Hi all, I came across a pair of posts ages ago that tabulated the then current list of Laser DACs & Control Software. I bookmarked them, but it now seems that they are not on the server any more. I tried to search for them, but to no avail.
Does anyone still have copies of these resources? It might be a good idea to maintain them as a 'sticky' or similar? Sorry if I've posted to the wrong forum, or if I've missed something obvious.
I have a parallel port DAC & a copy of Popelscan. My 2W RGB laser should be delivered soon, which has a standard ILDA interface, but I don't have a DAC/Control solution to control it! Are there any freeware or low cost solutions? I've heard of iShow & Helios DAC. Also one which is based on an Arduino, but it would be great if there was a central resource to list them.
The last controller I used was the Laser Systems (Wales UK) Magnum hardware controller back in 1987. This setup was on the roof of a nightclub in Spain, & used standard General Scanning Galvos & a nice 20W Coherent Argon laser. So it's been a while!
Many thanks, Simon B.
