Hello.
Wow its been along time since i posted here hope all geeks are ok.
Been really busy with other work related stuff the last year but have an upcoming show at the end of march.
Last show i did i discovered i had some glitches in my Target Beams. Which basically mean that my 4 hours setting up targeting mirrors in the venue was for nothing once the show started 2 hours later.
Meaning that the beams are wandering off there targets. Sometimes it takes an hour sometimes it takes just a minute of another animation.
Now i tested this last night and set the targets on a wall in my office, draw a small circle around the position and went to bed.
This morning i turned on the laser and started the targets again and yep. same as i remember the targets have moved. Its not much, just one centimeter or less but my office is quite small so in a big venue.... well you get the problem.
So does anybody have an idea what can be the problem?
1. ILDA cable? should it be grounded from my FB3
2. Grounding error inside the enclosure?
I will try with another ILDA cable i have.
Another thing that i noticed last night.
I have an old smokemachine and if im running the laser with an animation on and press the smokemachine button the laser stops. I mean the light. It dosnt shut off the scanners or fans or anything else inside the laser just the light from all modules RGB. This to me says its some grounding problem. But i guess it perhaps can be the old smokemachine that sends out an dangerous electric-spike or something. This is when everything is connected on the same fuse here in my office. Or could it be that the FB3 gets disturbed? My FB3 is connected with USB and an AC/DC adapter. To get the light going again i just restart Pangolin Software which to me indicate that its something with FB3 card?
Really a tricky question i know, but i just want to get some thoughts inn before i start the error searching-
Again, hope everything is ok with everyone and the business is well, here in Sweden there is one or more "cheap lasers" running on auto at all clubs these days so the laser rental business is hard but there still are some event-planers understanding the difference between auto and a real show.
Here is a video of a show i did for an event a year agoo.
