I received my microcontroller (CUBLOC CuSB-22R) and got it to sort of
work, that is, it executes sample programs and prints things on LED
display and turns relays on and off.
At some point I will have to write and debug a program to control my
welder, with the CuSB inside the welder. I have a laptop that
presently runs linux, perhaps I can somehow install Windows on it too
so that I can run Cubloc Studio.
My question is this. Is it unsafe for a laptop to be located next to a
working welder, with HF possibly turned on, open panels, etc?
Would it be a good practice to download code to the controller,
disconnect laptop and take it away (to another room or some such)
before starting welding? Or is it unnecessary? Would it be OK to just
disconnect the serial cable so that there is no electrical connection
between laptop and the welder?
I have other alternatives too:
- connect and disconnect CUSB every time I need to upload a new
version, and run with it to a computer (a real hassle)
- buy a 100 ft (sic) serial extension cord and run it to a computer
inside the home.
Anyone has any idea what I am even talking about?
