Welcome to the LaserWeb2 wiki! After making a net profit of 7.6 billion dollars on LaserWeb1, it was time to start a new version so we can charge you again and make another 10 billion.

Oooops! For a second I forgot that we believe in open source software and hardware, we do not run things like Microsoft.

Yup its time to start working on its successor already!

About

The idea is that this time round instead of a mess of code dumped together working through pure magic, LaserWeb2 will actually have an architecture!

LaserWeb2 will become a fully functional Laser Cutter Controller, running over http. Multiple serial devices can be connected to control multiple machines.

So how can I help?

*Easy! Pick a contributor, and show them you care! *

If you sell laser machines / parts / electronics / anything remotely related - I am happy to say we'll gladly take your bribe in exchange for sticking your logo on this page and linking to your stores! We'll probably even hook up the hardware you donate and figure out how it works and add that info/specifics/settings to this Wiki! If you have any business common sense, you can see that it is a pretty good ROI out of your marketing budget (;

Don't always send it to me (@openhardwarecoza) - please also send donations / hardware to our Contributors !
