This is a motorized kinematic mirror mount, for moving | |
mirror in/out of optical path. | |
The mount is for [stepper | |
motor](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9238) (size | |
Nema17), shaft adapter for Thorlabs kinematic mirror | |
mount | |
[KM100](https://www.thorlabs.de/thorproduct.cfm?part | |
number=KM100#ad-image-0). | |
There are two endstops at both ends of travel, made from | |
standard 6x6 mm Arduino | |
[pushbuttons](https://www.adafruit.com/product/367). They | |
are mounted on top of posts, which are printed separately | |
and connected to main frame with M3 screws. | |
The shaft adapter and the endstop posts have holes for M3 | |
screws - they need gentle threading with M3 tap. | |
The whole thing can be bolted to Thorlabs | |
[BA2/M](https:// | |
www.thorlabs.de/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=BA2/M) plate | |
for post mounting. | |
Motor control and tracking of endstop status was done | |
with [RAMPS 1.4](http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS_1.4) | |
shield, Arduino Mega board, and a | |
[branch](https://github. | |
com/nvladimus/Marlin/tree/MicroscopyStages) of Marlin | |
software. | |
