Laser only at 1/4 width? WTF?

[juampix]

hey guys, i got to the disco with my laser, put it, all well, the problem was that the laser fallen, from about 8 feet, and the RED laser got a little bit disaligned, but i fixed it well, it now works , but i have now another problem, that i didn't had in the first test, now i think that the laser it's not doing all the width, an example, put the laser at 1m distance of a box, i project into the box, i got this size: HEIGHT: 45CM(half height on QS), WIDTH: 20cm?(full width on QS) i don't want to broke anything, i'm using a pair of dt30 scanners.i think anything got misconfigured or something..

I'm not shure if Quickshow also has this option but you could check it.
There is a projection zone setup and a laser hardware (DAC) setup just below or above the projection zone setup.
In the DAC setup by default the projection zone is set to 50% of the max scan area.
Check if that one is still on 50% and change it to 100%.
After changing that you have to change the projection zone size otherwise you scanners could be scanning to big.

If your software is good, test your ILDA cable for continuity and make sure your scanner inputs are sound. You may find a scanner input has been knocked, this happened to me.

Check that your scanner amps are connected to both + and - pins on the ILDA port. It sounds like one of the 2 may have come adrift on the small axis and you're effectively running in single ended mode.

what do you mean as "ilda port", the db25?

[norty303]

Yes, the DB25, and also wherever the ends of the wire terminate (e.g. scanner amp, DMX/standalone board, etc)
