You have 100% of the LB source code in the src dir. I wrote an explanation of how to install MinGW so you can compile it on your own Windows machine. It's way easier in Linux. LB has effect functions that work on a single frame, some selected frames or the whole frame set to make animations....

Haha, the text-based navigation is just so refreshing. so much point-and-click these days... I saved out a DXF file from 3DS Max with a simple two-point line, then replaced the text between "ENTITIES" and "ENDSEC" with the text between those items in the LaserBoy DXF, but I still get an error...

You have no idea how much that makes me laugh. That's awesome. :) Please feel free to ask questions. Do you know C++ by any chance?

Oh, I did not know that DXF files are plain text! Now I understand what you're saying - I'll give that a shot and see if I can get it to work! Thanks again! I'm having a lot of fun digging into LaserBoy. Love the text-based interface.

Thanks Beau! I started on the code about 2 months before the end of 2003. Yes there is a lot to it. It is more than 55K lines of active code. Have you tried to create a simple DXF file from one of your apps and copying the ENTITES section from the LB dxf export into the place where the...

Whoa, I've never used LaserBoy before, awesome piece of software! Damn, you've put a ton of work into this. Really impressive. I tried exporting a dxf - thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I can't get Corel Draw or 3DS Max to import the dxf file (I get an "eLayerGroupCodeMissing" error in 3DS Max,...

LaserBoy can save ILDA as a *.dxf file but it only saves the ENTITES section where the drawing primitives are saved in a DXF file. So your CAD app might be able to read it as is or you might have to cut and paste it into an empty dxf file saved from your app. LB can also read DXF files with the...

Hello! New mounts are in production, we can offer these. Which qty is needed? BR

robots lasers children....hummm what could happen there. Skynet maybe.

You'll be back. It's like this.....you go once....you go always. If you don't we come find you. Welcome to the family.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I am actually quite interested in LSX for abstract show production but I’m not sure if it’s the right fit for people who have never used lasers before. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems like it’s a little less intuitive and less graphic oriented. And regarding...

I felt the video was a bit heavy-handed and misrepresented the issue. When talking about the dangers of laser pointers the video always references "high power" laser pointers which may have "fake labels". Why is there no mention of safe, legal, low power (Class 3A) laser pointers? By lumping all...

Just revitalizing this thread. Over the summer we hired an additional four people, but we're still looking to grow and add more to the team, particularly in the field of Embedded Systems. If you have any experience in this area or know anyone who does, please contact jobs@pangolin.com.

I'll just leave this here to show some of the cool effects we're getting from the updated abstract engine. ;)

Have you reached out to pangolin to see if they have an educational discount. Also if projection is only done at the school does the demo version of QS allow you save? If so you would only need one hardware box.

But lasers can be toys. They're given away as SWAG. They're sold widely to play with cats. They're included in construction type toy kits. They're sold with diffractive optic tips to allow play. They're the subject of a hobby, essentially play toys for adults. Lasers are toys, like it or not....

No I still have a few ions in storage, they are due for there start ups*warn I had to dump a lot of gear..with the move and all, and now the little one:) Im messing around with robotics some...just more stuff to clutter up the house*retardo

This can be an other and cheaper solution for your educational project : https://innolasers.com/shop/index.php?id_product=24&controller=product

Hope we will see you at SELEM 2020.. Len

welcome back, would love to see you at SELEM again. Try Alex (mariomaster) for your arduino. He has done a few with lasers including a high power green a couple years ago with heaters and TECs. Did you end up dumping everything? Hard to start from scratch again :)

BUMP: Now willing to pay $300 I'm also willing to buy only one if you don't have two on hand. Feel free to send me a PM.

Glad I was able to film it. It was definitely a highlight for me, having never seen a show with so many projectors before. SELEM was an experience I will never forget. :)

Good to see you.

We missed you! Just goes to show that you can't stay away from gas lasers too long. It is in the blood.

Thanks guys! Oh a side not...anyone know how to program ardurno or robotic coding?

Nice to see I missed that

LSG now supports IDN DACs as requested :)
