just measure the current your lasers are being driven at with the TTL drivers then set the flexmods to deliver the same amount of current. you'll probably want to bypass any onboard show cards and wire the input to the flexmods directly to the color signal pins on the ilda port (the db25)
here are the relevant pinouts:
the blue laser is more divergent due to the nature of the diode. it's a multimode emitter with a large fast axis divergence. this can be reasonably corrected with specialized optics. either a cylindrical lens set, or a pair of anamorphic prisms. search the forums for information about correcting 445 diodes. there's a wealth of information.

LSX is a great program and I can see A LOT more potential with analog modulation.
On a related note, my 445 nm blue beam (300 mw) is fat. When I display a scanned line, it's at least twice as wide as the red and green beams. Any advice on how to go about addressing this short of replacing the module? Thanks again!
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.

BTW, your LSX shows have been a HUGE inspiration to me!!!! Thanks again!
