USB Scannersafety

[mccarrot]

This groupbuy is for a USB programmable scanner safety

This scanfail is one of the fastest an affordable scanfails I could find, and got the option to connect a LCD to readout the status.

The scannersafety is adjustable to react between the 2 and 20ms and got 6 optocoupler outputs for all your colors and/or the shutter.

With the supplied software you can easily setup the not protected zone so you can still use static beams for your bouncemirrors.

The price normal is arround 150 euro exclusive the LCD.

the manufacturer is willing to drop the price to 115 euro when I order more than 8 pcs.

This price is ex. any shipping costs and ex. display

LCD Blue 2x20 Char 25 Euro
GLCD Blue 65 Euro

This groupbuy will be a NON profit group buy, but the above mentioned price can increasy a little bit to cover any shipping and package costs.

please let me know if you are interested.

Do they offer an English version of their programming software? What about the user's manual?

What is the difference between the two LCD screens?

Probably the LCD is text only and the GLCD can also show graphics.

Yeah, GLCD stands for Graphic LCD, such as these: http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=188

I just bought one of those to use with my new Arduino

This is a pretty cool little board, something I would want to add to my projector eventually.

This looks like just what I've been waiting for, so I'll have 3 boards please. That means we just need 5 more...

(I'm not really interested in the add-on displays at the moment)

[-bart-]

I'll have one too, please.

It's not a problem to make the software English, and I will work together with the manufacturer for the translations.

If we sell enough can also translate the manual, but I dont want to translate the manual for one person. also google translate can be your firend.

One warning from the manufacturer, no other displays are supported because of the many different chips and the software is writing data into the displays. Using your own display could even damage the scanfail.

Shipping within Europe will cost 15 euro, shipping outside Europe will cost 25 euro. All shippings are insured and are traceable.

[greenalien]

Is the add-on display essential to the function of the scan-fail, or is it optional?

[mccarrot]

the Safety also runs without a display.
Then the basic setup is done via the PC.

Ouch! I just checked the exchange rates. The Euro has really gained against the dollar since the last time I checked... (OK - it's been a while. Sue me for not keeping up with the times!)

At today's rates, the basic unit (no display) would be around $210 with shipping to the US. (I was hoping it would be more like $140.)

It's still a good deal, but I gotta think about it before I commit.
