eh but for 468 i can have 30k scanners audiolase dac(used) badpip 4 channel driver and basic lsx

EDIT: 190+75+97+129=483 close enough

I suppose it could work, shit I suppose you could score everything used for $5, it may take some time to get that together though...

hell i haven't even chose my software yet but i do know that FB3 is superior that doesn't mean its in my reach..

Respectfully, we are building laser projectors here, some of us with 3 or more colors. Where the DAC/Software is something like 10% the total projector cost. Do you really want to bottleneck your projector by skimping on the hardware/software configuration? Also don't understand how an Audiolase DAC which is pretty much equally comparable to the Riya cant be justified at the same price, at least with the audiolase you have a couple more channels to do something with. Anyways, I got my QS+FB3 for 468$(can't disclose my source) brand new shipped, and it was at my door 3 days after I placed an order. Time is money, placing an order and having to wait weeks before receiving it form a couple states away sucks. And piece of mind has a price also, I am confident my future laser problems wont be due to dac/software, and if I do have a problem, i'll be backed by something like 25 years of experience and some of the best customer support out there(nothing else on my projector has that kind of support).I hear ya tho, if ya cant afford it ya cant afford it.

Audio DAC's have more bits than RIYA anyways. I agree with what you say about the software/DAC being a fraction of the cost. My GB (was going to be RGB didn't have 800$ for the red) projector (DT 30's a really nice homemade 445 (Prisms + 405-g-1) and a 300mW green laser has cost me around 3000$ (DAC + software included in cost) (First timer, I made a lot of costly mistakes)

500$ Software/DAC isn't much in the grand scheme of things. ESPECIALLY since I will be getting more projectors in the future.

Yep, things start adding up really fast.


... im actually going to keep my audiolase dac only cuz I just figured out how to play laseroids.

oh very very very fast ................

You figures that out? I envy you. I could never figure out how to get Zoofs games working.

lol, and I never had a problem with the Zoof games when I had my soundcard DAC. Infact, they are probably the thing I miss most.

But people need to remember, when buying Pangolin, the hardware price is actually shitall compared to the software price. There have been people saying to me that the FB3 is only like $60 in parts, and I agree, however when you look at the software, that's where your money is going - paying people to develop the software.

The software is free when you buy the FB3

BTW your accent is awesome Things

I got the games working... They just ran for me.. though the color was fucked up... I still have to write that LFI / Easylase guide (and how to fix that problem)....

lol, I didn't even think my accent was that bad until I started talking in my videos, I don't like it at all

And yeah, of course it's free when you buy the FB3, but the point was the FB3 is <$100 worth of parts, the rest of the money is in the software

I'll trade you my accent for yours.

And I know... something like that isn't exactly the most complicated circuit in the world... Your paying for the R&D in both the HW and SW though..
Most things are like that...

i use LSX for a couple of months already and am very happy.
Drlava indeed responds slowly on skype, but when he does, he's very helpful. He actually fixed some bugs i noticed in LSX, and he does it very fast. i also had problems with a cable and he send a complete new one. (although the new one isnt really much better).

i never ever used QS, but know from people with desame hobby that it is not easy to make beamshows. Its all there to make it beautiful but sometimes you have to dit a bit. in LSX its real easy to make a show without alot of knowlegde.

My god! I just got my Panglion QS demo license today and holy shit is it ever amazing... I am going to start saving my pennies! I neeeeeeed it now

HELP!!!!!!

Ok I bought a chicom 1w rgb animation ilda laser. I have LSX and the Riya multibus light DAC. I ran the Riya setting program and tuned as best I could before starting LSX.

LSX has tons of tuning options, but nothing seems to do much really.

First question, on the scanner settings area you can display various test frames. Mine worked, but now doesnt display test patterns. Shows/demos do display when in the main program.

When I did have the test pattern up it looked absolutely horrible. Dots were lines, lines had tails, circles are either incomplete or look like e's.

Also colors dont match whats on screen, I am sure my laser is TTL because I get no shading, and I know that means I have what 7 colors available? But yellow should look yellow, white white, etc etc.

Do these lasers require an internal pot tuning???? Did something get jarred during shipping?

The built in demos dont look horrible, other than they are bad drawings to begin with, but the colors are pretty good. Circles arent always great though.

Not sure what to do at this point.
