As is, DZ - works perfect!!
The screw terminals REALLY makes it easy to reverse the + - connections to the scanner amps...er, if that were actually needed.....

Sweet.....
Screw terminals work for me.
Awesome, thanks for the info guys, so looks like around a 6 to 1 ratio there, so far.
Ok, the LED only works when you use an interlock loop that includes your DAC. If you place a voltage on the screw terminal that's labeled "loop", that voltage goes down pin 4 on the DB-25 to your DAC. The DAC should return the voltage on pin 17, if it does, the LED will illuminate. This also depends on if you have everything grounded properly in the projector. So if you are sure the loop is wired properly, and the voltage is returning to pin 17 and the switch block is configured properly and you still don't have light, then you may have a grounding issue.Edit: one question..
I wonder when that green LED will light ?![]()
Here's an easy way to test, set L1 to on and L2 to off (default config), short pin 4 and 17, use a 9V battery connected to GND and LOOP, the LED should light up.
Here is the final layout for version 2.3 of the breakout board. I've labeled the pin header for the additional colors, Db=Deep Blue, Ye=Yellow and Cy=Cyan. This will just be a simple pin header. You can also see that the board will accept either the screw terminal or molex style connector.
I looove the work you do
But is it possible to get a oposite board ?
the one you make now is "input" , but I need the "output" on my laser case
anyway, this is GREAT !
I believe you could just replace the female connector with a male one, and INPUT the signals to the board.
I think one of these is what you need! Otherwise I bet you can get one sent without the connector soldered on... But the cost of a new connector might exceed the price of a DB25 gender-adapter.

Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.
