Was this also the interface that was to handle built on abstract generation?

That is a nice looking DAC. Good luck!
Just a thought for a Wednesday morning (For me at least)
Do you think POE support could be a possibility in the future ? Running these off your on-stage switch (With redundant power supply) would be lovely!
Cheers,

I considered it. The thing is, although PoE can supply plenty of power for the DAC itself, it really isn't enough to power a whole laser projector. (The lasers, possibly; the galvos, not so much.) So the projector would need its own power feed anyway, and PoE would be a significant amount of added cost and complexity. If there's a really compelling case for it, then maybe in a future revision, but probably not.
That said, the DAC board is designed to be able to be built right into a projector. It'll run off of anything in the 8v-25v DC range, so you can feed it from the galvo power supply or a convenient +12 rail or whatever, and there's a pin header for the output signals as well as the DB25 connector.
Yes, there's also a built-in abstract generator, though the user interface for it isn't exactly ready for prime time yet. "Coming soon..."
This looks excellent.
Do you have plans for a sound activated playback off the SD card?
(the user could build frames and they would display in sync with a mic or line in input)
Will the abstract generator be able to sync to a audio input?
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
j4cbo, you didn't respond to my question regarding the MAC address (hard coded currently).
Can I suggest you take a look at the Microchip 2AA02E48 (or similar) EEPROM. These come shipped with a unique MAC address stored. It's a cheap and simple way to buy a unique MAC address, the 48 bit address is stored in the upper-most bytes. Simply read the address at boot, load and go.

Looks fantastic!!! Very impressed by your development skills! Keep up the good work!!!
