Ok
In this post i will give you ALL info u need to make your own (semi.proffesional) X Y scanner system at low-cost![]()
First is what we need :
1: PC\laptop so we can controll the set
2: Controller with the connection plug to printer port.
(the controller is also known as DAC)
3: Drivers\amplifers that make strong signal to the galvo
4: 2 galvo scanners+mirror (faster is better)
5: Power supply
6: Laser
7: Software
And this is WHERE you can get it :
1. PC\computer: i guess u know where (make sure it got a printer-port\USB)
2. DAC \ controller board did i get from www.mylaserpage.de
fast shipping and great service from this guycost = 112 EUR (including powersupply)
3. Driver+galvo --->
4 I did not buy the cheap galvo from mylaserpage.de becouese they are to slow to make pictures\animasion to a great lasershow.
So i did get the driver + galvo from www.jmlaser.com m6008 is the name of my galvo that arrived in a sweet set including holders, wires + mounting holderscost = 399 EUR (including shipping to Norway)
5 Dual power supply did i buy from www.mylaserpage.de toghether with the DAC controller boardthe power supply got GND 5+ 12- 12+
6 Ah yea the laseryou can get alot of green lasers from eBay at low cost.. you can use a "modded" leadlight for home use at no problem!!
And blanking with the leadlight is no problem![]()
If not you can buy more powerful laser modules from www.cnilaser.com
7 The sofware i use is freeware (THANK YOU) and it`s POPELSCAN link: http://www.mylaserpage.de/down.htm

This is my system today:
Laser: PGL-III
Galvo: ordered from jmlaser.com
Controll board: mylaserpage.de
Power supply: jmlaserpage.de
Software: popelscan

So there is all the stuff you need..
Here follow some pictures of the system:
The driver board + m6008 Galvo scanners
Laser, power supply, DAC, driver board and scanners (pluss some FAN to cool down the system)
Inside there is all the POWER![]()
Blue LED indicate that the system is Active !
And all the plug`s are connected to my box![]()
Here is 3 relay i forgot to tell about, i use this relay from the blanking output and into the laser (becouse the output from DAC mus NOT be more than 20mA) the 2 other relay is connected to the RED and BLUE output from the DAC![]()
Sweeet ... just like a rave partey .. yey
Here are 2 leadlight connected from the RED and BLUE outputonly to make more show and beams...
2 leadlights connectet to wires that go to the relay that is connected to the DAC
So .. hope this can be helpful to all the others that want to make a laser scanner![]()
i really enjoy playing with the scanner...
Hope you can make som sweet show with popelscan someday and share the show to me and other people![]()
