    Hmm, I thought we had this kicked. Probably the next thing to check would be the palette. Maybe it's set to output red only? If it's setup to RGB, how about attaching the green laser to +B/-B and see if you have output. Let us know.

    i hooked up the green to the blue terms but got the same thing. the pallet is set at rgb so it should have shown something. im going to try a different computer when i get home. ill let you know what i find. looking like the fb3 is mucked up.

    I took the laptop and the FB3 to work and hooked it to the scope. The Red and Green channels were flat lined. BUT, while the scope was hooked to the green channel I tapped the top and I got a flicker on the scope......So I opened up and the pins on the upper board were half on....I can't believe how simple a fix that was. Now all three channels work!!
    I spent the rest of the day tweaking the alignment and then checking out the cues.
    Tomorrow I will take good pics and post them so I can be evaluated by you guys. I have a Blue mount and the FlexMods waiting for me to assemble something, now if I can only find a couple blue diodes....... I think if I look hard enough I might find a couple for sell....if not I might have to swing for one of those fancy projectors......

    Thanks DZ and the rest who helped me get this going.....

    Haha, I always have troubles getting those connectors off, I can't see how yours just decided to fall off

    I'm pretty sure it came that way. I mocked it up on the bench when I first got it just to see and I remember the laser blanked off when i moved it, but it came back on right away. I thought at the time it was a loose signal wire. Anyway it's all good now.
