galvo head - protocol xy2-100 was created by greg23_78
Hello everyone,

I am currently considering building a metal fused bed printer.

I currently have a 500W fiber laser with a wavelength of 1064nm.

I am looking for a galvo head for printing.

I would like a printing range of 300x300, so I am considering a laser beam expander to output 18–22 mm and an SL-1064-300-420 type F-Theta lens.

As far as I understand, the ideal solution for the head would be to find one with an xy2-100 protocol to use xy2mod.
And I am aware that I need to find a computer with very low latency.
I have a Mesa 7i97t, but I assume that it is not compatible because the protocol expects a PWM. What is the best card for galvo heads?

One last thing, is it possible to calibrate the galvo head? If so, how?

These guys got it working with mesa and it seems  the pktuart so your 7i97 should do it..
