Do we have arrangements with the other Holiday Inn yet. I just booked my flight and was thinking about a room now.

I'll keep you updated and post pictures of previous years. So if you get one you will need a base too? Right?

I didn't get one of these last year - I got the coaster. But, I'm thinking about one for this year. I'll be curious if the 2021 ends up reproducing ok. If so, I'd want that once since it's the first SELEM I hosted.

oh! that gives me an idea.

Don't threaten me with a good time! *retardo Adam

it's going to take the both of us to hold him still.

You have the ability to do that too. :rotfl:

i'd sponsor laser engraving the logos into buffo ;)

Adam, Thank you for the compliment. I will start converting the artwork into something that can be cut right away. I would prefer if you waited on payment until I at least verifiy that they look good being laser cut\etched. I don't see any issues but you never know until you try. I will post...

Delivery by trebuchet?

Ok, thanks. The projector I have will be a bit expensive to ship over the border. Sorry

I really liked these last year, Chris! For sure I'm going to want one this year, once we decide on the logo. Since I already have the base, I'd just need the plastic logo part. Honestly, if you are willing to make copies of the previous logos, I'd love to have one for every year. (Kinda like...

Ontario, Canada.

Where are you located? I might have one available.

He's also not exactly a beginner. He knows a lot about the software he wants to develop. He just wants a good prototyping laser projector.

That's what I get for surfing PL when I am working and splitting my attention!

he's looking for a laser, not a dac.

Pangolin Quickshow with an FB3 controller is a very good option for a beginner. Simple interface and very easy to apply effects to shapes. List price used to be $595 but if you look around for deals from reputable vendors, you can get one for right around $500. The FB3 has a standard ILDA...

I remember when I ported my app from strictly Linux to multiplatform. I had no way to experiment with building it on MacOS. At first it didn't seem like a big deal, but I found out there were lots of people who wanted to try it on Mac. In my case, it turned out to be all about how to compile it,...

Thanks all for the replies. Vidal -- I know exactly what you're referring to with the silver front surface mirrors. I don't use these inside the cavity but I use them outside the cavity to steer the alignment laser and yes, when I reflect an IR beam from them it does some pretty unruly things when...

So I've been thinking about this new Liberation laser show software for a while, and I finally decided to reach out to the developer (Seb) to chat about it. We were able to connect via a Zoom meeting, and what started out as a brief Q&A session turned into a 2 hour chat! :) I found Seb very easy...

I like this one the most, so far.

I know those feels. I have been working on this Lumia projector for about 13 years now. And by "working on it" I mean, I have really only been working on it for the last 3. The previous 10 years involved gathering parts, designing, redesigning, and alerting the design. Part of that was due to...

AI String: Logo with Pink Floyd Prism Laser Show Laser Conference Helium Neon Laser Tube

Why was I not notified of this chance to use my excellent skilz in Walleye Vision, Er... Paint. 5 minute draft of what WILL be the shirt logo, no exceptions... Cleanup by commercial artist might be appreciated as I cannot afford Photoshop or new Glasses... Till I win the coming lawsuit. ...

Honestly surprised you didn't end up with something like this for that second one: (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK_FiRm6ZK8) Adam

Well, after thinking about this for a while, I decided to give it a try as well! Ordered the stepper motors from China, and also ordered both the drivers and an adjustable squarewave generator from Amazon. Probably going to have to wait a while to get the steppers delivered, but we'll see I...
