What a cool project! I will try this out when I get home. I was wondering if you have considered implementing support for touch designer input? Would love to use your software in conjunction with some of my live reactive patches I have already set up within touch designer. Thanks!

I don't post much, but have done some research on a bit of this, and knew a top researcher at CREOL (Center for Research in Electro Optics) at UCF years ago, Dr. Wu (see: https://creol.ucf.edu/person/shin-tson-wu/). His work was fundamental to nearly all LCD types today, and was helping efforts for...

... we're actually searching for the best way to separate the fractions for size (wavelength) -- so any specific wavelength could be interesting. Interesting too in the "old" dye laser setups ... too, specific for any of the selected wavelengths ...

And the most important part in all of this discussion is that if you eat a lot of greens and beans, you'll $hit regular- unless you're a bot! *nyancat

You "four" but actually one non-human are an AI necro-posting as a test and I claim my £5. Hack someone ELSE'S forum.:mad: Steve

Would you like a nice ~0.5% transmission 60 cm radius OC for the blue green yellow? Steve

Sa Wa Dee Kop! I've personally discovered many answers to problems after sleeping on it. But, I'm hoping this post might solve your's. 😎

Sorry for the late arrival. Just learned about MadLaser from a fellow laser showman's raving recommendations. Searched to see whether others are aware of it. Looks very impressive @ $275, but MadLaser is dependent upon a MadMapper license @ $550 or included within the MadMapper bundle @ $718....

if its not clear i intend to make a custom driver for this both for the challange and the drivers for these are like 5x what i payed for this head

Thanks! The zip contains a flat folder structure with *.dll's & an executable, which runs. Appears to be a very detailed tool, not only for display projectors, but engravers, as well. However, the zip contains no instructions. But, after digging deeper into OPTlaser's site, I found these...

oh yeah sure, I just asked nicely and recieved, so i dont think anybody minds me sharing :) you'll need a Serial adapter for it, i dont know which one exactly as i dont have a OPT box yet... but im guessing something fairly simple...

Great info to know! With 2 * OPT modules, I'm likely going to need OPT's tuning software sooner or later. Mind sharing it on this thread or via PM? Thanks in advance 👍 Roj

AFAIK my Tmax uses a GS module which uses the DT XEON driver ive been talking with OPT and they have their own digital driver and even sent me the tuning software for it (if a diode needs replacing you will need this) so they are not the same at all, and all i can say without trying OPT's one...

OPT is also using digital drivers. they may be the same. i'm not sure.

Goldenstar's digital diode driver offers advantages in color representation, color tends to stay the same during fades etc. For graphics and logos the digital driver is impeccable. You can dial it down to 100 mW or less and white stays white. Steve

golden star, better beam.. thicker heat sink... diode protection and less overdriving and more correction. The thing is not all 25w is the same.. there is a good reason for the difference in price and its not all down to markups.

Have you tried checking if the wattage of the new blue bulb matches the original one? It might be the key to fixing the brightness issue. Maybe adjusting the color organ’s blue channel sensitivity could help align its output with the new bulb.

That color tree is great! Thank you for sharing. Once Halloween is done this year and when it cools off in my garage, I am going to play with it a lot more!

Nice demos of your progress, Greg. You have really accomplished a lot!

... I've tested some years ago, with an older 30W MOPA and "normal" stainless steel (in German "V2A" or "V4A") with not so good results (first combined image attached). Most of this "colourfull" results are made with steel, alloyed with Titanium (Chinese something like "steel #92") - have some...

Very cool. I ended up with a 200W JPT MOPA but I haven't been able to crack the stainless steel coloring yet. I managed to get a mauve color and a very light blue but that's about it. I suspect that it's because I have no idea what grade the stainless is. I imagine that has a lot to do with it....

I'm not sure that everyone gets that you're building the tools to choreograph/perform the shows rather than posting a complete work...

This video shows three first take passes using the new encoder tools. The first take used the buttons and joysticks to lay down data for the spiral generator. An unchanging analog circle is the only image source used except for the pongloid. This take resulted in recording both the spiral...
