===== Laserworks =====

=== Before you begin ===

Here's a checklist of things which need to be done before using the laser in no particular order.

  * Ensure that both the machine itself and the cord for the compressor are plugged in and the machine is switched on.
  * Turn on the ventilation and ensure proper configuration to allow airflow through the machine.
  * Turn on the compressor in the cabinet. This is technically not required for everything but its basically never detrimental. Air assist is not controllable by the machine (yet).
  * Check maintenance log to ensure the lens has been cleaned recently (TODO: make a maintenance log)
  * Wear Protection. It is recommended to use safety glasses specifically designed for laser safety. (there should be some near the laser engraver)

=== Web interface ===

While connected to the AltSpace WiFi, navigate to http://10.20.30.16/ in a web browser. This is a web interface used for joging, resetting some errors, access to a terminal, homing, and some other things. It has a settings page, please do not touch the settings page. :) This is bookmarked on the space computer.

Note: The ip will likely change in the future and be replaced with a static ip.
Also note: There is a ui bug where the "pause" button should be replaced with "resume" after the door has been opened but doesn't. Type "~" in the terminal to resume instead.

=== Software ===
There is a copy of Lightburn on the computer next to the machine that is configured to work with the machine.
