You can use my online ILDA file renderer to view ILDA files before loading them up to a laser.

https://ildac32.com/render/

Just use the 'upload' option. It's 100% browser based, so nothing is uploaded to a server.

When I load your latest ILDA file, it runs fine in the online renderer, so I can't see what the issue is when running on a laser.

Yeah i'm not sure either. Its not too many frames, little high on the points maybe? I have it set to 15,1

Wow! That was an experience. I fixed a bunch more stuff that was slightly off. Also realized there is another function to apply to a palette of only a few colors.

Try this one.

ooo interesting.. this one is visually better than my best attempt, but instead of a color pinwheel, the image is all white with a dark pinwheel.. I ran some other ild files just to make sure i didnt lose any diodes and i still have all three primary colors

That's weird.

You should see about the same thing you see when you open it in [redacted].

It should be 7 colors.

It's all format 0 with the default palette.

How does this one look?

AND THE PLOT THICKENS...

So I know the projector CAN display all the colors we are asking of it.. so I went into the other .ild files on the sd card that display "properly" I noticed a strange discrepancy in the .prj files. When I loaded some of the other color ild's into [redacted] or the web based browser, i noticed that whats written isnt actually being shown by the projector 1:1. any color it doesnt read properly, it displays as white.

in the previous two youtube videos i had the .ild files set to 15,1 (as far as i know, this means the projector should read it in ILD mode as play at 15kpps, 1 time) and we got the weird garbled one from you and then the all white with dark portion from james' file.

HERE COMES THE INTERESTING PART--

After looking at the other files that came on the card, I decided to try something (even though I wasnt hopeful) I set the .prg file to read 20,1 (both with james' last one and your most recent) and I got james' to display semi-correct and yours was like looking at a all-white moving dashed line version... now, heres the part where we need to get billy mays on the phone because WAIT, THERES MORE (and I dont understand it)..

in the following recordings I took both of your last file drops and set them to 20,1.0 (adding ".0") and for a reason I dont truly have an explanation for, now they both display, with color. HOWEVER, to get yours to display in this fashion sometimes, I have to go to a full color .ild file first then back to yours and it reads all the colors.. does the ".0" behind the "1" tell it to read differently somehow?

edit: just confirmed that if i load up the laser on the latest file you sent, its all white and dashed like it doesnt know how to read the color, but changing up or down a folder then back to the one its in [im guessing] makes the laser re-read the .prj file and display all the colors..

sidenote: I never thought Id be up at 3am trying things out on a laser, but I'm having a blast. The fact you guys are helping me squeeze every last drop out of this little intro laser is also a huge credit to your community.

This doesn't read an ilda section 2 palette.

It should.
Can you post the file you are using?
