Beam Switch Shutter

[housedeejay]

Hi, sorry for writnig here but I was at English laserfreak and it seems that nobody is active there...

I want to build simple Laser Bank...I think about 3 - 5 effects.
So I need beam switches...and those would be controlled from Popelscan with "D - Latches"

Is it possible to build these beam switches ?

Hello,

you can use beamswitches like "medialas STP8", which have a wide range of signal input voltage (4 to 20V is possible). You can also find older versions e.g. on eBay,... which work with 5V Input.

Or you make a DIY-project as like as MOT-1 steppers...

I will try to build DIY switches...

Is it possible to make this driver work with Poplescan DAC ?
