Programmable laser tool

A compact 405nm galvo scanner for drawing, exposing, projecting, and prototyping with light.

Mind The Mouse With Laser 405

Mind The Mouse With Laser 405

For people who want to make with light, and prototype through vibe coding.

Mind The Mouse With Laser 405 is a compact programmable 405nm laser galvo platform with a USB audio interface for real-time X/Y control. It lets Python, Max/MSP, creative coding, and vibe coding workflows become laser paths for drawing, exposing, projecting, marking tests, and optical prototypes. It is not a closed consumer laser engraver; it is a flexible starting point for artists, creative coders, labs, and hardware builders who want to modify, study, and integrate it into their own workflow.

  • 405nm / 600mW violet diode laser
  • 15kpps galvo mirror scanning system
  • USB audio interface for real-time XY control
  • 44.1kHz sample-rate XY path generation / WAV workflow
  • Teensy 4.0-based programmable control

What can I make with it?

Cyanotype exposure, laser projection, creative coding visuals, programmable marking, engraving tests, experimental imaging, and custom optical research prototypes.

Is it plug-and-play?

No. It is for technically comfortable users who want a programmable platform they can modify, study, and integrate into their own workflow. We are also building a community on Discord and Element for users who want to share tests, ask setup questions, and develop experiments together.

Is laser safety required?

Yes. 405nm / 600mW laser light can cause serious eye injury. Use proper laser safety goggles and a controlled operating environment.

Can it be used for cyanotype, fluorescent dye, or experimental imaging?

Yes. It can be used as a platform for cyanotype exposure, fluorescent dye excitation, experimental imaging, optical research, and small laser projection prototypes. Results depend on material, distance, scan speed, power setting, and safety enclosure conditions.

Can I buy it for a lab, classroom, or installation?

Yes, but please contact us first to confirm the current batch configuration, cable set, control method, firmware state, laser safety needs, and integration requirements. It is a modifiable technical platform, not a closed consumer laser engraver.
