**RED ALERT: ALWAYS STAY IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR LASER WHEN RUNNING A JOB.**
In my search for software to reuse an Android tablet as a drawing tablet, I found the cherry on top.
Requirements:
WIFI (or USB)
Windows PC ≥ 10
Tablet (maybe a phone?) Android ≥ 5
SuperDisplay Android app (I tested this one, there are others like Weylus)
Install SuperDisplay Windows driver
As is tradition at this point, we cannot emphasize enough that remote operation (that is, not being immediately present while your laser is running) is an ENORMOUS safety hazard.
Laser fires can and do happen.
If this was, say, to be a tablet placed at the machine - that’s a different story.
Of course, the idea isn’t to go to the restaurant and control the laser remotely, but in cases like I’ve read about someone who clicked on frame and ran to see if the laser was in the right place. SAFETY FIRST of course, they even say the devil can shoot with a stick.
I’m passing this information on so that you can use a tablet NEXT TO THE LASER.
I tested it with a Lenovo 10 tablet from 2018 on WIFI and it worked smoothly, but it can also be used via USB.
