Yeah, my idea was to build something like this myself, but it's way outside my pay grade.
So given that, yeah, I'd like to have one. I'd probably pay $100 for something like this in a nice little package.. (especially if it could play .wav laser shows from an SD card).
I was involved with another (non-laser) product that used 2 and 3 letter commands over serial BLE to change settings on an arduino based light board. I then wrote a Cordova mobile app to give dozens of two and three letter commands a GUI instead the provided command line interface. Worked great -- users didn't have to memorize dozens of commands. So I thought using the same approach, having BLE on Arduino or RPi would eliminate any buttons on the laser device and we could control it via any smartphone from up to 30m away. Also firmware/feature upgradable.
Especially at SELEM, there's constant needs to throw up test patterns for scanner or driver tuning, but we need to find someone with a computer, software, dac, etc.
Yes, I saw that. Would the same firmware be portable to a new device like this?
thanks.
