stand alone ilda controller

[riyalasers]

Ok...
We do announcement after finish of developing usually...

But possible we will have advices which can help us to make better device

Look please photo of our future controller.
We are interest in any advices!

I wish you had asked before you finished the development.

I and everyone else in the performance world hate those membrane keyboards. That alone would be a deal breaker for me.
That and the buttons should be on the bottom and the pots on the top.

Just my opinion.

Thank you chad,

I don't like membrane keyboards too.
But here is very important price range (key and panel).

Good quality key with "click" cost about $1,5
Our controller have 39 key's. You can count total price

I will set under panel (tape) these buttons:



I think it will good compromise between membrane and usually keyboard

I'd rearrange the SD slot so that the card doesn't protrude from the device. Perhaps if the slot was set into the unit a little more by way of modifying the molding of the case a little. This way the card could be left in the unit between uses without much worry of damaging the SD card.

Thank you, Jonathan!
I will move SD card inside as will possible

Maybe you can make the size- and shift-pots go beyond 100%.

bart,
expline please more in detail...

Sometimes you want to display an ilda frame larger than it is stored in the file.
Even out of the drawing area.
For example if you have a frame with a full circle, when performing live, it more dramatic to enlarge it from 0% to 150%, then it is from 0 to 100%
You'll surely have to blank the points that are clipped off the sides.

Also when shifting a frame, it's nicer to shift the content in and out of the drawing area.

Maybe your hardware allready does this, but 50% and 100% next to the faders suggest otherwise.

Showtacle Moncha does all this, the medialas Avatar did not.

PS.
It that a touch-pad in the centre? Or a display ?

Is possible to make it in hardware.... on OP AMPs...
But here will be problems:
- controller can be make output voltage more +/- 5Volt; it will NOT ILDA compatible;
- is very possible galvanometer crash with not correct input voltage;

Is possible to make it in firmware (before output to OP AMP's)
But this mode will required additional control component (button) for this mode, or (without it) will make problem (image limiting) within usualy translation

But may be it will done in next modifications.
Thank you!
