Post stamp-sized 4 axis stepper motor controller system on module SCE2-M is designed to save space and speed up motion controller integration time for custom products. When paired with industry-standard open-source motion controller firmware it can be controller by g-code and drive whole small CNC machine without external components. SCE2 is second Kurokesu motion module […]
Read MoreIntroducing motion family platform
About A few months ago last RSA1 rotary stage parts in the warehouse were consumed and the decision not to extend its life was made. Instead, the whole family of new motion devices was designed. Heart of all – is the motion module used in the main controller. It is a small standalone stepper motor […]

Read MoreMotorized lens controller mk2 updates
It has been a while since zoom lens controller v1 was discontinued. The reason was very simple and happens to the best of us – the manufacturer made critical part outdated. Half a year ago swept all available stock and manufactured the last batch. An updated version was in development, but only internal use sample […]
Read MoreUse of Kurokesu C1 family cameras in NIR spectrum
Usually, an image sensor is more sensitive to near-infrared (NIR) than visible light. For normal home use operation, it is mostly preferred to have NIR spectrum part to be blocked, but for scientific, industrial or biometric applications there are a lot of cases where having unrestricted sensitivity to full spectrum is a huge benefit. Kurokesu […]
Read MoreIntroducing C1 MICRO USB camera
Tiny and lightweight camera system based on original C1 was in development for a while. It was challenging to squeeze all components even to 6 layer PCB with tight tolerances. After a few design iterations finally, C1 MICRO M12 camera is released and pre-orders are open. Key features Lightweight and small. Camera weight without a […]
Read MoreNew cameras and near future plans
As new amazing cameras are in development and few will be released soon there was a struggle how to name them. Wanted to reflect it’s purpose and have universal coding so there was a big toss between few ideas and finally the decision was made. Kurokesu started camera portfolio with C1 camera in 2014. After […]
Read MoreBig scary laser
Or not. I have been begging Santa for fiber laser for years and this year seems like I behaved myself good enough to deserve it. Crate weight was more than 60kg, pulled my back while carrying it but I don’t complain. Marking It’s quite opposite to 3D printers where material is being deposited. Laser energy […]
Read MoreStressing C1 camera
I know from previous experience that Kurokesu C1 camera can handle decent temperature range, but only today made proper tests in thermal chamber. There are few aspects to be tested: stable data transmission over USB bus, stable hardware performance and temperature influence on picture quality. So let’s shove camera with attached temperature probes into chamber […]
