Ok, I just bought (still have to pay, but will pay tomorrow), this "30K" scanner: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=170330436920. It is the laserpic z30 scanner. I don't really know much about scanners, but would want to set this up for CHEAP. I realize I need a DAC to control it, and as far as I know, the cheapest solution is a DIY Sound Card DAC using this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15746 and this: http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/LaserBoy_Correction_Amp.php. I plan on using just my regular pointers for now (using a tripod mount), until I decide to make/buy better modules. Until then, I just want to get it set up. My questions are:
1. Just to see it working, is there anything else I'd need other than the DAC (op Amp correction + USB sound card), the scanners, and a laser (and comp)?
2. How exactly do I configure the Dr. Lava LaserBoy Correction Amp?
I'm sure I may have a few more questions, but until then, help would be appreciated
