Default New stuff coming to Spaghetti soon

Just wanted to let you know of some new stuff coming to Spaghetti. I'm almost finished adding multi-projector support so if you have 2 dacs and 2 projectors you can write a show that sends completly different images to each one. It will be a nice way to combine beam shows and graphic shows. I know most people only have one scanner but with the prices getting as cheap as they are I think that might change.

I'm also adding support for TTL and DMX devices so that you can easily control foggers, lumia wheels, strobes, or even those cheap DMX controller laser scanners. You could even create shows that only use these devices (no lasers) and create some pretty cool light shows I guess.

There will also be a lot of improvements to the user interface once I get the above finished and bug free. I am also going to improve the blanking/optimization routines. And, I have a lot more planned, too!

AWESOME!! I can't wait! Will this DMX support allow me to cue frames and sequences and sync them to a live beat? That's a feature I'd love to see from Spaghetti.. Can't wait to hear more about this..

Yes, you will be able do that but you will need a DMX controller and a DMX controlled scanner. Most of the cheap scanners come with a DMX card and a basic USB-DMX controller will run you about $60. I guess that is one alternative to a full blown setup with a DAC.

There is a lot of stuff you can do with DMX like control relays, or dim lights, control fog machines, etc. Look into it if you are interested.

Unfortunately, yes and it is out of my control. You will not be able to use two sound card DACs at the same time due to a limitation of the soundcard drivers. You would be able to use 1 sound card DAC and another non-sound card DAC, though. Maybe in the future you will be able to use 2 sound card DACs but I don't know for sure.

DMX control sounds awesome. I need to buy a new sound card and rebuild it, I miss Spaghetti and all those Zoof games ...

Yes, it is laser show software. It is for making laser shows that are synchronized to music. It is timeline based and the idea is that you drag laser animations onto the timeline so that they are played with the music. In addition, the new things I am working on will allow you to control other things like lights, fog machines, etc. You could even use it to make your Christmas lights play shows.

You would need a fogger with TTL or DMX control. A cheap walmart fogger won't have either of those. But, you can buy TTL or DMX controlled relays pretty cheap that you could use to control them. You'd need to know a little about electronics to get it going.

I converted my fog machine to DMX using a DMX relay kit:



If anyone wants some help with doing that I would be happy to help

I read on PL that you were having electrical problems with that when the fog machine turned on. Did you solve that problem? If so, how?

The problem is with the fog machine itself, the pump induces EMP into the mains power line (Which I havent fixed yet, but it is fine at larger distances), the remote itself works flawlessly

Did the fog machine freak out your computer before you added the DMX controller?

Yes, it also caused my Moncha (When I had it) to disconnect. What's strange is both these devices use a FTDI USB interface. Maybe the FTDI interfaces are just more sensitive than others ...

For all you Spaghetti users out there, i uploaded an Alpha version of version 1.9 that supports multiple projectors. If you are interested in trying it out then check out this thread on the LaserBoy forum:

Spaghetti 1.9.0.0 ALPHA version download

I will update that thread with progress so check there.

Hey Gary,

I just bought a version of Spaghetti, can't wait to check it out. Hopefully my scanner and sound card DAC work correctly *crosses fingers*

thanks,
Kendall

Based on the fact that you have tested them with your DMX card, I'd say you're in the clear..

Yep, I just sent the license file to you.

Just a note, the alpha version that is linked above is not very stable at this point so you should use the version that is on my webpage (1.8.1.15).

I released a new version of Spaghetti today. 1.9.0.0 Beta 1. It is beta until the tires have been kicked around a bit. However, it is stable so I wanted to release it in Beta form. This version supports multiple projectors and TTL and DMX controlled devices.

While this version is in Beta I will begin working on some other cool new features. One of the new features will be very nice for those who like beam shows.

Enjoy!

Lightbulb Re: New stuff coming to Spaghetti soon

Just a quick suggestion for those that have apparates that produce EMP from power line (and disturbe other apparates) ..... if you don't want to buy complete filters (those little boxes with 3 wires at one side and 2 wires at the other, usually not cheap ), you can get the same thing, also if open-frame, or at least the needed coils and capacitors for build them, from old PC psu units (also burned, the filters usually are the more resistant thing of all the PSU ) ..... sometimes is made on the psu pcb, and you need to desolder the components and rebuild it on a protoboard or similar, some other time is integrated directly in the power socket (if you're lucky to found these ones, cause usually only professional units uses this type), some other time are in the form of a little PCB soldered directly on the power socket, like these ones



I use them in a lot of applications, with good results
