LaserFreak Forum

Nice piece of kit, I have a couple questions about it though : -Can it be used for "small" laser shows, for parties with less than 30 people? Doing laser shows isn't my job, I'd just like to be able to do that in my future holiday house should I host a party for my family. More precisely, I'm plann...

Hi, sorry for super late reply, I don't browse this forum very often. The DAC does work on Linux. The libraries on github should work, but you might need root access or setting up usb udev rules. I will look at the current state of the github and try to test it myself on linux to see if something is...

This is amazing! I wonder, how nobody responded to such great news yet. Are there any Linux experiences yet? Best Thanks for the positive response :) Yes, I know of at least one guy that is using it on Linux. I have plans on eventually releasing my software LaserShowGen on Linux too, then this dac ...

Hi, I'd like to share my newest project: Helios Laser DAC. It's an USB to ILDA DAC, with fully open source hardware and software. It's low cost but still powerful with good specs: 12bit XY channels, 8bit RGBI channels, up to 65+ kpps, up to 4000+ max points in frames, plug and play automatic driver ...

In case you missed it, a while ago LasershowGen become FREE to use! Well, with some limitations. More info on the new main page for the project: http://pages.bitlasers.com/lasershowgen/ Since I last posted there have been many updates to the program, it support many more DACs, like Ether Dream, Lase...

Well I released a new update today, v1.2.3. It's a while since I posted in this forums so a lot have happened, but for example this version has preliminary support for output to DACs. But it's a bit meager still, only RIYA is supported as of now, and only one DAC at a time. Also, optimization have i...

New version today. Please note that the program have changed name, from ildaGen to LasershowGen . I should have realized sooner that I'm not actually allowed to use the name ILDA in my product, which I was informed of when I submitted the program to the ILDA awards. Sorry about that! The new name, (...

I just released version 0.9.9, one of several releases since the last time I posted in this thread. They are not huge releases, but if you have not updated yet, I very much recommend it. The program is getting more and more solid, with many bug fixes and small tweaks. There are also a few new featur...

New version today, v0.9.7.2. Another relatively minor update. Much of my work since the last release have been in features that didn't make this release, but there are some new stuff. The biggest change is that you can now save and load your ildaGen projects in a dedicated file format (.igf = IldaGe...

New version today, 0.9.7, and I am pretty happy with this release! In addition to two new major features, I have done a lot of tweaking and bug fixing, and I dare say it's an overall solid improvement. Also it looks a bit better with a new layout. Remember to NOT use the outdated download link in th...

I have a new version for you today, 0.9.6, with a bunch of new, very cool features if I dare say so myself! - Text tool You can now write text, thanks to Laserboy's font ilda files. You can choose from several different fonts, from fancy outlines to super scanner-friendly single-lined. - Shaking ani...

New version 0.9.5 ! http://bitlasers.com/opencart/index.php?route=product/product&path=67&product_id=82 In this version you can now load existing ilda files. You can also select already placed objects (and loaded ilda files) by using the up/down arrow keys, and remake them by reapplying all or some ...

NEW: HTML5 version! Create ilda files directly in your browsers without installing any programs: http://bitlasers.com/ildagen Keep in mind it is full of bugs, and browser support is a bit messy. If it does not work properly, try using another browser. Particularily the exporting seems to be broken ...

I've released a couple of updates in the last few days. Updated download links can always be found at ildaGen at Bitlasers.com I plan to release translated versions, for example German and French, sometime soon, as I'm sure many people here would like that. Unfortunately I don't speak them myself so...

Greetings! Today I am releasing the first public version of my new program, an ILDA frame creation tool called ildaGen. There are very few and limited ways to make your own ilda files without spending a lot of money on enterprise laser show suites. This program makes custom ilda frame production pos...
