That's insane!

[aegistron]

by the way; I saw this live on tejeez' oscilloscope and I've got to say that it looks way better live (probably because of the poor framerate of the video)

Very awesome! I want my oscilloscope to do this :D

I think this really calls for a future DIY Make project using:

1. A pair of broken or cheap headphones. (speakers must work)

2. Some epoxy to glue stuff together.

3. Tiny fingertip sized mirror.

4. A decent laser pointer.

5. Some kind of rig/scaffold to hold stuff together.

6. Saving soundcard output of this demo to an .mp3 file.

7. An MP3 player to play such file.

8. Enough cleverness to make sense of the above and put it together in a way that actually works.

I bet it wouldn't be much of a step to change this from driving X and Y coils that guide an electron beam to X and Y solenoids that drive a tiny mirror's deflection angle. Such an adaptation of this would be really cool for laser shows!

CRAZY! Who wrote it ? and where is the sound coming from when X/Y is coming from soundcard (L/R Speaker) ?

[mushk45]

This is just jaw dropping.

Just curious - do you do any Z-axis pulsing? Or just write XY values and count on the beam moving that fast so as not 'write' as it moves?

I'm guessing that the movement is fast enough that there is no need to 'blank' via Z-axis (beam intensity) control.

[wiredance]

not exactly, it's way more complex then that.

demos are composed, directed, and huge effort is put into them. not just randomly generated to music following a set of routines.

You are kidding me, the demo for the oscilloscope :P. But that's the game console too, not forget the first game ever Tennis for two (before the Pong :P) :).

So good there is a scene for that too xD

waooooooo

1:20 kinda looked like the firewire/IEEE logo thing
