Need some help planning/building RGB scanner

[mliptack]

Hey Adam,

Yeah I meant to contact David a while ago, I've just been way too busy. He is my contact there, he is the one I purchased my first 50mW and this 150mW through. But I'm sure the only way to get it fixed is by paying out of my pocket.

Either way... if I rip it apart I will gain a better understanding on the operating side of these things Maybe I will even find the part that needs to be fixed.

Contact David Wu (salesx@laseverx.com) and explain the situation. (Note: two X's added to the e-mail to fool the spam bots. Remove the x's and you're golden) He might be willing to help. (Though admittedly he's bad about answering e-mail.)

Well, it's looking like it'll be here Monday or Tuesday. I just checked DHLs website, and I set up automatic notifications both VIA text and email.

Great news! Be sure to take some pictures of that green beast in operation...

My thoughts are flying through my head faster than I have ever been able to think before. And I never really thought about this, so here is my question.

Using the FB3 you can use more than one projector using the LA package. You need a separate FB3 for each projector, but could you use a USB hub or something? Or do you need to run a separate USB line into the computer? Also from experience, has anyone ever tried running more than one FB3 from a computer (Bill?) does it slow the computer down?

I am running a HP laptop with a Celeron M processor, not the greatest, but acceptable, and more importantly PORTABLE. My desktop, is a gaming machine, built a few years ago, and could easily handle anything thrown at it.

Hmmm... That's a damn good question, Max. I honestly don't know. I would *think* that you could use a USB hub to run more than one FB3, but I'd feel better checking with someone at Pangolin about it first. (Truthfully, I didn't even know that the LA Studio software supported multiple projectors!)

Yeah the LA software that I have has the option of setting multiple projectors. I am not sure if it is functional though. I don't have the hardware to test it.

eeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEE!

The laser has been cleared from customs! Does DHL deliver on weekends?! Its shipping express international if that helps. I assume not... but it would be great if they did!

[mliptack]

Ok, it'll be here tomorrow... I called DHL and they made a slight mistake. So it got delayed a little bit. Oh well... I can wait.

Either way, I need to study for another exam tonight so this delay is probably a good thing

Forgive me for being ignorant. but what is a "lead-light"

[mliptack]

Its just a brand name pointer.

One of the ones most commonly sold on eBay. It is well known to be easily overdriven.

Here is one on eBay
