hello flyby!

depending on what you're willing to spend, the capabilities of 'scanners' range from simple lissajou-figures to beam show and finally to graphics (from word(s) to images). i guess for $25 you get something that is able to scan lissajous. you can control this kind of 'motors' via your sound card... some free software for this purpose is available in the laser guide. if you want to go semi professional you've to spend at least ~800 euro, for professional solutions ~2000 euro (used equipment). for this money you should get at least a pair of galvos, scanner amps & software/controller.

there are lots of thread regarding this matter.... the best would be, if you browse the boards with some sort of online translation tool. (hope this tip will no one hold away from posting his/her thoughts.)

cheers, marc

p.s. if you wanna go low-cost you should check the 'mot-1' threads (the mot-1 is probably able to scan single letters... i'm not sure)

Hi,

thats right: MOT-1 are able to scan letters or "very small" words.
I´ve tested it on my system.
But you must find the best voltage for the scanner and the best settings for the D/A Card to have a good scanning ;-). It will NOT be as good as professional systems which marc told you, but it´s the best low cost system I know!

If you wanna use them for little beamshows too, they where exelent (for this price)

Hello flyby (!)

I can offer you a LC 1 closedloop scanning system which is in a very good condition.

With this system you are able to make very good beamshows and graphicshows if they are not too complex.

You are also able to display text, but only short words like "welcome" / "to" / "flyby" / "multimedia" and so on. Please notice that you can display only ONE of these words above at the SAME time because the system is not the fastes on the market. Not all the words together (!).

If you are interested in buying my system for about 550,- Euro please mail me at

hoffiralf@compuserve.de

If you have any questions or if you need some fotos so please mail me to.
