Laser interupted while cutting #13

Open MakerLabs-Van opened 5 years ago

While a member was cutting, the fob was not moved or touched, but the system was interrupted for a couple seconds and because of that the laser did not fire- leaving a segment of their design uncut. this happening between 12 and 2 today with both guest 1 and guest 2.

OK, I do not have logs for that time period, but I have made changes to the Raspberry Pi device logging so it should capture all logs and keep them across reboots. I should get several weeks of log data this way, but it is only starting now.

If this was caused by the tag being lost for a few moments (e.g. slightly out of range, or at a bad angle), then one recommendation would be to increase the time delay before turning off the laser interlock so e.g. it keeps the interlock enabled for 30s after losing the tag (currently it is set at 5s). In this way, if the tag is lost and found within 30 seconds, the interlock will not have time to disengage during that time.

I would estimate that change at 0.5 hours.
