    Good afternoon. We've encountered the following issue. We have a RECI FC3000 laser. Today, the laser (the laser emitter) didn't start (although the laser pointer is lit). The emergency stop button on the laser emitter is red. The single-mode laser monitor program displays water temp and cool...

    Hi everyone, I’m trying to track down a service manual or any technical info for a Coherent Infinity 40-100 Nd:YAG laser from around 1995. I reached out to Coherent, but they don’t have anything older than 2008 on their servers (just the operator’s manual). The system powers on, but the...

    I get a few requests a year for how AGC works, mainly from PhD students. AGC is a Linearity correction that mainly influences tangent and edge bow errors at the outer edges of the image field. So, I set Chat GPT loose on a fragment of the schematic and asked for the transfer functions. YMMV...

    What do we think guys? I'm nearly ready to buy a couple of new lasers. Of course I'd love some Unity Pro's but they are out of my budget. So question is OPT Lasers or Golden Star Lasers? I think I know who I'd go for but what do you think? Graham

    TheHermit replied to a thread Help needed in adjusting colors in Beyond 4 in Laser Displays, Shows, and Scanning
    Looks like you've already found Beyond's color balancing settings. Assuming your projector(s) have analogue diode drivers, most likely those driver boards have trim pots for balancing colors. But, it is important to monitor amperage, against the diodes' mfr specs, while making those adjustments to...

    Yup, mine came in an ELEGOO UNO Starter Kit I got 3-4 years ago. I ignored the little stepper thinking it would be kinda jerky in its movement...until I recently saw some YTs showing it in action. For me, its big selling point was it being a geared down 32-step-per-rev stepper by 64:1 yielding...

    Yes, the 28BYJ even with drivers are inexpensive and have been very popular within the Arduino & Raspberry Pi maker communities, having been included in their starter kits over several years. If it's a small stepper you're after, check out these tiny li'l beasties. I've used similar ones on...
