    Yes, you may have to wait a little. I actually wouldn't stop here, it may take a little while. Maybe someone else will chime in with more assistance.

    Cool

    It looks exactly like the one I have, circa 2002. Lasever "U" series head and adjustable power supply with TTL blanking. The blanking plug is a 1/8 inch mono plug like you would use for a computer microphone. You short them together to blank the laser. (If you leave it unconnected the blanking lead floats high and the laser is on.)

    Ahhhh, now i have to find one.

    I thought you had to apply 5v to it to blank it?

    So you just have to cross the points for it to blank?

    Aidan, Adam is right. They use a standard stereo 3.5mm jack plug with a ground, and one red and a white wire - for either a TTL or analogue signal, if the PSU is analogue capable.
    Can't remember which is which but I have the info in my docs on the PC at home if you need it.

    If your not happy butchering an old PC microphone, I have a spare plug/cable as supplied by lasever, PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post.

    No probs

    The Lasever mod plug cable shield connects to pin 25 (ground) on the ILDA connector, and either the red or white signal wire to one of the colour/intensity pins.

    Due to electromagicness, when the modulation ground/signal wires ARE connected to a controller and there's 0v on the signal, the laser will be off. When the signal is 5v the laser will be full on. However when the modulation connector is removed from the PSU on the U series, the the laser will be full on as well.
