I hear ya'. I'm an ol' fart, styropyro is a youngster "who likes burning stuff" with lasers, plus knowing and understanding their science. Not my ideal for their use but like him, in my younger days, I and "my comrades in coherent photons" were impressed (briefly, I might add) when our 1 watt, 5...

The Innova 90 manual below has the procedures... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.artisantg.com/info/Coherent_Innova_90_Manual_20207415744.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj6pMTEzIjwAhXVGs0KHQKTDdMQFjAAegQIBBAC&usg=AOvVaw06oZNu25utcTR5PkYGDuYX&cshid=1618776567354

There's a few things I don't like about him but whenever I brought it up I always got a lot of flak from his fans. But I have had others agree with me. I just don't see him as most do. Doesn't mean I hate him but I've seen his dark side and it ain't pretty.

I just stumbled upon this PL thread. wow, I mean WOW. Styropyro is extremely good at making extraordinary videos that are extremely well articulated, and that keeps one engaged if not addicted when considering his topic of choice (and one that is many of our interests). Very impressed also by...

Look in LaserBoy_TUI.hpp The function that starts at line 146. replace it with this: //------------------------------------------------------------------------ u_int next_hue() { // TUI_palette_index += 12;

An unpopulated 352 pc board and rare parts is a good thing to have, though I think undertaking to rebuild the whole 352 infrastructure might not be the best use of my time, at least in the near future. We've seen in the past year that, with sufficient motivation and resources, the abstract...

I'm sorry, I forgot about the size comparison until it was too late. Everything works now though. I can look at the docs and the examples and see if I can get some of my own stuff happening. Now that I can compile LaserBoy, is there a way to replace the rainbow ui text with monochrome? I'm all...

That sounds very much like a Win 32 heap overrun. It shouldn't do that in Win 64. DL the dev version again. https://laserboy.org/code/LB_04_02_2021.zip I just built the exe in Win10 64-bit. It's now in that zip.

I got oscillator.txt and snail.txt to display, but acceleration.txt and animated_forms.txt produce crashes.

Now, if you copy the txt files inside the txt folder in LB_04_02_2021.zip into the txt directory inside of your LaserBoy installation folder, you can open them in LaserBoy. You can also open them in any text editor and look at the script that creates each vector set you see loaded into LaserBoy....

... the biggest scanning mirror I've seen, was 500x500mm square with a 2-axis tilting/scanning setup - 'was meant for a 6kW CO2-laser and a beam expanded to 200mm :cool: Viktor

That's it! You got it! Congratulations, you just compiled The 64-bit Windows version of LaserBoy.

Is that big one real? LOL. It's huge!

Watch TV evangelist Benny Hinn put Darth Vader to shame...

Ok, I think the machine got through all that. Here's the last few lines: -L/c/msys64/mingw64/lib -lmingw32 -lws2_32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,-Bstatic -lgcc -lstdc++ -lpthread -lboost_filesystem-mt -lboost_system-mt -Wl,-Bdynamic strip -s -v ../LaserBoy64.exe copy...

That's huge! Seems like it would be really useful for rapid camera positioning or just carying some really large beam for some insane cutting applications?

That says you don't have the C++ compiler installed. When I installed Msys2 in Win10 I got 3 icons. msys2 mingw64 mingw32 Just out of habit I use the msys2 shell for installing and updating everything.

Yeah, that checked-bag fee sort of became an industry standard a few years ago, and it still pisses me off. The airlines are always complaining about how much easier it would be if people didn't bring so much carry-on luggage. Well, I might consider checking a bag if you: A) wouldn't throw it...

I got this: $ time make -f Makefile.w64 x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe -c LaserBoy2.cpp -o ../build/LaserBoy2.o64 -D__MINGW_LASERBOY__ -D__WITH_SDL2__ -Dmain=SDL_main -I/c/msys64/mingw64/include -L/c/msys64/mingw64/lib -lmingw32 -lws2_32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc...

Copy the folder src_04_02_2021 into the LaserBoy folder you got when you unzipped the current. Then open the Msys2 shell and from it, cd to the src folder you copied. Then issue the command time make -f Makefile.w64 Let me know what happens. Oh yeah... since Msys2 is like a Linux...

I have LaserBoy_Current.zip and LB_04_02_2021.zip decompressed, and MSYS is open. What do I do to compile?

Hello, I did a quick synopsis of the old and new manuals of the radiator. You can browse the files side by side. Download, unzip, double click. It should render fine in any browser. Hope this helps all the curious people. The differences are only the mention of ILDA in (Page 18) and minor...

Much appreciated. I did not know about the checked bag feeO_o.

J I used Priceline. Nothing special. I have often used Google Flights as well. As far as flying out of Texas, airports I have familiarity with are DFW, Houston Hobby, George Bush Int., Austin and, whatever San Antonio's airport is. Family has used Killeen Regional several times to get to...

If your buddy wants to help out with load-in on Sunday, that would be appreciated. But I can't see a need for any scaffolding. To be honest, we haven't used scaffold at SELEM in years. We will have the big triangle truss and Wil's smaller box truss available for projectors on the Club-SELEM...

ATM I should consider all possible ways excluding driving especialy solo --Displaser has miles to use.. myb we can fly together..NO WAY WILL i NEVER DRIVE SOLO AGAIN. Which airports are best choice?. To get the best deal when should I try to book? which airline? ty for any help Im flying...

Hi Winni. How much is a 50 watt unit? Do you have pictures? Thank you.

I just flew round trip Baltimore - Dallas for $59 on American.
