Thanks, man! The bearings on this wheel were surprisingly smooth. Not sure if grease was used in these to begin with though I kind of doubt it. Regardless, they were filthy and had gunk in them when I first got the wheel. Since this wheel came from a moving light, I'm sure it was in a club with...

I appreciate that, but I already have a Spaghetti license and a dongle. It still works fine. But where is this laser cam functionality? I've not seen that anywhere in the menus.

Yes. I also tried contacting both innolasers.com and the e-mail in the app itself.

WOW! That thing is awesome. Great job on the construction and performance. I really like the design and layout. Thanks for describing the effects in the wheel. I have seen the star effect but did not realize there was a star filter available - now it makes sense. P.S. you got some great...

The motion looks nice and smooth. The first production rotator I ran into at laserium used a thin wall aircraft bearing that I had to press out and use emery paper to slip fit to avoid a really gritty motion due to the press fit distorting the bearing. Nice job with the gear!

If it doesn't work out with innolasers let me know and I'll give you a free license to Spaghetti which has similar laser cam functionality.

have you tried copying your license file into the lasercam directory and trying to open it with the dongle also plugged in?

They were OC's for a 444 nm pumped cavity to PR:YLF crystal to produce 607 nm, a company in Lithuania made them for me, I need to dig out the info to give you a name, escapes me right now. Edit: Optogama. I need to find the invoice, the email account I used in the past is now disabled, but I have...

Could you share what did you order (roughly, exact specs aren't critical), where and for how much? I'm trying to come up with open source manufacturer DB.

Yep, it's confirmed, chatgpt is stupid. I cannot rely on them for good answers. For my own projects, I don't want to use a lens which isn't AR coated either, but difficult to find what I need with coatings. I had to special order some OC mirrors made with the coatings I needed once, cost me near...

And that's because GPTchat is stupid! SHG as the name suggests will always output 532nm from 1064nm, but if phase matching condition is not matched the output power will be very, very low. There's another option - DFG which would downconvert signal to MIR signal and idler but without extreme input...

Last I heard the ebay seller I linked to thinks he has what he needs. On another subject, highjacking this thread for only a short while, does anyone know what the SHG output wavelength would be for a KTP crystal which is cut for a 47.5 degree phase angle when pumped with 1064 nm, for either...

Old school stuff the big theme parks use comes from Precision Projection in Ceritos, CA. www.ppsfx.com and not everything is on the web page, you might have to ask. In the heyday of fiber remoting large lasers, PPS was/is the cat's meow. The brothers Hannigan are very cool people. Steve

Lasermaster1977: you and me both. I play lead guitar on our worship team and a song I learned a few weeks ago will be lost from my memory the next time I play it. Getting old has it's moments.

Thanks Lasermaster1977. This is really great info. I need to think about all it and put a plan together. At the moment I have zero blanking setup so I will need to put it all together - scanner, mount, flag, scan amp... this will take a couple weeks and then revisit this topic. Just not...

You might also want to check out the Rosco X24 X-Effects projector. This seems to have the effect you're looking for. Plus I think you can change the pattern glass and probably add a gobo for additional effects.

Closest I have found are a 105W no-name one on ebay that looks good but not as good as the Disney ones, the other is the ADJ H20 which doesn't look as good, either. I also doubt Disney has anything from ADJ in their parks! So, These might be some custom jobs. Curious if they might be video...

To use the 555 output to feed a blanking drive circuit I would recommend a method that would lightly load its pin 3, i.e. a digital buffer. Another 555 could be used for this buffer and its output would then feed whatever scan driver circuit you have. I should add that a CMOS inverting buffer...

Thanks for the Files!:)

Thanks for the Files!:)

Thanks Lasermaster1977. I'm reliving some of the same joys that Greg has. Currently not using any laser diodes at the moment. Just using some old HeNe's and a DPSS laser I had laying around. I was just going to use a scanner to test blanking. I'll see if I can put together a circuit that...

Congrats Kevint! Nice image results, too. Many times it is just the simple things. You couldn't use the 555's output directly as a blanking signal since it is 0-15v. Some some down scaling and buffering would be needed to get down to a 0-5v signal. But, I don't recall what you are using for...
