    Default I need ISHOW DAC info!!!

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any idea on both ISHOW DACS versions, What pins on ILDA 25 pin connectors are actually being used?

    X - pin 1. + GND (or pin 14)
    Y - pin 2. + GND (or pin 15)
    Intensity (for single color laser) pin 3. + GND (or pin16)
    RGB 5/6/7 +GND (or pins 18/19/20)
    GND - pin 25
    This is the standard single ended ILDA db25 connector pinouts.
    Every ILDA DAC uses these pins by default.IShit also does.

    Ok I got everything to work ok with my RGB laser, But trying the same cable on my green laser I can not get the laser to turn on. I can see and hear the galvo's moving when I change from pattern and graphics but no laser output.
    Anyone know why that would be??

    First test if the cable is good, check if you can get a signal out of the pins.
    Pinout is here:

    On the other side, ishow is a very bad piece of software, i never used it myself but i heard that it is VERY unstable. And it doesn't even work on a 64bit system (and almost every pc runs 64bit since a few years.)
    Also it only does TTL blanking, so you can get no more than 7 colors out of it.
