I am trying to connect popelscan via the parallel port to the new 20k CDS scanner kit, this thread.....
http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...ead.php?t=3614
I thought I had the galvo's running from the computer, (though the image was not what I expected) until I exited popelscan and realised that the computer was having no effect at all, the galvo's are probably just moving to pickup.
Now for the newbie observations and questions
OBS......I put a scope on the data pins of the parallel cable and I see that they are doing something (hi/lo) with popelscan running.
Q.....How do I configure the computer/popelscan to ensure that it is sending the correct data?
OBS...... If the scanner is powered up on its own the "work" LED lights.
With popelscan on and running, then power on to the scanner sometimes the "work" LED stays on.....sometimes it goes off and the galvo's make a different sound. My problem here is I have not found any information on what all the buttons and settings do on popelscan. I have not found which buttons/settings I need to click and in what order to get the "work" LED to go off....I have searched the web for hours for info with no joy.
Q.....Does anyone have a help file/operators manual for popelscan that they can copy to me? Or can someone tell me what needs to be enables/disabled/set etc?
I think I will leave it there for the moment, any help on this would be appreciated
