    the driver is a simple audio amplifier. yes, the dac works with the old 25 pin printer port. you better stop thinking of building these galvos because there are cheap china galvos wich are working much better.

    so it will be 6k per minute.what did you make drivers of? any TDA or other amplifiers?do you use old printer port?problem is i have new PC and usb to printer port will not work

    the galvos are open loop. there is no position detection. on popelscan with a parallelport dac the speed is about 100pps.

    hi,nice and simple job.what is aproximately speed of galvos,better than step motors?are they close loop?have you installed any additional position sensors?

    Outstanding work on your project! 5 STARS*****

    Never mind. I guess you’re the expert…

    don’t be a jerk, don’t try and get him to change the name when you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Scanner means an xy projector.

    Ach du Schande…

    Da bin ich mit der Taste durcheinandergekommen…

    NATÜRLICH meine ich 450nm (458 um genau zu sein)

    450nm sind so weit ich weiß kein Laserlicht.

    445 sind Diodenlaser.

  9. Gulaschtorte July 30, 2010 14:50

    450nm sichtbares rot ?? NEIN !!!!
    in DVD Brennern sind 658nm Dioden(=rot), in CD Brennern 780nm (=IR) und in bluray Laufwerken 405nm (=blau/violett)
    450nm bekommt man vlt. mit einem Argon-Ionen-Laser hin aber nicht mit einem Diodenlaser !!!!

  10. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 15:21

    Nein geht es nicht.

    In CD-Laufwerken sind IR-Laser drin.

    In DVD-Brennern hingegen welche mit 450nm, also sichtbar rot ;)

  11. HorrorPyro July 30, 2010 15:51

    sehe hier grade viele videos wo lader aus dvd brenner umgabeut werden, geht das auch mit normale cd laufwerke?

    @FesixGermany: Naja schaut iwie etwas merkwürdig aus dein ergebnis. Für den Anfang sicherlich nich übel aber ausbaufähig ^^

    Ziel eines Scannes ists ja Objekte darstellen zu können oder halt jede beliebige XY Position anzufahren.

  13. Beater06 July 30, 2010 17:08

    lol guys :D If you dont know what about you are talking about shut up.

    Laser “Projectors” are called Laser Scanners. It has nothing to do with scanning objects. They scan the sound level / frequency and represent this in a laser scene.

  14. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 17:27

    But a synonym for laser galvo is laser scanner and not laser projector ;)

  15. bitsurfer0101 July 30, 2010 17:55

    You’re not scanning any objects. You’re just “projecting” the laser hence the request for the name change.

  16. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 18:41

    Why??

  17. transistorbaluba July 30, 2010 19:29

    you emitt lazer. you don’t resive lazer.

  18. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 19:58

    Huh?

    What do you mean?

  19. transistorbaluba July 30, 2010 20:50

    it’s not a lazer scanner! it’s a lazer projektor!

  20. ostace1983 July 30, 2010 20:59

    nice, my is the same, a have question, what is this song

  21. meyzn July 30, 2010 21:33

    yes, thank you ..

  22. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 21:35

    Hello

    On 0:55 it’s a Neodymium Magnet (5mm in diameter) with two pieces of 2mm steel shaft. The shaft will be put between these two pieces and a 2nd magnet will be put on it ( 1:02 / 1:05 ).

    Outside of the Galvo is a 3rd magnet. It’s a torsion magnet so the shaft turns at it’s start position.

    I hope, I can help you.

  23. meyzn July 30, 2010 21:44

    i’ll try to build one but i have 2 questions ..
    what’s that at 0:55 .. is an magnet or just “iron cap” .. and what is at the 1:15 on the outside of the galvo .. same thing as the first .. or ..

  24. ideegeniali July 30, 2010 22:17

    In fact, it’s fast :-) I was telling belgvr motors wouldn’t do the trick, while a homebuilt galvanometer like this would.
    Clever idea to solder PCB material for assembly!
    I built a spyrograph laser beam with 2 dc motors, will have to switch to galvanometers some day, and will try the way you did, if I have time…

  25. FesixGermany July 30, 2010 22:19

    This is a galvanometer ;)
