Will the 10 Watt laser work with SM original?
If not, are there any plans to release a higher power laser for the original?
I’ve already upgraded to the 1.6
Short answer: no, and no.
Long answer: you might be able to get the 10W to work, with a lot of effort. The Original can’t talk to the V2 modules. There have been efforts to reverse engineering the CAN bus protocols, so it’s possible you could build an adapter that does the translation. You would also need to figure out how to build and update the firmware. That’s been done for the V2, but requires more embedded systems gear than I have at home. So it’s possible, but it’s going to be a Project.
I’m not aware of any Original modules designed after the 1.6W laser.
Thanks for getting back to me.
This is a bit disappointing. I was hoping this platform was going to grow with it’s customers.
