Dull analog laser w/ Pangolin

[waz]

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help me, I've recently bought the LD2000 intro package, when I use my TTL laser its looks normal, however when I use my analog laser it's very dull - you can hardly see it. I've played with the colour pallette settings and still no luck. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm hoping its just some setting that I haven't set properly...

strange ever tried running the laser without the controller just with 5 volts on the analog input ?

Forgot to mention, laser looked fine with my old software (Riya USB Box)...

ahh ok cool so the input it fine.

maybe the controller color output is faulty.
try connecting it to red or blue output and see if that works any beter

Yep, tried red and green channels (it was in the intensity/blanking channel) and all looks the same, no difference.

Got me stumped!

thats prety strange indeed

Yeah.. I've contacted Hayden from Pangolin, but he's probably asleep with the time difference haha. Just thought i'd post here and see if anyone had any ideas...

Just measured the voltage across the colour connectors on the ILDA connector, its only measuring 3.75 volts... is this right?

Hey WAZ

I don't think you can measure the output voltage directly, I think you'd need to use a scope

Have you checked that the analog ground is connected properly?

Where in Sydney are you?

I have a QM.net and LD2000 pro, if you need to do some testing we could probably arange something

Yeah thats what I thought.
Everything seems to be connected properly, it also worked fine with the other controller I had.
Cool, I'll send you a PM :-)
