Hello, I have just registered but I've been lurking these boards for a while
I have just received a 20 kpps Galvo set I bought from ebay
20Kpps HightSpeed galvo scanner (max35Kpps) | eBay
Thing is, I have figured out how to plug everything but I am a bit at loss as to how to control it (And the pdf leaflet that comes with it is no help at all)
I know I need a soundcard DAC for the signal and I already have an external soundcard (with only a single output though), but I don't know what sort of signal I should be outputing
My final application is not related to light shows so I probably won't be using softwares such as LFI player in the end but I would use such software at least to begin with so I can tune my galvos with the ILDA test pattern
So far I have been quite unsure of what to plug where as to the control signal and what to output, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
EDIT: From what I got by reading manuals of various systems, the input seems to be simply a DC voltage that tells the driver what angular position to get (I figure the driver then turns it into a PWM signal that feeds the galvo itself), thing is the input cable has 3 pins, IN+ IN- and G
I'm pretty sure G is ground and IN+ is probably my signal but what is IN-, the same signal but inverted? that would seem a bit weird
