Hi All, I've wanted at ILDA laser for ages having played with lasers since building a he-ne back in 1985 and getting an Argon Ion air colled laser a few years back. My budget only allowed for a used Chinese RGY unit which I think has 12k galvos (the manual says to send ILDA files at no more than 15kpps). It plays the built in patterns via DMX without any issues, but with ILDA (using the Helios DAC) I am having a few problems.
Simple patterns play just fine, but anything with more than about 800 points seems to be a struggle (I'm using Lasershowgen software), I've tried playing a few ILDA files I found online and in most cases nothing at all happens, neither does the output light on the Helios DAC light up. In the software the number of points turns red at about 800, is that the maximum amount of points possible with my galvos?
I downloaded the ILDA test pattern which plays as a complete mess, so I'm guessing the galvos are out of tune, it does however play the built in patterns just fine. As I have no idea who the manufacturer of the galvos is I can't find any instructions as to which pots do what, so am not keen to mess with them.
The other issue is everything sent by ILDA is rotated by 90 degrees counter clockwise. Is this an easy fix?
