Alot of hard work, but it paid off!!

Well, as some of you know, I bought a set of scanpro 20's, with mounting them in my original RGY case in mind. Well, I did it, i managed to fit all the required parts ( Galvo's, laser, laser PSU, laser driver, 2 X galvo amps, Galvo PSU and the DMX control board, ASWELL as all the wires!! At this time, its only green, since the red died, and I need to use this thing at a concert on the 1st of August. Unfortunately, the DMX control decided to die, I am working on getting this fixed, but that just means I cant computer controll it (for now, will be fixed VERY soon)

The result: ALOT of unused holes in the baseplate, and a birdsnest of wires...

Here are a few pics with my webcam (Eye-Toy)

Vids to come once the DMX is fixed up!

Amazing how you can cram so much into such a little space eh?


1. DMX in/out
2. DMX dip switches
3. Audio sesitivity
4. Key switch
5. Power input

10. Audio sensitivity pot

There is also a fan, but that one is pretty obvious

The galvo setup. Very simple, no dichro's or anything!

Wow, man thats some grade A engineering! It does look like it was a lot of work. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Lets see some action shots though

As I said, the DMX board is broken, so the laser goes through all the patterns very quickly in "Self test mode". I can do a beamshot for you, but I have no control over the laser lol.

Oh sorry bout that , I read maybe a sentence of your post, but by then my attention was quickly drawn to all the electrical eye candy

Hope you get it running asap, make sure you do some action shots then

Just made a quick vid of the patterns/animations in self test mode. Alot of chinese/japanese ones there, but once I have DMX going again I can skip them. Actually, I may be able to do a quick beamshow in a few. Fog machine is warming up lol.

Those symbols read "fix me!!"

LOL. See if they change when the new DMX board gets here on friday/monday

Off topic: What happened to your 60W co2 ?

Congrats, you've got a Japanese one (as opposed to the low quality Chinese crap). I can see some distinct Japanese characters between the camera blanking.

Nice, all the controls fitted in place of the old parts as well eh?

I might point out though I am pretty sure it wants another colour for some of those effects... You can see on the I love you one, it looks like there should be a red heart there. None the less, good job.

Yeah I was trying to make a TTL merger, didnt seem to work tho :/

Doesnt really matter, I can set it just to green over DMX, and most of the thime it withh just be beamshows.

In theory that should work, I can't see why it wouldn't.

When I wired it all up, the laser just stayed on, lemme make up a circuit diagram of what I did....

Cats broke the tube. Looking for a new one.
