Good or bad wiring diagram

[RGbee]

Firstly, apologies for the lack of detail in the schematic, i seem to have a weird version of Visio. Anyway, just wanted an opinion on the mains side of the wiring

theres no schematic!?!?!?

Sorry matey, tis attached now

Looks good to me. One thing I would recommend you change, is to not have the mains wiring anywhere near your lasers cords, or any kind of signal cords. if I put a 240V AC power cord up to my microphone, there is enough induction going on between them I can HEAR the 50hz! You dont want that in your galvo signal lines, or you'll have wavy lines.

I would also recommend some kind of cover for the dist. terminals, you dont want anything else touching them!

Other than that, it looks fine

Thanks very much Dan, i really appreciate the advice .
I'll make a note to move/shield everything, I was just a bit unsure of the chassis earthing and wanted to make sure the basic concept was sound .

No probs. With the chassis earthing, just make sure your laser-wave lasers dont have the + or the diode connected to case or anything like that. They usually dont, but its safe to check before you blow up $$$$ of lasers

Someone that deals with the laser-wave lasers could probably offer some input here, but it should be fine. I'm pretty sure laser-wave would design there lasers with the intention of them being mounted on grounded plates

EDIT: I hope you have the amps for the scanpro's

Sure have . As i haven't yet bought my FB3 eval kit, i have the DMX board (scanpro).
The laserwave images used were originally created by Loopee (Troy). This is my first proper build, so i thought i'd use them as a rough reference.
I still need a few more bits which i'll be sorting in the new year

I would also be inclined to run an earth link form the chassis earth point to the case (if it is metal).
