Laserharps Pre-order!

[Carl B]

Thanks Carl, we'll speak about this a little further down the road . Do ya think you'll have it ready for Surfleet?

The plan is to have it ready for Surfleet with at least 1W of 445 blue.

Got all the components, apart from the PCB's

I'm really hoping they arrive tomorrow so I can test etc over the weekend, and get them off to csshih for distribution next week.

China post is friggin useless

10 beams is more than enough for me. I was just asking in order to give you all the note info for each note bank in the PM I sent you yesterday.

Carl

Making the beams diverge more is easy to do by turning the harp on its 'side' (oriented like a regular projector) and folding the beams into a vertical direction after giving them some space. A 12-15" flat, rectangular mirror should be more than enough.

If you want to do something really fancy you can even hide the entire assembly underneath a platform and you can stand on your harp while playing it.

Hmmm, the cool part of this is you can split the galvo purchase between 2 people, as you only require one axis and it's driver...

Fingers crossed for the PCB's

@ Things. Did you get my PM with my note bank details?

Carl

@dnar Yes, that is the idea Only issue is you only get one power supply.

@Carl B Yes I did


Cheers,

Any sign of the PCB's yet Dan?

Also a few questions.
1. Do you have the beam sensors separate from the harp case or can they be fitted in the top of the case? I am assuming that there is a pot that sets the sensitivity of the sensors.
2. The switches / foot switches for opening the harp and changing the bank, are they latching or momentary switches?
3. and besides the blanking, what other setting options if any are there in the settings menu?

Can you tell that I can't wait for the arrival of this kit.

Hi Carl, I'm getting really annoyed at China post, the PCB's are taking forever! I'm considering scraping up some money from somewhere and ordering another batch with express shipping, in case the other ones are lost in the post

1. Yes, the sensors are a seperate PCB, you can put them anywhere you want. Yes, there is a pot to change sensitivity.
2. Momentary
3. Nothing else yet.

Really sorry about these PCB's taking so long, Thinking they may be lost in the mail

Cheers,
Dan

Not to worry. I'm sure they will turn up.
I'm still in need of a laser for this anyway so no big rush, just hoping to have the harp ready to show Jem at the next UKLEM at the end of September.
And thanks for the info to my questions.
