First scanner - some beams

[Benm]

Some green beamshots from the first scanner project i'm building ( http://laserpointerforums.com/f47/first-scanner-build-progress-49320.html ). There is no blanking for the green yet, so you see one 'odd' bright beam shooting in the neutral direction. Pics don't look that good compared to the real thing in person, but still nice for a start. In the first pics you can see the screen on the laptop that's driving it (using LFI).

Very nice, I'm tempted to try making one myself. (which will eventually end in failure.)

Cool pictures!
In that other thread you mentioned it's going to include a red laser, so is it still work in progress or it's just going to have a green laser?

Its a work in progress that may take a while to complete. I'm planning to use a 50 mW or so green like in these pictures, and mix in a ~200 mW red. Lots of stuff to sort out though, including waiting on some parts etc.

Nice! Can't wait to see it. That could make a nice yellow.
