Re: ildaGen - ILDA file creation tool New version today, 0.9.7, and I am pretty happy with this release! In addition to two new major features, I have done a lot of tweaking and bug fixing, and I dare say it's an overall solid improvement. Also it looks a bit better with a new layout. -...

If it is really a pointer and not a scanner or something, maybe a shutter with a hole shaped like his name?

Yes, scanners are expensive, they plus a control board and power supply is maybe $100 total for a cheap set, then you need a DAC which is at least $50, then software which you might find for free but maybe not depending on the DAC

Such a list would probably be too complicated and difficult to maintain I think. But to answer your specific questions: I am not experienced with the 501b host so I don't know what will fit it, it probably depends on what kind of heatsink you get, take a look at some of the build logs on this...

I for one would like to see a laser head filled to the brim with mercury :)

Re: ildaGen - ILDA file creation tool New version 0.9.6.1 This is a minor update, no new major features, but there are some changes: - You can now hold Q to snap the cursor to the nearest tip of any object. This is still a bit buggy if there are many potential snap points close by though...

Yes, minus some losses in the combining optics

What is the price for shipping to Europe? I assume the listed price is only to USA.. And what would the price for a wide (5:2) poster in the order of maybe 50*120 cm be?

Re: ildaGen - ILDA file creation tool Cool, thanks! By way, if you downloaded the program immediately after the update was announced, you should redownload it now, because I had to fix a little bug that slipped through the cracks. (If you click import and then cancel the file browser, the...

It's expensive because it's an extremely high tech laser which costs a lot to research and manufacture. The target customers are obviously not hobbyists who would use the laser to point around, but scientists or other people who need such a specific wavelength for whatever purpose and have the...

Electrical engineering student here Worst was just 220v on my hand, wires a few centimeters from each other, not too bad. But I've had some very close calls that would've shocked me across the heart. One time I was unscrewing exposed mains wire off a connector, but I had forgot to unplug the...
