thanks! it was a really fun show to work on. the music allowed me to work out a different style of laser show than i typically do. it felt nice to experiment a little more than usual.

here's a new abstract laser show.. really enjoying these ct2615's and big boy amps. LSX and etherdream, naturally.

thanks for the kind words, everyone. it was a really fun show to do and i had a lot of fun learning new tricks with LSX. i've got a couple more shows on the way so keep your eyes out. ;)

thanks paul! i'm a talking heads purist and don't generally like tom jones very much, but i thought this cover was a little more musically interesting and would be more fun to program to.

i made a new laser show! This is an abstract laser show to the Tom Jones cover of "Burning Down the House". I'm a huge Talking Heads fan, but I thought this cover might be a little more fun to program a laser show to. Made with LSX using an EtherDream Dac and ct6215 galvos.

405nm is pretty much the worst choice of lasers for this application. the human eye is very insensitive to that wavelength so you need lots of power to get good beam effects. a better bet is to use green (532 or 520 are the most common). that way you can turn the power way down for the same...

no, but it's on my list to use as an image rotator.

it's worth a try! here's a link you my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/swamidog

that was actually a double amici prism and not a diffraction grating. i really need to take a shot of my ArKr through it...

always a pleasure to fire up one of the argons in my house.

i'm just going to back away and slowly and huff chemtrails for a while.

no. that's just not a thing with iphones.

you can't ping a phone that's not connected to wifi / cell / computer. none of these things can happen if a phone is turned off.

er... no please explain how a device that's powered off can "track you".

i built a 60W co2 cnc laser cutter a while back. i can't imagine being satisfied using a low powered 445 multimode diode vs. the higher power and better specs of a co2 laser. here's my rig cutting some paper for an art project i'll post about later. ;)

if you're going to sacrifice 90% of your power, why not just use a single mode blue or green diode. ;)

*schwing* make it so. i promise i can blow minds with the laser stuff i *don't* post ;)

i live in santa fe, NM. best mexican food in the known universe, and I have green chile several times a week.

scour ebay for them. they show up from time to time. i think the last one i bought was 75$.

exactly! the rf driver for the pcaom is mounted under the laser. you can see the coax cable coming up from a hole in the breadboard. that's my little holy grail laser with ct620 galvos. such a beautiful little thing: here's a link to some info on pcaoms. they're really the standard for color...
