I saw it on an older buildlog, but I can't remember who came up with the idea first as I've read so many people's posts while working on mine.

My control system is pretty similar. I don't turn on and off the laser psu though just leaving it on when main power is on. I also detect when the laser is firing and keep track of the total time the tube has on it (as well as the particular run). Have to tweak my code though, engraving I found throws it off a bit (sample rate).
Have to add light show LEDs though, only have white ones on the x axis makerslide for visibility . Cool idea.
At one time I was thinking of tapping into the digital ma meter to see if I could get some data out of it to feed to the arduino (via optoisolator).
