FS: White Fusion Laser Mixing Kit

[DjHeadie]

Sorry for the delay DJ. My time in Canada was extended another week. I am here in the states again and will have it in the mail first thing in the AM.


Thanks,

Ryan

saw the paypal email! thanks ryan, looking forward to this coming in, just am going batty waiting for one of the drivers!

Anybody want to post a pic of the PL Chroma using a 445nm? I don't think my old computer can download that program. I would base it around the red, since that would probably be the lowest power, since +150mW green are available and +1W of 445nm are available. Not a high enough power of red is available from a simple DVD or Blu ray Burner and is therefore the limiting factor. Maybe 350mW of red? That would be best case scenario unless you get a freak SmOC. I remember someone tested a 400mW red but then had worse test results later. Also I was thinking, how should we refer to a projector that uses a 445nm diode. Would it still be RGB? I was thinking RG(BV) for (Blue-Violet). I'll try to download that program. Thanks.

Edit: 250-300mW of red on the Chroma is probably best actually. It's been a long laser break.

Here you Go.

Amazing what a few nm can do... I'm not sure these diodes can go that low. For safety sake I like the power being lower on portable units.

Received it yesterday! thanks again, its gorgeous, gonna take me some time though, im sure of that.

I'm not sure these diodes can go that low.

They can.

Threshold is, as a result of it's definition, zero coherent output, and power ramps up linearly with current from there. There will technically be some incoherent LED-action (tiny, and won't make it through the optics in any significant amount, but laser diodes always turn on at zero power. The threshold current may be very high, but the laser output power at that point will still start from zero.

 

[ZRTMWA]

Wow, that's way too low. That's red is really the limiting factor in these. We need to find a new nm to use for red. 635 would really work because of focusing issues. Imagine what red would be at if the BV was actually running at 1W.

It took me two hours to download that program. Then I realized it only works with Windows. I have Linux. FFFFUUUUUUUU

 

[FireMyLaser]

No way I would trade 660nm for 635nm. 660nm makes a MUCH sexier magenta!

 

[pullbangdead]

I believe Photon Lexicon has had groupbuys for some 642nm diodes that would work excellently. Nice compromise between the color/power/chromaticity.

Is Chroma still available for download anywhere?

Peace,

I downloaded it a while ago, but never got it to run... Apparently you need something called MCR 7.9, which is supposedly a part of SolidWorks.

I've uploaded the file for you though: Deposit Files

 

[charliebruce]

Isn't MCR "MatLab Compiler Runtime"? If so there's a download of it in the Chroma directory. I could perhaps get copies of the DLLs required, if anyone can tell me what they are (and they're not copywrited)?

Oh yeah, that's right.. Matlab, not solidworks. D'oh!

Yes, they're copyrighted, but it's a free download. They're licenced for free distribution, you don't need a matlab license to use it.

 

[pseudolobster]

Here's the support files:
Download Expertomica Metabolite Profiling from SourceForge.net

Looking into it, I'm not actually sure what the licencing terms are. Some sites say you need a matlab licence to run it, others say it's a freely distributable support library. Either way, I got it running now, so I'm happy.

 

[ZRTMWA]

So just to make sure I'm understanding things correctly, Tocket's chroma ( Chroma - a laser color blender ) will not work anymore without the support files?

I'd like to get one of these!
Sent you a pm

Hi Wiched1,

I got your PM. I have been quite busy with my new position with my regular work and it has slowed down my production of the white fusion kits. You are second in line but it will still be next week till I can do any work on producing one for you. There is quite a bit of prep work that can be done prior to having the kit in hand that will make putting it all together short and sweet. Having your lasers columated and drivers set to the desired output for each to make them ready to slip into the kit and do the alignment is a great head start.


Thanks,

Ryan
