That's some serious DIY and time investment! Very interested in the DAC. You may have seen that the forum is in some ways trying to get together an open source DAC. What are your plans for this ?

INCREDIBLE! You made all this stuff?? Including galvos???? I'm surprised you held back on the DPSS lasers.

Excellent work!

VERY nice!! I'm blown away by the fact that you built it entirely be hand. Top notch DIYing. NOT A FAN OF YOUR FILE SHARING SITE THAT JUST TRIED TO HIT ME WITH FAKE "ANTIVIRUS" MALWARE!!!!!!

Yes it is true. Everything is home made because I have an workshop with some tools like: lathe, milling machine with divisor head and many other. I buy only the cases and the DPSS and of course the electronic components.

Für 12 Sekunden Käse Laser 'Show' über 20 MB.
Wie anspruchslos sind 'Laserfreaks' geworden / gesunken ?

I don't understand what you want to say. I supoose that you don't like that the file is very big for 12 secconds. This is not my fault. I have a photo camera and this is the result. It is a CANON A710is. Have you a better one? I don't have a better one. I will try to compress it.
About "Laserfreaks" I didn't forget it - you will see.

edit- Looks like a nice product, but 60K scanners? Also, one of the "ILDA in/out" ports should be a male connector.

Only the ILDA DAC is for 60K not the scanners too . I want this for my scanners but in the future.
I didn't have 2 ILDA ports - one male one female. I will buy and change it.

I spent a lot of money in trying to make my laser projector. This is my last 4-5 years work.
There is not an open source for firmware because I didn't make it. I didn't understand that ASM language, nothing, and I don't like it. It is a foreign language for me. I have a friend who made the firmware for me. There is a firmware in laser controller for manage the shows from card and the DEMO from flash memory. There is another firmware for ILDA DAC. You can tell me what you want to know and I will talk to my friend to take some details.

Hi Sinelgy,

Great project! It looks like you've put a heap of effort in, and it's all paid off!

I'm doing a project for my electrical engineering course, and part of it is to use a microcontroller to run a pair of galvos for a laser. I'm currently deciding how I should store the image data in the uC. I've assumed a vector representation would be best, in keeping with the idea of laser imagery being vectors.

My most recent idea is to store the data as a series of splines, but I'm not sure that the microcontroller will be fast enough to recalculate the image paths on the fly.

Is there any chance your friend could give me a hint as to how he's storing/interpreting the images?
