damn you!!!! lol

yes an rf controlled (like a coded garage door remote) e-stop would work, but would not be a 100% reliable failsafe. ideally they should be hardwired and kill the projector the second the button is pressed.

I'm not sure we need e-stops here in australia (you guys in the states have a whale of a time getting those projectors certified etc); but for the power levels of my present build, one will be mandatory. So I guess I'll be stuck next to the e-stop button

Australia operates to the same standards as the UK, Europe, increasingly the US and most of the rest of the western world: IEC 60825, an e-stop is not something that is 'ideally' fitted; it is a requirement.

Does some guy needs to come and approve my projector on savety or is it approved by my own opinion when i think all savety rules are applied?

No, but if you are using the projector in a public place and an inspector visits you could be in trouble. If you are using it in a public place and somebody gets injured you WILL be in trouble. Also remember NO crowd scanning without a fast scanfail device AND proper measurement and calculations.

Didn't someone say on another thread that as laser control had moved forward, so had the requirements and that if you could demonstrate the emergency stop could operate in software, that would pass? I'll have to try and dig up the thread I think.

Also, I didn't think that scanfail was a requirement for crowd scanning under MPE, only if you were planning on doing 10xMPE (as detailed in the revised safety document)?

If you're referring to the "revised safety document" that I think you are, it is a suggestion for how policy might be changed - it is NOT the current legal policy anywhere.

You can only crowd scan without a scan-fail detector if your projector does not exceed the blink-reflex-time MPE at the audience even if the galvos stop moving. So, if your projector is less than 5mW, then OK... Otherwise, no.

How does 5mW figure in MPE, then? I always thought 5mW (and 5mW what? cm2? 0.7cm2?) at the point of hazard would put you over MPE??

I will try and make something for Ipad / iphone later on.
Will be working on 2 versions.
One will be a remote controll for Autoplay from the QM2000

and the other one, I'm not sure yet, will be lasersoftware that supports easylase though.
I don't know how much I will charge for it on the appstore.
Either 0 euro's if it doesn't end up taking me too much time.
Else I will estimate a price around~ 0.30$ but I doubt I will do that.

Since I use windows for developing I will make this in adobe flash
(which has an iphone dev feature).

Just to remind people, At the moment I'm still browsing through loads of code, learning from it and studying it.

You shouldn't be expecting that App I'm planning too soon, I'm a bit spreading out my time with things, I multitask at a high level already
