I am looking at building a scanner, and I am quite confused about a few things
First, I see a lot of people use sound card DACs. AFAIK, A DAC is basically a USB - ILDA converter. If I pick any lasershow software will it work with any DAC?
Second, on feeBay, I see a lot of DACs (ex: "DAC DESTROYER" HAND SOLDERED USB DAC w LINE / HEAD OUT | eBay). This looks like a sound card. Am I even on the right track?
Third, the lasers plug into the galvo drivers I assume. Does it power the laser, or is it TTL based?
Thanks in advance,
Jacob
