Yes, the Mark VI had two joysticks. Typically one for rotation and one for motion. I've been playing with this design lately. It has spring loaded friction clutches to hold it where ever you leave it. I'm still playing with the design. I haven't decided weather to counter weight the x&y axes.

I'm guessing there were two sticks on there at one time? X & Y

That's absolutely great! Thanks Ron. That has a lot of important info I haven't seen before. It even mentions the KQO, which so far has been shrouded in mystery. The hand drawn waveforms are charming. Photo shows the current state of the SPGN build. I'm sorry I can't post the wiring diagrams I...

... for cleaning better a rotating polygon-scanner ... for engraving big areas with a "weak" laser, better as small the galvoscanner-area, as possible (there are some with 35x35mm) and motorized X,Y,Z. Here my actual engraver, actually only with X-axis attached (but have another setup with XYZ...

Thanks for the info.

From the Tampa Bay Times: Laser light show Also for February, Lifestyle Festivals and Events Company and partner Encore Laser created a drive-in laser show. Nicknamed the “Cabin Fever Laser Light Show,” the 45-minute family-friendly show features mixed genre music, videos on two screens,...

I've looked at systems/options until I'm starting to understand, i think... lol Is Ezcad2/3 and ezcad controller the iShow of laser engraving? Which are the best galvos for the money? 2.5D, or just a motorized Z axis? I am leaning towards motorized X, Y, and Z.

How do you outswim an alligator chasing you? Outswim your buddy!

Also at CPAC. For all of the musicians on this forum. This is genius. I think she's in the key of H sharp flat with a diminished talent. Apparently she won the opportunity to sing at CPAC. Some sort of oral contest, I'm guessing.

Greg, I can't attach the "6B alignment procedure" PDF because of the 5MB attachment limit (it's 14.2MB), but you can get it here: https://media-archive.exploratorium.edu:5001/sharing/1RFDPfuPx There's a section on the spiral generator in there. It's a rough document... Hope this helps. ...

The Corning Museum of Glass would present a hell of an opportunity for some unique lumia as well as fantastic interactions with the galleries themselves. Plus they have an auditorium and a barge!

FIRST Post deleted. I have to mix a similar voice on a weekly basis. ARGH!!! I mute that talent in the headphones when she sings , and press PFL / single channel listen / mute priority on the console so I only hear the keyboards.

I had a dream a few nights ago that we found a new venue for SELEM at a large southern university campus. The auditorium was a huge, amphitheater setup (high raked seating). Very similar to the generic image below And since we had so much space available, we lasered the shit out of that...

Download the various software before you buy anything and try to put a show together. See what fits your style and tech skills. Free spaghetti is a pretty good deal. Steve

... tried to engrave a brass medal - here the first side with a pirate tag -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSrUTRop-2Y - and, because a medal has 2 sides, on the back side my "beloved" Aztec tag -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSvA7fYMrbU It's the first time I engrave round...

I just assembled a LaserBoy Correction Amp and I have an extra USB SND8 sound device. PM me if you are interested. The software is at the link in my signature.

Just get this: https://bitlasers.com/helios-laser-dac/ And after you get it, hit me up and I will give you a free license for this: http://www.spaghettilasershow.com

Low cost / entry level doesn't come in a box.

Thanks guys definitely some helpful information...lucky the seller of the ishow 3.o took it back and I got my 150$ back...I'm up to try the audio dac tech .... send me links to the hardware and software buys ....

I've thought about writing a specialized wave player that would allow you to change parameters as it was playing like x & y gain and offset, color gain, color to scanner delay, channel swapping, etc. But that would be a totally separate app. Having live output from LaserBoy would be kind of weird...

I have a lot of old school equipment in Lexington nc hit me back 3362473081

The demand for it hasn't been there in a long time, honestly. You should make LaserBoy! do all that stuff since that is your domain. How hard is it to add a modern UI and make it so people can use it live?

I'd be thrilled to take those 20K scanners off your hands.:D

So does Spaghetti currently support all that stuff you mentioned about sound cards? If not, it should. It would make it just that much more appealing to people who want to explore the art of laser display on a budget.

I appreciate it but I think I have around 15 DACs laying around. I need to get rid of most of this stuff. I still haven't even taken the 20K scanners I won at my first SELEM out of the bag, yet.

So the moral of this story is that modified sound cards are not reliable because they're prone to getting rolled over by a chair. You got me. That's definitely a deal breaker. You know I could make one for you. Right?

kewl, I’m in SoCal, I’ll get you some pictures soon, but these mirrors are brand new and not used scrap pieces. box full of various sizes and qty. I paid 1,200 for them and never used them.
