Mirror controller MR-E-2

The MR-E-2 controller is the ideal solution for driving the MR-series 2D fast steering mirrors. It consists of a base unit containing the carrier board and the digital CPU board and an integrated mirror head unit with mirror and proxy board. The controller 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 controller is compatible only with mirrors produced by Optotune Switzerland AG and allows various operation modes. The MR-E2 can be controlled from a host PC via the Optotune Cockpit graphical user interface. In addition, the controller offers the following communication interfaces:

  • USB, UART

  • SPI (I2C available as customization)

  • Analog input (± 5 V)

Software SDKs for Python and C# are available.

The controller is RoHS, REACH and CE certified.
