Satellite projector ideas

[dnar]

With my main projector build now complete, I am thinking of building 2 x satellite projectors to flank the main.

I am thinking single colour, perhaps TTL modulation. A few questions running through my mind:

1. What looks the best, blue or green?
2. TTL or analog?
3. Can I buy the FB3 alone?
4. What power to suit 2 - 2.5W RGB?
5. Will 15-20K scanners suffice?
6. How does QS work in VLJ mode with >1 projector?

This disease has a strong hold.

1 green (more lm/mw)
2 analog
3 like without QS? no, like all other pangolin hardware you get to pay for it every time
4 RGB or single color? you changed it now, 1.5~2W of green is pretty f'ing bright
5 for the price of scanners right now, no reason to get anything less than 30k
6 VLJ wtf? lol but seriously I don't know

Thanks man.

"4 RGB or single color? you changed it now, 1.5~2W of green is pretty f'ing bright"

I was meaning to go with my RGB main projector!

VLJ = Virtual Laser Jockey - I worked it all out, the manual was my last resort lol.

oh, then I dunno, maybe 1W green, or some dual 1W (2w total) 445 projectors I guess

and ya I know what VLJ

If it were me i would go with a 1w green and the cheap dual 445nm
= awsome argon like color

[andy_con]

im with chris, 445 being so cheap and small id do both

Cool. You twisted my arm.

Any rough figures on 532/445 ratios to simulate Argon?

who cares, its what they invented fancy software for.

just get whatever you can afford

I would just do another pair of RGB's myself :-D

ROFL. My mission, to build well for less!

As the supplier of 90% of my parts, I expect no less!
