Acemen!

You pics are really beautiful!

I keep looking at them trying to figure stuff out.....

Please be encouraged to upload them to this server as attachments. That way the members get thumbnails and we get an archive.

Alec (Blinken) admins here mostly and he's going to get the gallery going again soon, so there is another place to share your creativity.

THANK YOU !!!

Thanks alot, and thanks for your  support. I will upload my stuff  there, ok.
I'll be laying out then exposing and etching my amp board on to copper this week. I'll send some photos of the PCB when done. I still need to make a permanent 24V regulated supply for the aom's , and If I ever find the correct transformer on ebay, finish my HeNe laser supply, and box it up. Some tweaks,
and then IM DONE! I might get lenses and use them with the aoms, but that adds to the complexity and frustration of alignment but does make a much nicer dot. I might also tune up the galvos if need be.

I don't mind checking it out. I try to keep an open mind. I can throw windoze on a drive to play. I really want to check out the games.
And maybe.. just maybe thees things will work with WINE.

Thanks

You didn't answer my question in the PL thread:
"Looks like you have overshoot and small signal response issues. What op amps are you using, and are they decoupled? "

it looks like an amp issue to me.

umm NJM4580, and yes both rails decoupled at each amp and bigger caps at the power input.
