I hooked up the laser to a different power supply and the circuit seems to work very well. I will need to do a bit more testing before I figure out if it has changed the range or response of the sensor at all. But this is quite encouraging. Thanks!
Hi Eric,
So your saying that the Supply for the laser should be +12V and 0V? I tried this and it seems to work, but the specifications for the laser say a supply of 18V to 24VDC should be used. What is the significance of using 12V instead?
You could mount one of those on the OPA pcb and use a common 24Vdc supply for the Laser and OPA pcb.
Hi,
No,
I said power the NMA2412 from +24Vdc
[ that will power the level shifter with an isolated voltage output of +/-12Vdc]
So
Thats 24V dc input to the NMA2412 and the laser.
The isolated +12V, 0V, -12V, output from the NMA2412 powers the level shift circuit.
The same 24Vdc that powers the NMA powers the laser.
