    Red face ILDA Wiring newbie question

    Building a green projector with laserwave, DT-30 and mamba black and dont know anything...hehe.

    Is it supposed to be like this:

    +- x scanner ---> pin 1/14
    +- y scanner ---> pin 2/15
    +-analog mod laser ----> pin 3/16
    interlock looped pin 4/17

    On medialas homepage it says pin 3 0-2,5v. If connect pin 16 to ground pin 3 0-5v. Am I supposed to connect a wire between pin 16 to pin 25 or I will only get half power with analog modulation?
    Pin 25 isnt really grounded since my comp or dac will never be connected to ground from that end....

    Ground cables are confusing. Sofar I only have the chassi grounded from the mains. Comp or dac are not grounded from that end.

    Am I supposed to just ground laser psu, scanner psu, and both scanner amps to the mains ground. Supposed to ground pin 25 too since its not grounded from the other end?

    The wordings are misleading. Pin 25 can be considered 0v reference as far as signals from your DAC are concerned. In other words; pin 25 is the signal common connection.

    I don't own a Medialase DAC but it sounds like it has balanced (differential) outputs for the colour channels; therefore grounding pin 16 (better described as tying to pin 25 DAC common) will cause it's corresponding signal pair (Pin 3) to swing from 0 > 5v.
