Officially The Extraordinary Laser Company (The XLC) is a laser cutting and engraving company supplying individuals and companies with a wide range of laser cut and engraved products and services. Unofficially? We like to mess about with pretty much anything we can mod, hack up, make or create. We don't always end up setting fire to things.

Ebay Listing
We have finally got round to starting to add some products to ebay, all laser cut of course. Ebay shop. So far we have quite a few home decor items which are great but the most interesting item is a Breadboard Component Holder.

Z Axis Prototype
Following on from the GRBL on a Boarduino post earlier we have started on the machine to attach it to!
After considering all sorts of options including a selective laser sintering 3D printer we have decided to start with a standard CNC Router with a bed of 1x0.5m. With this we will be able to cut, amongst other items, large model aircraft parts from carbon fibre sheet which we have had a number of requests for.
We have built the first prototype for the z axis and have already scrapped it for a lower friction, stiffer, longer travel version!

Boarduino ATTiny Programmer
We have been doing a lot of ATTiny programming recently and decided to simplify the process by making a board to plug everything in to rather than breadboarding it every time.
Rather than perf board we decided to make up a Laser masked PCB board to take a boarduino, ATTiny and reset overide capacitor. More after the break:

grbl, Windows XP and Boarduino
A quick note / tutorial to help anyone trying to find out the same information that I was!
I am looking to set up a CNC system and have chosen to go down the grbl route and use a boarduino. The first hurdle of getting grbl on to the boarduino using the hardware I have on my desk. A lot of sites made this sound a lot harder than it was in the talking about AVR programmers and all sorts
EDIT: The hex file supplied below has an error - the motor drive pin doesn't work. I have created a new HEX file which I will upload when I have tested it.
I have provided a summary after the jump:
