lasershark 2.1 no galvo movement

(1/3) > >>

jpilarski:
I had previous success getting the stdnin program and circlemaker working with the lasershark. The galvos moved and produced the image as expected. Now I am no longer getting any movement at the galvos. If I plug in the show card that came with the galvos I can make the galvos move just fine. How can I figure out the problem. It appears that I am able to connect just fine. Can you help me to figure this out. Perhaps the lights on the board can indicate something to pinpoint the issue.

Macpod:
These messages indicate that you are successfully talking to the LaserShark and that the program successfully started, ran, and ended.

If it ended immediately, it is because no more input was available to be output. This makes me suspect you are not piping in the output of circlemaker into the lasershark_stdin app correctly.

Can you paste the command you are using to run this? Also, what platform are you on?

jpilarski:
lasershark_stdin_circlemaker.exe | lasershark_stdin.exe is the command and I am using windows 7 x64. It worked fine earlier but now there is no movement. I tested the galvos and they work fine with showcard. thanks for the quick response. - jason

Macpod:
Ok, that is the proper way to pipe one command output into another.

Was I correct in assuming the program returned immediately when you run it (after outputting what you reported in the first post)? This should not happen, it should run until you stop it manually.

What happens if you just run lasershark_stdin_circlemaker.exe. Does it continuously stream a series of lines or does it end?

jpilarski:
It does run until you stop it. I have some txt programs that I pipe in stdin and the all seem to run as expected except the galvos aren't moving. Circlemker runs until you stop it.
