Genesis Project: my RGB White Rainbow - Proof of Concept build.

Alaskan said:

CDBEAM, think of the possibilities PBS combining two of these modules to make a double power unit

Yes, because achromatic waveplate is very very expensive, I think the best way could be rotating 45º all diodes in one unit and combine 2 with broadband PBS.

It could be also possible to knife edge outputs from two PBS combined units, to get 4 units combined.:san:

Their website says 638nm, LPC826 is 655nm.

I think most probably it is a Sharp 638 180mW single mode. I have one here, spot is nice, but it also have wings like Arcticdude noticed

Sorry Andrew for posting your thread..

I just wanted to share that I made some progress today. Here is short video of slightly modified RGB controller from Bigclive.com


Video link >

Programs:

1. Morph and hold with vibrant colours. Hold adjustable in 16x3 second increments.

2. Morph and hold with over 16 million colours. Hold adjustable in 16 steps.

3. Sweep continually between vibrant colours. Speed adjustable in 16 steps.

4. Rainbow. Can be stopped and started on any colour using option button.

5. Rainbow continuous. Speed adjustable in 64 steps.

6. Colour burst. Steps between random colours at 32 speeds.

7. Colour strobe. 32 speed settings.

8. X-fader. Classic two channel cross fader with 32 speeds.

9. Juddermeister. Shuddering random colours with 16 speeds.

10. Hazard. Two channel hazard warning strobes in 16 styles.

11. Psychodelatron with 16 speeds (violent).

12. Colour touch. Explore infinite colours with a single button.

Hey that's so cool ArtcicDude, looks good!

I've received all the parts I need now for mine but I'm waiting until the new year so I can put it together.
Too much happening around the home and haven't got time to put it together atm.

Thanks Andrew!



Just ordered even more programs on chip for 5 USD



1. Morph and hold with vibrant colours. (Hold delay adjustable in 3 second increments.)

2. Morph and hold with bright colours. (Hold delay adjustable.)

3. Morph and hold with full spectrum colours. (Hold delay adjustable.)

4. Red marker to help you find your way through the programs.

5. Sweep continually between vibrant colours.

6. Sweep continually between bright colours.

7. Sweep continually between full spectrum colours.

8. Green marker.

9. Indie dim with each colour "rambling" independently.

10. Indie dim pastels (all colours 25% min).

11. Blue marker.

12. Rainbow. Can be stopped and started on any colour using option button.

13. Rainbow continuous. (Speed adjustable)

14. Black marker.

FX routines below can only be accessed when unit is in FX mode.
To lock and unlock FX mode, hold both buttons in for about 15 seconds until the output changes from blue to either red (locked out) or green (unlocked).

15. Colour burst with vibrant colours. (Speed adjustable.)

16. Colour burst with bright colours. (Speed adjustable.)

17. Colour burst with full spectrum colours. (Speed adjustable.)

18. Cyan marker.

19. Colour plasma lightning. (Speed adjustable.)

20. White plasma lightning. (Speed adjustable.)

21. Colour strobe. (Speed adjustable.)

22. Windswept flame effect. (3 independent.) (Speed adjustable.)

23. Subtle flame effect. (3 independent.) (Speed adjustable.)

24. Rainbow trail. Fast cycle of primary colours to create a colourful trailing effect on fast moving reflective objects or water droplets. The colours cycle so quickly that the output appears to be static white. (Speed adjustable.)

25. Jewel fountain. Similar to rainbow trail but with random vibrant colours, especially designed for fountains to make the droplets of water sparkle with random colours. Best used where the light is not directly viewed due to a shimmering effect. (Speed adjustable.)

26. X-Fader. A standard speed adjustable cross fading effect between the red and blue channels.

27. Peppers Ghost. An automated cross fade with hold delay adjustable in 16 3-second increments.

28. Juddermeister. A wild psychedelic effect which alternates rapidly between pairs of random colours.

29. Hazard. Specifically designed for LED hazard warning lights. This effect strobes alternately between the red and blue channel with 8 speed options in one style and 8 in another style.

30. Random fixed full colour. (Reselectable with option button.)

31. Random fixed vibrant colour. (Reselectable with option button.)

32. White marker.

Can't wait for the unvail of both these lasers. Should be quite a show. Looking forward to it on a big way. Best wishes to both your builds. Keeping my finger on the drool button!

That's a lot of mode of operations. That should be amazing.

I have already asked CDBEAM if he could do that, we might, but the next one he builds for me will be two knife edged RGB to white units with a beam expander on their outputs. Not sure how well the BE will work with the knife edged output, but we will find out.

Last parts for build have arrived. Matek dual 5V & 12V Power distribution board.

Greetings from Berlin btw.

Nice, gimmee

Yikes...NICE controls !!! You's guys r'maken me head spin !! That is a S-boat of options !!!... Thanks for blaz'in the trail !! :san::san:

Alaskan and I will push the envelope on the dual build angle...and maybe incorporate your explorations in controls !!

Fun times !!

Nice one Arctic !
As you know, through our PMs, I've bought the two Regulators for my build.
One for the 5v and one for the 12v supply (see below).



They're tiny and I'll see how they perform.
In the mean time I've ordered one of those boards that Artic bought too:
Matek dual 5V & 12V Power distribution board

After talking with Artic I was a bit worried that the two regulators I bought might be too small and not able to handle the power so I'm holding off till the Matek Dual Regulator arrives and then I'll proceed with which ever one is more suitable for my build.

So hang in there guys, I'll begin the final construction of my Genesis RGB build within the next few weeks (work permitting).

My RGB host design is almost ready, just need to do few minor changes. Host material is going to be PETG.
I'm gonna start new thread when I got all host parts printed. I will release host design as Open Source.

Tune it, Improve it, modifiy it, sell it... I don't care.



3D View >

looks like metal, nice design. Looking forward to this one.

Very nice ArcticDude, had fun exploding your model.
Also from a design point of view, good CAD work. :beer: +rep

Thanks Curtis! I'm glad you liked it..

BTW.. I updated 3D view, if you're interested..
