Hey looking for some insight help with this project laser show project I'm working for school. I recently bought this galvanometer:

and Ishow 2.3 DAC converter and software. I've been tinkering with this project for about a week and can't seem to figure out why won't the galvanometer spin at all, everything is set up correctly. The galvo setup comes with a separate controller board with an ILDA port, which I have hooked to the DAC. The software and drivers are fully installed and the DAC is recognized (Windows XP). Whenever I try to run a short animation from the program, nothing happens. Mirrors are getting power because they make a whining sound when touched.
Can anyone clue me in on what might be going on? Is there something I'm missing? There was basically ZERO documentation with the salvos, so I'm kinda guessing. Thanks!
