Mirrorcle Technologies Hardware Guide (PDF Download)
Mirrorcle-designed controller with a fast Microchip PIC32MZ MCU. Provides USB communication, driving for MEMS devices, synchronization with other systems, and programmable hardware filtering to avoid overshoot and ringing. Controller is USB bus-powered and provides power for the embedded MEMS driver and low-power peripherals. System can therefore run solely on a laptop powered by its battery. Interfacing with the Controller is provided by Windows applications and APIs (C++, Matlab, LabView), as shown in many SDK examples and executables included with the Mirrorcle Software Suite (sold separately). Limited MEMS driving functionality is also possible via serial terminal commands.

Do you offer any in-house API and DLL controller/driver platform? And if yes, what are the advantages of such a platform?
As a Controller/Driver platform with the USB-SL MZ MEMS Controller for application development, we completely design and manufacture in-house. This allowed us to build the firmware and software up from scratch, always with possible events with mind that may affect safe device operation, such as stop or start operations etc. The software development kit (SDK) that runs with this MEMS Controller has some of the same demo executables and the same feel as our older versions, and includes additional functionality and options. Underneath is a fully proprietary API and DLL which is designed specifically for MEMS mirror control.
One advantage of this solution is that Mirrorcle Technologies owns all of the circuitry, which becomes interesting to customers who aim to integrate this driver platform into their own products. Another advantage is that this product includes laser driving control that can be synchronized with mirror movement. There is a very good laser driver circuit on board, giving 1-bit digital modulation at ~100kHz rates. The controller has a correlated digital output port has an 8-bit output that can be programmed in 255 levels using commands in the API. It can drive blue/green, or red lasers, but when delivered with a development kit, it will drive a red laser diode module by default.
