cheers
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
The ScanPro20's with the DMX board are a standalone unit that is capable of producing simple graphic effects. You should have got an instruction sheet with them. If you didn't get one have a look on lasershowparts website and i'm pretty sure there's one there for download. Or you could wait for Dave from Lasershowparts to come along and provide a link.
Pretty much all you need to do is couple everything up and switch it on and the galvos should work... you won't get any nice pretty patterns until you fire a laser at the galvos of course
Cheers
