    I guess I am still super noob, just trying to figure out how to even use this laser, do you know how it works? Do I put a file on the SD card and then it should play on my laser? What type of file do you think this laser supports? There was no support for it on the manufacturers site.

    Sorry for being so inexperienced on this. I'll check out the FTP and fool around.
    hi Philter, did you get to make your laser work?? im in the same boat as you... my company bought it and they expect me to know how to use it... no manual, no software... NOTHING!

    heeeeeelp!!

    Have you tried putting ilda files on an sd card and putting it in the projector?

    With all of the recent posts about software/DAC questions, I am starting to wonder if we should put a sticky up with a list of the common packages and their capabilities (if that could even be listed). Or would this be too much like static advertising?
    If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.

    i think it's an excellent idea. i'm a big fan of FAQs.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Damn good idea. Also, data on what OS's they run on is important, including any specialised dependencies like DirectX, individual code library files, etc, not normally part of a base install. I went looking at one or two recently, and NO word about that was specified. Given that software often runs on earlier or later OS's than the developer was using, this info should include any user-based information. Software users (let alone buyers) should never be left on their own to make assumptions about this.

    Given that when running a clean version of W98 using 98-lite, for example, or WXP reduced to a minimum, can make a much cheaper, older machine run better than a fully loaded new one, this kind of info is vital, it goes way beyond 'user preference', it allows some very good and interesting engineering decisions.

    Software developers for lasers, like those for much of engineering, should consider compiling for older systems anyway, it's never a good idea to force people to get the latest expensive stuff every time they buy just because one coder will not use one compiler! (Or define some code to allow older systems that people already had). This is already a very expensive business...

    Yup, you have got the Spencers 3D Party Light, I have not purchased one but I have followed two threads on it, how much did you pay for it?
    spencers has it for $169 though when it was first mentioned here there was some coupon code and people were getting it for $139

    You have to use ilda 1 or ilda 0 I recall, it is picky.

    here is the link to the part of a thread where you can get some working memory for it, there is 2nd thread about this projector but this one is the largest.

    Here is a link to where there is some info at James's site, he has made a version of his laserboy program that will work - or work better with it:

    Welcome to the forum, you should put your location in your profile so it shows where you are at.
