Abstract

The article describes the possibilities of the Arduino platform when employed as a control unit of laser diode system. Considering the prices of control units for laser diodes that are available it is necessary to search for new and cheaper solutions. Also, there is a requirement to enable control of such a setup using a personal computer. The proposed setup should be provided by the Arduino platform in combination with laser diodes. The aim of this project is to create a device with many options of employment in the lighting field.
