There are laser projectors with direct analog inputs for

X Y r g b

( ILDA port DB25 )

There are the DACs you know by name and then there is the direct approach of using a modified multi-channel audio dac.

This has to be absolute voltage from the dac (no DC blocking caps) and within ilda voltage specs.

That's what my correction amp kit does.

Then you can start saving as wav.

I think that's because it was done with a raster to vector converter. Because the original has thick lines, it has to use some kind of fixed choice to get to a single line.

A hand drawn version has human aesthetics.

Again, nice job.

You are too kind, I was rushed and being sloppy with the DPI on my mouse set for gaming and not design work. _02 file nearly an identical result on laser. its so close I can taste it.. I thought about adding frames and making it just fewer points per frame

and really, if anyone says this [redacted] is too difficult to use, they dont understand what a pita it must've been to write these algos. not to say the avg person should -ever- look behind the curtain.. but thank you for providing something like this au gratis. I owe you no less than a pizza.

If you look at the DXF I originally uploaded, you should see what I've been working with (post #11). Viktors DXF had a strange scaling/sizing. If you open it in a CAD viewer you can see it.

... it's mostly the difference between metric and imperial -- my dimensions are in Millimeters, your in Inches - so you should multiply my file with 25,4 to get it adapted to Inch

Gratus for getting it.

Not at all a PITA. My brain exploded over and over. Good times.

Very rare.

I think im right at the ragged edge of what this laser can do, but [redacted] has been fantastic. I have Ideas to use the outline and some simplified parts of the tiki to animate then overlay that on the projected image from a traditional projector. things like the eyes blinking or outline being traced. Here's where we ended up:

massive thanks to James, and Viktor

There is a whole list of effects you can apply to a single frame to make an animation. Load up your frame and look at menu n. Some of the effects are in z, so you have to rotate the view a bit to see them.

someone has the high ground.. /insideJoke love it. Thank you

Many of the frames that open by default (in.ild) are there to demonstrate the animation effects.

If you are interested, you can look at the effects functions in the src directory. It gives you an idea of the use of overloaded operators and the amount of work that can be done in just a few lines of code.
