RGV labby, first run

[FireMyLaser]

I sort of know what it would look like but I'll try it.

WOW those pics are great.

I asked a long time ago about the price, but you left out the cubes and other parts for combining the lasers.  

Check the first post, I used the 803t sled optics.

Very nice! +1

Have you tried a diffraction grating? Uber cool with a white. Here are some pics I snapped back in Nov. 07. Powers are 50mW 488nm, 50mW 532nm, 200mW 655nm if I remember correctly.

Holy shi-! I have to rep you back, that is awesome. What diffraction grating(s) did you use? I don't have any, I'm thinking about getting this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12337. Just for the diffraction grating.

They're cheap film-gratings. $1 or less if you know where to look. Pseudo should know of a good source as he gave two away with every laser he sold.

-Thanks!

More things! I can't stop taking footage of this thing haha.

Now being diffused by a metal surface:

Beams:

This costed me a few pixels...


Outside with a little fog, so I used a long exposure:

Cool stuff! Hadn't seen it before!

Wow, great work FML. You set the standard that we can aim for. And provided the photos to show why we want a RGV.

Cheers guys, I'm running out of ideas here. [smiley=laugh.gif]

 

[Xer0]

your Tunnel is awesome madness!! can easily combat with any galvo scanner at partys! how it works? ;D

 

[FireMyLaser]

It's just a spinning mirror at a small angle.

A new vid with a new RGB-controller.



Edit: leet!

 

[ideas]

wow magnificent!

 

[lamborgini8]

Awesome, love the tunnel video!

 

[wolfblue]

I said it before...I'll say it again...WOW. I'll say it a few times...WOW,WOW. WOW.

That color controller on the spinning mirror..... WOW

[CRFultz]

Your using a new controller? What happened to the old one? Did you swap over to FlexMods?

 

[FireMyLaser]

I still have the old controller, or IC. I have a few different IC's now so I'm using sockets so I can easily switch between them for different effects.

This is the IC that I'm using now, still with the schematic seen in the other thread: http://www.bigclive.com/rgbcont.htm

I said it before...I'll say it again...WOW.  I'll say it a few times...WOW,WOW. WOW.

Thanks. Funny how simple the effect really is. ;D

 

[lamborgini8]

Your tempting me to spend a heck of a lot of money here...

You know that pinwheel effect seen in your "awesomeness" video was exactly what I had envisioned doing. But this RGB chip will make it easy. I was trying to think up something much more complicated. You saved me time, money, and a bunch of space on a circuit board.

Thanks for showing that IC. I ordered 3 yesterday
I started ordering some other things yesterday also But this ones gonna take awhile.
