up-in-smoke. The laser power switching circuit on this board switches the low-side of the power supply, but the PWM output is referenced to ground, meaning that the laser will always stay powered up, rendering the power switching circuit useless. Use the new version of this circuit instead, which works rather well.
