Hi all, (I hope this is the right sub forum to post in) first post and new member here from Australia. Great resource and community you guys have!
My love of lasers began in the mid 90's, where i had the opportunity to control a friends argon laser he built from parts, including home built DAC and live controlled laser software.
I have been reading much on LPF, PL and LB, learning all that i can about lasers and custom building an RGB laser projector. .
While i understand, i should start with the odd laser pointer build (AXIZ, O-like modules), as a way to familiarize myself with lasers. Unfortunately, greater than 1mw laser pointers are banned (without a license?) in Australia due to a number of IQ deficient idiots pointing lasers at aircraft and police helicopters.
I was thinking of either RGB or RGV projector with analog modulation similar to Andy_Con's build here http://laserpointerforums.com/f47/my-tiny-tiny-1watt-rgv-build-44594.html.
what do you all think?.
Build:
Red 250mw> 635 laserwave module
or
Red dual 275mw red 660nm diode build
Green 150mw> Laserwave module
Blue 100mw> 473nm laserwave module
or
Blue dual 215nm blue 405 diode build
Galvos:
z30s from Laserpic or Scanpro30's from Lasershow Parts
I thought about ScanLSPs but i was advised they are not so great.
RGB Dichroic kit to suite
DAC from Pangolin (FB3)
I would have to ask someone trusted here to build the dual diode builds with Dr Lavas driver with laser orb added - as this is something i couldn't do.
I've searched for a detailed build on dual builds but thus far has proved elusive.
Cheers
Greg
Revised build is as follows
Dual or Quad build with 660 Red LOC Diodes (build to include lasorbs, flexmod 3 etc)
Green ?
Blue 445nm build running at 300 to 500mw
RGB kit to suit
DZE Breakout board
Scanners - Lasershowparts
DAC (Undecided)
Case?
