The Pirate Ray

The Pirate Ray is Makerspace Næstved's clean-room project for learning how to interoperate with its laser equipment and, over time, building a safe desktop control application.

Phase 0 focuses on the JPT 100 W E2/M7 MOPA fiber laser with a JCZ/EZCAD2 controller. It is deliberately limited to documentation and offline analysis: no USB capture, framing, machine commands, or laser output.

Repository boundary

This public repository contains source code, plans, decisions, tests, tools, and sanitized research. Raw machine data, serial numbers, LightBurn exports, and third-party material with unclear redistribution rights live in the separate private ThePirateRay-PrivateStash repository.

Validation

The repository uses only Python's standard library for Phase 0 tooling:

python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
python scripts/check_public_repo.py .
