3 days in KVANT

[pelosh]

Hi all!

Finally, after 5 weeks holiday I am back in the UK. During that time visited my business base in Slovakia - KVANT. 3 days over there...like in the heaven and I learned a lot.
After I saw all this, my believes in this company were strengthened even more.

Few pictures what is it like over there:

1,2 - storage (full of lasers BTW :-)
3 - modules and drivers being build
4 - modules tested on 30m distance
5 - scanner tuning station
6 - complete projector build
7 - testing of complete projectors
8,9 - 48W green love + plus something else (RGB around 30W).

We developed few new things which will go into production soon. When the time will come I'll place it all here...

I had a meeting with Showtackle guys as well and so now I distribute their stuff. If anyone interested I can send you some prospect about their stuff (Matrix, Jukebox, Fiesta2.NET,...).

Also I had a chance to produce few photons at a party for 1300 people in Czech Republic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgZeFAYPPmI
Crazy night!

And then 8 days in Lithuania ...no lasers, no people. Just camping, fishing and nature. ..and barels of best VODKA on the Earth!

Nice video at Electrostorm. What powers were you using?

[pelosh]

3 & 1.6 W, but by then I did not have 2 separate interfaces so both lasers were just simply connected into one qm board...that's why you can see that right laser is sometimes out of white balance little bit... thing is that people who does not work with lasers don't thing about it at all so ...

No sign of ESD-safe workspaces what-so-ever.

No sign of ESD-safe workspaces what-so-ever.

In some humidity conditions you can get away with working on computers and other general electronic components, without esd workstations. Of course as long as you know what you're doing and are very careful with more sensitive components.

Obviously diodes and similar sensitive devices is a different story, however It does look they have some esd or solder mats in the 3rd picture on the left, however I can't see a ground feed off it...
