DB-25 ILDA breakout board

[Anthony]

David,

The BO board arrived today.
Stunning soldering/production work!!!! nice!!
Thank you for adding the goodies!!!

This weekend i blew 2 808 pumpdiodes trying to test the differential/sallenkey filter... WHOOOOOPPPSSS
So i have some cheap 532 repairwork to do.

I will wait until your schematic/boards are tested and avialable.
I removed the option from my diode driver.

I personally would use the full color pinouts of the DB25.
Usining all six colors of the PANGO board.
There are some multi color project underway with the release of the 405 and 635/650 dichro's.

I would be nice to have full control for all color channels.

1 delay board + 1 ILDA board please!
Thanks!

Hmm, to breakout all 6 color lines means 3 more 2 position screw terminals, which will increase the size of the board quite a bit. I'll see what I can come up with. You guys do realise the additional 3 colors lines are for yellow, violet (defined as 457, according to pangolin's website) and Cyan (488).

That was the one thing I wanted to ask Bill about at FLEM but forgot before he left. I mentioned it to Aaron I think, the other Aaron... and he thought that is was just a software setting the "should" be adjustable. Sounds plausible to me but... The hard part is getting everyone to start programming shows with all 6 channels. Technically only need 5 unless we find some 445/450nm blues going for cheap and start making 660, 635, 532, 473, 445, and 405, R/Ro/G/Bg/B/V projectors. Still got to get the custom blue dichros made.

I'll re-iterate my request for one of the first production 3-CHANNEL boards, since I don't anticipate "messin' with no fancy colors" anytime soon!!

RGB - works for me!

Out of curiosity couldn't one use two color correction boards if they wanted all six colors (ignoring the input pin connections for now). Another option is of course to have the RGB version and the super duper 6 color version.My next random idea is to have a three layers of boards:
ILDA -> Color Correction -> Color Correction Output Board?

There are a few of my good, bad or ugly ideas.

Aaron, that's not true - at least as long as you're using Pangolin, that is.

Pangolin's color wizard corrects for *everything*. Remember, it puts the color on the wall and lets *you* adjust the sliders until it looks right to *your* eye. You even decide which channel is which color. (So yeah, if you wire your projector wrong, and put the red laser on the green channel and vice versa, Pangolin will correct for that too!)

This is what Bill is talking about when he says that the color wizard corrects for all the non-linearities all the way to your brain. Since your brain is doing the analysis of the colors on the wall, when it looks right to you, everything has been accounted for. (Including the non-linear response of the eye, the non-linear response of the lasers, the non-linear reflectivity of the wall, etc, etc, etc...)

So if you have a yellow channel set up, Pangolin will use it to make your yellow look better. If you have cyan, it will be used as well. If you have violet, it will also be used. And if you have TWO reds that are on different channels, it will train each channel separately. (Even if you select them *both* to be a dark red, they can still be controlled separately.)

Bottom line: no one needs to change anything with the artwork. Pangolin doesn't care. It will attempt to make the best color match using the wavelengths it has available. If you only have 3 wavelengths, your color will be close. If you have 6 wavelengths to choose from, your color will be closer!

OR

I'll be glad to "settle" for a super-duper 6-channel version, if that's the first batch available!
