    Hi PM sent

    Hope it helps, it's a bit tricky to describe circuits with words and I don't know how to post drawings as yet!


    Yeah you can get both size and position but not without PSU and opamps.

    So best just go for size for now !

    Cheers

    I'll take a picture of the pots on my splitter box here in a minute; it should help you out.

    This is not a normal splitter box; it is something I requested custom from DZ.

    Something that splits your DAC signal to 2 or more projectors. Here is a PIMP splitter from, again, DZ...

    Just from a quick look at that page, what you achieved is not what I'm trying to make work. And of course it is normal for what I think is a fairly simple project, turns out to be rocket science. Fairly simple I can do. Rocket science is WAY out of my league.

    catalanjo: you have a pm but I'm going to send you another and see if you are interested in something.

    Hi Gene sorry to have confused all this with extra complications.

    Just connect pins 1 & 4 together on each double pot !
    Pins 3 and 6 should come from the DAC (and also go to a second set of pots if "splitting")
    Pins 2 and 5 go to the scanners.


    Do not connect pins 1 & 4 of the separate pots all together !

    Do not turn the sizes down too far cos you will get a single point as a result.

    The rest is all extra cosmetics and not "absolutely" necessary just "nice".

    Cheers

    The box does much more than you want, but it has a set of pots to change the x and y size to one of the scanners recieveing output fromt he box so I can set the main size in Pangolin and then match the one scanner size to the other so they are the exact same size.

    The pots are:


    The connections are:


    Works like a champ.

    Connecting pin25 (ground) to the signals like that will only work well if you have only ONE earth/grounding point in the entire setup, otherwise you will end up getting noise into your signals !

    Cheers
