Does anyone have the file format for the MOT format (Popelscan files)? I am looking for the old version and new version formats.
Thanks!

If you familiar with VB6 then you can find something about .MOT in my archive. This program can save MOTs. Look into popelscan.bas module. I can't give more because it is exotic format now and I have no more info about it.
PS. Sometimes it is very usefull to see in files with HEX editor.
Sergey!
Thanks very much for the code. I am fluent in VB6. I will have to break out the HEX editor. I use those at work for debugging and such. I will need that especially for the mt2 files which are not text based.
BTW I really like your programs.
Do you use popelscan much? The new one is really nice.
No, I never used popelscan. Do you want to create software which will support it?
ps. As I know popelscan is German program, so maybe you will find good answers on forums like laserfreak.net
Sergey...
I have used it along time ago. It was OK then. The latest version V4.2 is really nice and could be considered a fully functional all ecompassing laser show software package. I think it is a really nice program that probably gets overlooked quite a bit.... probably mostly because it has a limited number of hardware it supports.
There is also a ton of .MOT and a growing number of .MT2 files out there that would be good to take advantage of.
I am still waiting to be confirmed for a laserfreak.net membership. It has been a little over a week. + I am not that great at German... I need to refresh my brain.
Decix... Thanks for the link! I will comb through that archive.

I thought maybe someone here would have a direct reference to the format. I think I will email the program authors to see if I can get an explanation of the format.
Thanks!
Hihi,
Yes, Popelscan was my first laser software (too)
I still have more the 60MB of .MOT files for it (I think)
Even with shows and including the mp3's.
There are also some links for show download at www.hobby-lasers.startpagina.nl
This is what I figured out about Popelscan 3.1 file format some time ago
I also wrote a program for BMP to MOT conversion but it's in polish onlyCode:150 point delay 0 blank delay 6 number of points 100 0000000000 0 [rotate left][hor mirror][vert mirror][rotate right] ... last digit: pump 10 pic delay 1 1 1 1 360 W max 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 021C9002504802985002849002589402646C [color][x][y] - last frame ... 021C9002504802985002849002589402646C [color][x][y] - first frame -------------------------------- Colors: 02 = R 04 = G 08 = B 06 = RG 0C = GB 0A = RB 0E = RGB new line hex code: 0D0A

Thanks for the information. BTW your tiny RGV laser that you built is super fantastic.
No problem, and nice to hear that
