Lasers fixed !

I finally managed to get a proper solution for fixing the lasers... I used a method I've seen on nuigroup.com, from AdrianH, which is very clever and also simple. As he says, "Basically, it is a piece of metal resting on 4 screw-nuts, so that it is possible to adjust height/roll easily and precisely" I couldn't explain it myself better :).




 I'll try to calibrate and make some resistance tests later, but the result feels pretty strong right now.

    Hi there,
    Your project is quite exactly what I have I mind for making my own MediaCenter/Cofee Table/Multitouch Device !
    Great, I'll might bother you with some questions :)

    Here is the first one: Is the limited vertical view angle of LCD a problem when you are sitting on your couch ?
    As the view angle from the top is often better than from the bottom, may be you inverted the screen upside-down ?

    And congrats !

    Hello Thomas,

    Ça me fait plaisir de voir que ce projet intéresse d'autres gens que moi ! :D

    N'hésite pas à poser des questions, si je peux y répondre, je le ferai avec plaisir.

    Concernant l'angle de vision, l'écran que j'ai utilisé est très bon : on voit très bien l'image, quelque soit l'angle.

    J'ai effectivement néanmoins interverti l'image (simple rotation à 180° dans les paramètres d'affichage) et installé le LCD à l'envers pour maximiser la qualité mais j'avoue que ce n'était pas spécialement nécessaire.

    A ta dispo !

    Hi, What laser did you use? I bought 4 x 780nm 25mw lasers but the blobs are too weak. what do you recommend? should I buy 60 mw 780nm laser? or 80mw? (is only +3 dolars) I hope to hearing from you soon, thanks!

    Hi there ! Sorry I was on holiday and couldn't reply to you :)

    I use 4 x 780nm 25mw lasers like you and I also have some trouble with the blob detection, especially in daylight, they're not quite steady :/

    I don't have time at the moment to test, but switching to 60mW seems a good idea. If you change for them, could you keep me posted if the blob are better?

    Cheers and keep up the hard work !
