The MR-E-2 driver is an ideal solution for driving the MR-series 2D beam steering mirrors. It consists of a base unit containing control electronics and an integrated head unit with mirror and driving electronics. The driver in the standard version with housings can be used for testing and proof of concept work. The boards without housing are available as OEM version for integration with system electronics.
The driver is compatible only with mirrors produced by Optotune Switzerland AG and allows various operation modes. The driver can be controlled from a host PC via the Optotune Cockpit graphical user interface. In addition, the driver offers the following communication interfaces:
- USB, UART
- SPI (I2C available on request)
- Analog input (± 5 V)
Software SDKs for Python and C# are available. The driver is RoHS, REACH and CE certified.
