"really, I should label that..." Hilarious in true British fashion lol!

Smoke particles are sucked in by the fan instead of blown out...

this seems like something kipkay would do

The laser harp is a great hobby, ive built one myself only cost me £345 for all parts... If youu can build one DO IT, they are great fun....

I would say go on Dragon's Den so you can get funding to set up in business but a man who has taken 22 years of hard work to realize his dream shouldn't have to grovel to those miserable people.

He must be talking about the glycerin particles in the fog that is used to make the beams visible. That stuff will destroy electronics. The haunted house I ran was a good indication of that.

[Laura041974]

That smoke is disgusting to breathe in while singing. It gets in your throat and makes it dry. I had to do it once.

@Laura041974 Professional venues should use hazers, not fog machines, that doesn't seem very professional of that production department :( Unless of course it was somehow used in a play or musical, then.... Nevermind :)

[Laura041974]

I was playing the witch in Hansel and Gretel at Middle school in 1985 and the smoke was coming out of the oven that she was going cook them in, they end up pushing the witch into it. So it covered up how non convincing the cardboard oven was.

If something bad happens if the DINs are mixed up then why did you use two identical DIN plugs? My experience is that if something bad can happen eventually it will...

[waretape]

Why dont you sell complete units on ebay? Something wrong is behind.

[dumapies]

how much would it cost assembled and ready for use? because i wouldn't trust myself making one

[lmc169]

that would be bad!!! LOL

[zarkane]

Any chance you'll update with more info? Have been considering a new hobby, and this looks like fun. Any chance of a wiring diagram?

[shobley]

I'm probably not going to post the whole thing as one diagram, but I will be posting a little at a time, explaining each piece, in a logical manner.

Trust me, if you're trying to build one, it's much better to tackle it one piece at a time, then all at once.

[shobley]

Due to popular demand I'm putting together a complete package with schematics and source code. As soon as I can get it finished it'll be up on my site.

Thanks for the detailed explanations too, great to see how you made it happen!
