[jamilm9]

I'm sorry if this is posted else ware but i can't find it. how do i work spaghetti.How do i make different animations.

 

[thesk8nmidget]

spaghetti does not create frames. it is simply for making shows sync up to music. and adding some cool effects. that is all.

you need .ild files to create shows.

not really sure what lasers you are referencing.

diy?
and dac is about 60 dollars for the sound card option. and i can get you the scanpro scanners for $185 pm me

and what do you mean by heat sink? for the lasers to go into? about 20 each then.

and the enclosure will probably be more than 30 i paid 40 just for a thick piece of aluminum. thats just a base not a whole case.

well red is diy i have the module.The green is a dx 50/100mw one.
dac http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-5-1-Ch-opti...14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
A heat sink for the glavo amps.How big are they? I might be able to get heat sinks off dx. well i"m hoping i can buy a old vcr or something and use it as a case.

you dont need a heat sink for the amps.

and that is just a sound card you still need an op amp board for that sound card
dr lava sells these.

and you could mount it in a good sized pelican case and have and aluminum plate as your base and this generally works as a big heat sink for everything

 

[jamilm9]

where do i buy the op amp board.I can't find it. :-/

You will also need other bits of aluminium to mount components on before mounting them to the breadboard.

The galvo amps get very hot, they should be mounted up-right on a block as shown below –

andy con said that on his site.http://www.laser-man.co.uk/2006/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=69 is that price always going to be there or is it a limited offer.

 

[thesk8nmidget]

yes but if you simply mount them to your base of aluminum you will be fine.

thats more if you are not mounting them directly to your base like in his picture.

 

[jamilm9]

ok where are the op amp board

 

[thesk8nmidget]

dr lava sells them so they are on his site...

[jamilm9]

sorry for asking so many questions. Do i have to make the board? How would i connect it to the dac? How big of a case would i need to make a rgv which isn't to cramped?

 

[jamilm9]

would this be a better price
80mw green laser $95
200mw red laser $55
Dichros $50approx.
Scanner $185
Dac $60
sheet metal $30approx.
Case $100approx.
Total :Laser show $575approx.

 

[thesk8nmidget]

size depends on a lot of stuff ie lasers and also the power supplies for them.

some people fit 3 lasers one a 12x12 plate of aluminum but most go a little bigger and make it a two level style with all the power supplies and modulations boxes on bottom and then the lasers and optics on top.

and yes you have to make the op amp board but dr lava may be willing to assemble it for you for a little more

 

[jamilm9]

How would i connect it to the dac? how big are the galvo amps?i want to get the size of everything.
