Thanks to David Powell from the Baltimore Hackerspace for sending in some details about the Lasershark which is a Laser Projector Project. It uses a LPC1343 – 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller to run the show, make sure you watch the video below to see this thing in action!
“This board is intended to be a low cost open-source USB Showcard for folks who want to make their own 1 or 2 analog/ttl laser projector. To use it, you will need to make or obtain:
- One or two lasers capable of TTL or (ideally) 0-5v analog modulation and power supplies for the lasers
- Galvos, galvo amplifiers, galvo amplifier heatsinks, and a power supply for these components. For a cheap source of galvos, ebay is a good spot to check. I would suggest getting as high Kpps units as you can afford (at least 20).
- Computer with usb port.”
