got a package in the mail from Shih Wei Chieh unpacking\\ {{dlr_unpacking.mp4}} first go\\ {{ldr-003.mp4}} ===TODO=== find out what's up with the Y axis galvo. it gets very hot when on and doesnt move. ===hardware=== Shih [[http://tribe-against-machine.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Maskless_Photolithography_with_Conductive_Fabric_and_DIY_Laser_Galvanometers|notes]], similar to [[https://github.com/hzeller/ldgraphy/blob/master/design.md|ldgraphy]] the scanner is PT-A40 {{:pasted:20201107-143303.png?400}} {{:pt-a40.pdf|manual for PT-A40}} what's inside? {{youtube>HIBH55cbfLM?medium}} AlliExp stroe (not he one sent)- https://gzsevenstarlight.aliexpress.com/store/3904033\\ pro ThorLAB - https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=3770 \\ **Basic Tuning**\\ Basic adjustments\\ The driver board comes already pre adjusted for 3 projection angle and needs to be set up for\\ the galvo only in small areas. Every galvo is different, so 3 of them adjustments are needed. For\\ this, the ILDA test pattern is used ,also a setup of the galvos in XY with a laser . If you need to\\ tune the driver faster to smaller angles, follow the procedure below . Also if the driver is totally\\ deadjusted , this will be the procedure to retune it : * Size, Servo-Gain, Damping und HF-Damping are adjusted counter clockwise to their left zero position. Now turn LFD 5 full rounds clockwise to right. * Connect computer with ILDA test pattern, run it at approx. 20kpps. * Power on the amplifiers. * Slowly open the **servo gain** (clockwise). The mirror of the galvo should move now to its middle position. If yes, turn two rounds clockwise. * Slowly open the **size** until you see the galvo moving. * Increase **servo gain** until you see overshoots. Correct it with **LFD**. * Decrease undershoots by opening the **HFD** pot slightly clockwise. Remove **gain/LFD** procedure and correct with **HFD**, until you the picture looks satisfying. Carefully fine tune the driver. The better your fine tuning is, the faster is the scanspeed. * Increase speed of test patterns and readjust for optimized picture {{:pasted:20201107-194611.png?500}} ===software=== [[https://gitlab.com/greenhouseinfo/max-svg-laser-cutter|greenhouseinfo/max-svg-laser-cutter]] \\ and idiot.io [[https://github.com/idiot-io/laser-dye|lasyer-dye fork]] ===control=== needs 3 channels of audio to control X/Y/PULSE\\ jack got me [[https://lexiconpro.com/en/products/alpha|this]] to test "has 1 stereo out and 2 mono"\\ {{:pasted:20201107-071411.png?500}} maybe [[http://www.axoloti.com|axoloti]] if i had it. ===diy=== {{:pasted:20201111-001008.png}} http://elm-chan.org/works/vlp/report_e.html
