    I have LivePro, but i think this was also an issue with FB3,
    anyways, a software update he sent me, took care of the problem for me.

    Yes I tried that. I am going to try and feed the laser 5V with an external power supply and see what I get out.

    Was that a new version of LivePro or a firmware update for the FB3 via LiveQ?

    New version of LivePro, but with full output/brightness, when setting up beams in LivePro. I had to ask for it, its not on their website

    Is there some kind of range for the current whilst feeding the the 0-5V to the lasers?

    Turns out I don't have a power supply yet to use. In the mean time maybe a couple of you guys can take a look at the FB3 I am using and tell me if anything is out of the ordinary. Also what are all of those little white switches that look like they can be slid up and down?

    Those switches are for DMX addressing, they won't have any effect when running in USB mode or auto mode.

    Thanks Things. This is so frustrating. I have this awesome projector and I can't get even half of it's potential.

    For those who wanted to ask an update for LivePro for FB3 to Pangolin, I just asked and they hadn't yet compiled it, so we have to wait a few time...

    Why don't you power from the USB buss? In your picture, on the USB daughterboard just behind the big black chip (iirc) there are 2 copper holes close together. If you bridge those (I soldered a jumper block in there as per someone else on this forum so it's easy to switch off if needed ) it will take it's power from the USB.
