Not via the SD card directly as a adapter, your going to need to add a ILDA Standard compatable connector.

Most of the SD cards take Type 0 ILDA Frame data and this can be created in software and added to the existing card.

Yes, if:

1. Your comfortable with rewiring connectors and audio systems. Laser signals are essentially DC and audio, but are wired like 3 wire mic cables.
2. You feel like investing between 65-80$ for a difficult to use hobby/freeware design (Sound Card based) to 499$ for a decent controller such as a FB3 or LSX.
3. You accept that the controller is going to be far more capable in terms of color and speed then most low cost projectors and you will find yourself frequently upgrading your hardware.

Adding the connector is about 10-20$. Adding the external controller is what is expensive.

That unit uses TTL aka ON/OFF color and thus you will be very frustrated without up-grading the diode drivers to Analog drivers to take advantage of linear control of color.

You will just get red,blue,green, cyan, magenta, and yellow with that projector with TTL style color, and it will look like crap.

Find better hardware. Some of REKE stuff is far better then that.

Now for the bad the bad news, that projector is illegal to use in the US without a Federal Variance, and in some cases is in violation of state laws.
Just because it can be and IS illegally imported, does not mean its legal or safe.
