they can, but I think its beyond the scope of such a simple board... Get a FB3

One day .... one day ...

Are you familiar with thier programming structure? Since I have a spare DMX control board, it would be pretty cool if I could try something out

Dave --
Any answer to my question?

I posted the reply further up the page.. Im expecting the goods on Monday, so it wont be till mid-late next week till I will have any firm answers

Actually, I'm just waiting on a new style program board to arrive so that I can reverse engeneer to see what is going on. Leave it with me, and I will have all the answers..

Never mind my questions Dave --

I got the red blanking problem fixed by myself !!! The SP20 looks super in demo RGB.
Now to work my way up to where you guys are at !!

Anyone here down to make a short tutorial on this board? I have one and can't make heads or tails of it. Granted I am close to an id10t when it comes to boards and such, so I am sure it is not complicated. A lot of people seem to be starting out with these scanners and a little "how to" would be nice. Then there is also the LSP discount for a "review".

Just working on the fail proof guide...

1. Does the output of the TTL driver reference to ground?
2. What does the output look like? 0 to ??? volts.
3. Does this output drive + to the laser TTL or sink the laser's TTL control line?

Mike

The outputs are straight out of the micro, thru a dg201 fet switch, so the micros port capability limits blanking output. In this case, the outputs can sink 15ma, and source bugger all, hence why a small buffer circuit is required for Analogue lasers.

just working thru this board, should have a few more answers in the next couple of days

Can you give yourself a discount for a tutorial?

I have encountered this problem as well. It turns out the 16-pin connector from the DMX board is only connected to pins 7-14 and 19-25 (on d-sub 25), while my FB3 board utilizes pins 1-7, 14-20, and 25. Did something get lost in translation? It almost looks like they soldered it upside down. I double checked, and there is no continuity between my FB3 output channels and the DMX board channels. I thought ILDA is ILDA is ILDA. I'll have to end up bypassing the board altogether which I was probably going to end up doing anyway.
