Hello, is it possible to add a fiber-coupled laser diode driver library to an Arduino program? If yes, what is the name of the fiber-coupled laser diode driver library, and how can I add it?
If not, does Arduino have any libraries that I can use as an alternative for a fiber-coupled laser diode driver? What are the names of these libraries? I don't have any physical devices of fiber-coupled laser diode driver, so can I use a fiber-coupled laser diode driver virtually? If yes, how can I use it virtually?
Please help....
Thank you. I need to work on a project involving an ESP32-based MQTT implementation for IIoT applications, which includes a fiber-coupled laser diode driver, what I don't have physical device of fiber-coupled laser diode driver. So, i'm looking for how fiber-coupled laser diode driver device I can connect virtually. The fiber-coupled laser diode driver will work similarly to a semiconductor laser device, and it is needed for data handling and processing, where the light emitted by the laser diode is coupled into an optical fiber. so I don't know exactly where I can works virtually if I don't have physical device of fiber-coupled laser diode driver. and it's possible to get the fiber-coupled laser diode driver libraries on Arduino IDE and Espressif IDE?
There are no virtual devices in the Arduino IDE or espressif IDE.
You would not control a LASER directly from an Arduino. Your program will interface with some type of driver circuitry. It may for example require an analog input to control current and a pulse input to pulse the LASER
However, there are no standard hardware LASER drivers. The number of inputs and control functions can vary quite a bit.
What is the purpose of your LASER, data communication or other?
Is the LASER connected directly to the ESP or is it IoT somewhere?
Since this seems to be a theoretical exercise and the essence seems to be more in the data processing end of things, I'd (re-)suggest to not make things overly complicated and just model the laser as a simple LED that you can drive by driving a GPIO high or low. If that doesn't meet your supervisor's/teacher's/client's needs, they'll be sure to let you know, which will offer a great opportunity to ask them what approach would fit their expectations.
Thanks a lot for your response. I don't have the physical device of a fiber-coupled laser diode driver because I am working remotely. That's why I don't have the physical device of a fiber-coupled laser diode driver. This is my master's thesis work. If you have any experience with this, I would really love to have your assistance.
That would be the same way an LED connects virtually. There are plenty of Arduino projects and tutorials posted on line, describing methods of using web page forms to control or collect data from remote devices.
