photonlexicon.com is a great source, and we can probably answer most question.. but the best info is at http://www.laser-man.co.uk/

by who.

jamilm9 has had the avatar since like, forever. Never seen anyone else with it

i've had it since Apr 11th, 2008, 10:02am

That was before I registered on these forums, so forever from my perspective

wow you have a lot of posts

yea that avatar's his in my book also hmm i dont have a book that actually says that trippy man trippy :

so how would i wire a scan Pro up.I want to make a rgy. How would i put it together and how would i connect it to a searl port.I also want to eventually change it to a rgv.How big of a case would i need.

really look at photonlexicon

spend a few hours searching about your questions.

but here is the ilda standard for wiring to a serial port.

for some reason i can't sign up.

not sure i would try again

i've tried 5 times.

I'm sorry if this is posted else ware but i can't find it. how do i work spaghetti.How do i make different animations.

spaghetti does not create frames. it is simply for making shows sync up to music. and adding some cool effects. that is all.

you need .ild files to create shows.

would this be right
50mw green laser $85
200mw red laser $55
Dichros $50approx.
Heat sinks $20approx.
Scanner $274
Dac $23
Case/sheet metal $30approx.
Laser show $537approx.

not really sure what lasers you are referencing.

diy?
and dac is about 60 dollars for the sound card option. and i can get you the scanpro scanners for $185 pm me

and what do you mean by heat sink? for the lasers to go into? about 20 each then.

and the enclosure will probably be more than 30 i paid 40 just for a thick piece of aluminum. thats just a base not a whole case.

well red is diy i have the module.The green is a dx 50/100mw one.
dac http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-5-1-Ch-optic...1%7C240%3A1318
A heat sink for the glavo amps.How big are they? I might be able to get heat sinks off dx. well i"m hoping i can buy a old vcr or something and use it as a case.

you dont need a heat sink for the amps.

and that is just a sound card you still need an op amp board for that sound card
dr lava sells these.

and you could mount it in a good sized pelican case and have and aluminum plate as your base and this generally works as a big heat sink for everything

where do i buy the op amp board.I can't find it. :-/
andy con said that on his site.http://www.laser-man.co.uk/2006/inde...&Itemid=69 is that price always going to be there or is it a limited offer.
