Here are a few photos of my harp build. Quality is not that good, too much smoke in the room!
Left to right, mains inlet, USB programming port, 1/4 foot pedal jack, MIDI connector (frickin DIN plugs...) and sensor sensitivity pot.
LCD above connectors. Red LED indicates active MIDI bank (Red, Green, Blue) - foot switch selectable.
Laser Harp men's business.
1. Laser PSU, driver and TEC controller.
2. Scanner and harp PSU (+/-15V).
3. FTDI (USB) board (Arduino sans CPU).
4. 3 x sensors (Photodiode & transconductance Amplifier).
5. Harp board (CPU, DAC, Sensor differentiator, LCD driver etc).
6. Closed loop scanner driver (PID loop & amplifier).
7. 180mW 532nm Laser (Diode Pumped Solid State).
8. Galvanometer laser scanner (20kpps, single axis).
Yellow trace: Scanner deflection drive signal.
Cyan trace: Laser modulation (active high).
One frame (scan from left to right) complete, 40FPS (Frames per second). This is now achieving a laser duty cycle of 73% (ON) for much improved perceived beam brightness.

Here is another video demonstrating firmware v3.21.
Sorry for the heavy breathing, I am not well and the phone was held on my chin.
Dan is working on a new configuration GUI to suit the current changes and also RGB laser configuration.

Looks really good Wayne, did you manage to get the laser stable?
you guys really need to start a thread outside of the buy sell for this stuff, especially since you cant even buy them anymore.

Problem is most of the information for them is stuck in here, so unless the admin could rename & move it for us, we';d be leaving all the previous info behind.
Quick look at the WIP programming interface that'll be coming out with the new code:
It allows you to edit single banks seperately, as well as the parameters, so you don't have to write anything else if all you need to change is the note in 1 bank, for example.
I have also included a few little handy features, like a MIDI note converter when you double click any channel box

Hey Dan
How is the upgrade to the harp coming on? Not heard much for the last few weeks.
