Beam Rail effects deck ~ time to wire

[polishedball]

Little video update, showing basic function, Still have and actuator to add and a torture tube to mount, the motor is there already and waiting. Control is pretty much all there now.



Kinda a bummer I have the MACHIDA perfectly aligned to the white shelf. gonna have to trust me it looks great in person. Can;t wait to locate the machado I have as I am pretty sure this one looks tighter beam wise. Thanks dsli-jon!

Control box shot, this will allow the button box, LSX TTL control (via USB) and DMX (decoder still needs mounting or gates are in place). First thing I heard was that isn't "DZ" quality from jimboy on the forums. It looked a bunch better till I found my pull down resistors were to high a value and I needed to top mount new ones as I wasn't going to rewire the whole underneath.

Anyhow it works, It controls the topside GM20's (7) for lumia, poly20, machida, etc. It also controls the lower beam chase, also a X10 speed switch, color chase, and individual RGB control of the beam rail.

Will post a video of it in action and also showing LSX slaving to the HD24's time and controlling the table. The remaining hole is for the pot analog control of the poly20, it is also addressed via DMX with more precise control and no jitter from pot voltages not being exact, but I wanted the control box to also handle it.

But... does it "travel" well?

Ahhh we will see come late August, im sure it will make it in one working piece

Video Showing LSX function control. Can't wait to build out all the effects to a HD24 ADAT show. Torture tube that is missing will be here soon.



When I state "unsteady state" i don;t mean in logic, I meant to say that you might get stuck with no display output of what is turned in if something upstream is already turned on. The logic all does as it is told.

That is awesome! SELEM is going to be insane this year!

Had some requests as to the effects on the poly20, here is a quick video stepping through them, then also letting them just rotate not diffracted. The jitter is from a dirty pot on the voltage control, this will be normally set by DMX via LSX, but waiting on my USB to DMX converter. Thanks again to drlava for adding this stand alone DMX solution seperate from any DAC.
