My attempt at an RGB Projector

[James Lehman]

I think the yellow wire is connected to the wrong port.

I think the yellow wire is connected to the wrong port.

Which yellow wire and which port

let me know and I'll fix it

[buffo]

Haha! Yeah, that picture still amazes me. I guess if you connect everything *perfectly* the very first time and you never, EVER have any equipment failures, then you're OK.

For me, I think I'd quit on the spot if I started a new job and saw that. Because you know that sooner or later, someone's going to have to find that *one* yellow cable that is bad...

However saying that, even with Mamba I didn't need to adjust the power levels to get a fairly good white balance.

As it should be! It's nice to hear (see). Here's your projector:

Looks like you hit white rather well. Do you have any idea of the actual power levels coming out of the projector and how would you describe the white?

Hey Anthony



No, but I have performed the colour balance setup in LD2000

I was thinking of almost the same powerlevels.

300mw 532nm
250mw 472

The red i havent decided yet,
I know LW is working on new 645 lasers.
I havent had the time to figure out the power level for that.
The green i picked 300mw because it passes alot of dichro's and maybe i want to add 200/300mw of 405.

Are the beamhights the same with your lasers?
or did you solve that problem with those nice adjustable mirrors of yours.

:-)

Unfortunately I don’t have a power meter; I’ve been meaning to get one of the cheap OEM/kit thing, but haven’t got around to it yet.
The white colour kind of varies a bit depending on what you doing, if it’s a graphic show its turns to a warmish white (i.e has a bit more red in it) but if it’s doing beam effect it then becomes a strong almost cool white (i.e. has a bit more blue) or in my eyes a more accurate white

Anthony
The beam heights are pretty close; you would be able to adjust it with a three axis mount. The mirror mounts were more of a way of accepting any brand laser in the event that I needed to replace it with something else at a later date
I’m also looking forward to seeing the new 645nM lasers from LW, if only for better beam specs then the current 635nM, the red overhang is annoying although its impressive that the eye doesn’t pick it up well when mixing colours.
