Thats a great projector. You are big time now. It reminds me of what I used to work with at Sea World.

Thanks

James let me know what you think of The Beatles version. I have almost all of the GH games except The Beatles.

I read over at PL that someone bought a China projector and got nailed with import fees of a couple hundred dollars.
Buyer beware.

I don't care, it's a fun game.
I don't have a musical note in my body. Never did, but Guitar Hero lets me think I can play.
Me and all my neighbors have the game, we get togother on the weekend have a few drinks and pretend we're rock stars.

Thats what it's all about. Right?

Carefull I've heard bad things about these projectors. Like:

Zero tech support (anyone here really wouldn't need it though).
Lower than speced laser outputs.
Slower than speced scan speeds.
Flimsy optical mounts.
Low effeincy optics.
Bla Bla Bla. You get the idea.

If you go into this knowing and accept all of this $400 isn't bad.

Thanks Gary, I really appreciate it.

Sorry I haven't had any time to do testing lately. I've been renovating the master bathroom over the holiday break (2 weeks of hell). I should have it done in the next few days and be able to continue playing with the new features.

Me too. I thought about buying new diodes and trying to fix them. The diode is easy to get to and replace.

2 words DUMMY LOAD ! ! ! !

Ok, Pot calling Kettle black.

FYI I did use a dummy load. Like you "I didn't know what I was doing" or I wouldn't have blown them up. I simply over drove them trying to get out as much as possible.

I know what I did now and learned from it.

So when do you think you'll be ready for some Beta testing?

I have one of those Axiz lasers too. I modulate it with a Flexmod driver. It seems to work fairly well for what I do. It took me a couple trys to get them set right though. I blew up 2 before I got it right. I would have blown up this one without Dr. Lavas help at SELEM.
Third times the charm (right)?

We should invite this guy to the forum and show him what we can do.
