No, the set you have posted is not the same. This is the early version 506 (before the dsp driver board) Same as in this thread: https://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php/27911-Various-scanner-SET-ScannerMax-C506-PT-A27-30-kpps-Laserworld-20-kpps?highlight=scannermax+506 And this...

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the amp at least is not a ScannerMax Compact 506 amp. I believe it to be from China. I would probably go out on a even skinnier branch and say the galvo is not a Compact 506 either. See here for what they look like: ...

femtoman, Merci!

Salut Plazmatron, TRÈS BELLE VIDÉO !

This is awesome, I can't wait to see how this turns out! :) I'm sure I saw a supercontinuum video of yours once, where you have a length of PCF? I wonder how it would compare...

Supercontinuum using Multimode Fiber. My guess on Soliton fission in the video is wrong by the way! The brilliant combs in the video are caused by Cascaded Stimulated Raman Scattering (CSRS) alone. You don't see the comb in singlemode Fiber, because Self Phase Modulation smooths them...

I think the intense UV may well destroy the fiber and conventional wisdom suggests as Femtoman notes, a broad input line-width seems to be required. That being said I have read many papers where continuum generation has been achieved with relatively narrow input line-widths, for example the 1064nm...

Glad it helped! It helped remind me that I bought my DT40Pro galvos and drivers back in 2017-18 (never been used as yet) and I need to finish the RGB projector I bought them for. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thank you lasermaster1977!! I remember tuning this controller up to 36k many years ago. Now, after 3 years without using them due to the pandemic, they became very unstable. I'm thinking maybe the problem may be the SD/DMX/Ilda board that is pre-driver. At the time I needed to replace one with a...

Agreed! Well done Greg! For variable software damping, I was thinking of simply averaging a 'n' number of streaming joystick offsets. But, that approach is probably too simplistic to be practical. Anything more complicated makes my head hurt. Thanks for sharing the demo. Great work! :cool:

I wish I was clever enough to come up with the Jackson Pollack comparison! Greg I thought I sent some reverse log 1 meg dual pots there's a Laserium low pass filter circuit for the joysticks...

Greg, Your wiring is sheer artistry (in a Jackson Pollack sort of way!). Forget about the lasers. I'd put your wire harnesses (that's a very generous use of the word "harness"...) into an art gallery themselves! Ron PS. Any high resolution shots you can send of your Osmium would be great....

Its coming together nicely. Your efforts are to be heartily congratulated! Seems like you could use a quad or octal, dual-channel analog multiplexer CMOS switch that uses 2 or 4 bits to select the the desired 1 of 4 or 1 or 8 pair of low-pass filter caps across the buffered joystick XY outputs....

This is the update where we see four channels with joysticking. Tweaking needs be obviously, but it is working. The jitteriness of the images is entirely due to the joystick, and will go away with code for damping. video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVrhhtzZA4E Suggestions open for...

While I had never met Mark, please allow me to offer my condolences on the loss of your friend. Ron

B&B booked. I'll be there on saturday afternoon and sunday morning.

As promised... here is a bit of an update. I'll add more as I find it out. It will most likely be held here at the Executive, where SELEM is held. CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF C. MARK EDGAR... As many of you know, our Marky Mark gained his heavenly wings on Tuesday, January 24, 2023. During...

... Oui, j'ai déjà vu les informations sur le laser et une vidéo des éclairs laser dans l'air - c'est vraiment puissant ! Comme je l'ai déjà écrit - le montage "multi-kilowatt" est un projet que je me suis fixé jusqu'à la retraite - c'est plutôt quelque chose pour le soudage au laser et le...

Macona, I'll send you a ILT thermal switch if you can recompile that program that you wrote for me so it runs on 64 bit windows? >:) I get you the info one way or another. Steve

... en raison du "mélange" dans les fibres, le rayonnement n'est plus cohérent, de sorte qu'il n'y a peut-être de problèmes dans cette direction. Je suis également en train d'essayer de combiner différentes longueurs d'onde pour obtenir une "sursaturation" de l'absorption à la surface - cela...

Très intéressant ! , quel type de diode bleu tu utilises ? quand on superpose plusieurs laser n'y a-t-il pas un problème de perte de puissance du déphasage des diverses sources ?

I just so happen to have an ILT 5500A myself - haven't been on the forums for a while but was doing some research on finding out which mirror to chznge for multiline operation and type, and somehow came across your post. I'll pop the top off mine and give the thermostat a blast with my hot air...

Rest in peace, Mark.

I would also be interested in FabianM's request since I have a very similar DT40 dual driver amp. On mine, I'm assuming the two center 10K pots that are oriented differently from the others and can be turned are for X & Y size adjustments. EDIT: This helps answer the question. I did...

Always sad to hear about a loss especially one of our own

Condolences to his family. Mark , Keep your fingers off the Invert Color switch on the Rainbow generator, probably not a good idea to upset ArchAngels. Rest softly, in a well deserved Peace. I need to go shed a tear. Bye for now, good friend. Steve
