I replied to a PM but it's not in my sent items so.....

Greg, I can't attach the "6B alignment procedure" PDF because of the 5MB attachment limit (it's 14.2MB), but you can get it here: https://media-archive.exploratorium.edu:5001/sharing/1RFDPfuPx There's a section on the spiral generator in there. It's a rough document... Hope this helps. ...

The Corning Museum of Glass would present a hell of an opportunity for some unique lumia as well as fantastic interactions with the galleries themselves. Plus they have an auditorium and a barge!

FIRST Post deleted. I have to mix a similar voice on a weekly basis. ARGH!!! I mute that talent in the headphones when she sings , and press PFL / single channel listen / mute priority on the console so I only hear the keyboards.

I had a dream a few nights ago that we found a new venue for SELEM at a large southern university campus. The auditorium was a huge, amphitheater setup (high raked seating). Very similar to the generic image below And since we had so much space available, we lasered the shit out of that...

Download the various software before you buy anything and try to put a show together. See what fits your style and tech skills. Free spaghetti is a pretty good deal. Steve

I just assembled a LaserBoy Correction Amp and I have an extra USB SND8 sound device. PM me if you are interested. The software is at the link in my signature.

Just get this: https://bitlasers.com/helios-laser-dac/ And after you get it, hit me up and I will give you a free license for this: http://www.spaghettilasershow.com

Low cost / entry level doesn't come in a box.

Thanks guys definitely some helpful information...lucky the seller of the ishow 3.o took it back and I got my 150$ back...I'm up to try the audio dac tech .... send me links to the hardware and software buys ....

I've thought about writing a specialized wave player that would allow you to change parameters as it was playing like x & y gain and offset, color gain, color to scanner delay, channel swapping, etc. But that would be a totally separate app. Having live output from LaserBoy would be kind of weird...

I have a lot of old school equipment in Lexington nc hit me back 3362473081

The demand for it hasn't been there in a long time, honestly. You should make LaserBoy! do all that stuff since that is your domain. How hard is it to add a modern UI and make it so people can use it live?

I'd be thrilled to take those 20K scanners off your hands.:D

So does Spaghetti currently support all that stuff you mentioned about sound cards? If not, it should. It would make it just that much more appealing to people who want to explore the art of laser display on a budget.

I appreciate it but I think I have around 15 DACs laying around. I need to get rid of most of this stuff. I still haven't even taken the 20K scanners I won at my first SELEM out of the bag, yet.

So the moral of this story is that modified sound cards are not reliable because they're prone to getting rolled over by a chair. You got me. That's definitely a deal breaker. You know I could make one for you. Right?

kewl, I’m in SoCal, I’ll get you some pictures soon, but these mirrors are brand new and not used scrap pieces. box full of various sizes and qty. I paid 1,200 for them and never used them.

Yes, but it doesn't work now, after accidentally rolling over it with my chair. I added support in Spaghetti for it with my own driver (not EzAudDac). It works really well once the sound card drivers are sorted out in Windows. There is even a built in UI to change the audio channels to map...

Do you own and use a modified sound device? The C Media usb chip has been a good solution since it came out in 08 or so. There are also some very good options for internal sound cards. It might take a bit of tinkering to get it setup at the start but once you get it, it's just fine.

Soundcards DACS are OK but you kind of stuck with specific point rates and are at the mercy of whoever wrote the driver you are using and the OS that controls it. I think most people who tried out the soundcard DACs 10 years ago when they were the cheap way out knows the pain of getting drivers...

Thanks Greg, that's what I've been looking for.

I have Pangolin Quickshow and Beyond too , and it is sweet. Just don't buy a ISHOW unless you want to suffer great pain. 95% of people here could agree on that. Besides 64 bit drivers have never arrived for it. Steve

One problem with aging is having too many wonderful experiences to recollect accurately. I think the video actually was produced by SubLogic, an earlier creator of a 3D graphics package for the Apple II and PC. They were also the creator of Flight Simulator (I have an early version for the Apple...

I'm not having success finding LWave at http://laserboy.org/lwave/

FB3 and quickshow is pretty sweet

LWave can generate and play back multi channel waves (LaserBoy or otherwise) through a Helios DAC.

The ILDA file format has its limitations, but it's ok. It is supported by most laser applications. But there are other ways to save and transport frames of color laser vector art. LaserBoy allows you to use the wave file format as it incorporates the addition of information in the header of...
