Title: TTL frequency
Post by: f3nix on July 23, 2017, 12:04:44 PM

Hi.
Is it possible to make the TTL frequency higher?

My laser module needs about 1000khz.

Cheers,
Mateusz

The LaserShark has two analog outputs and one TTL output. The outputs are updated once every time a sample is updated (which corresponds to the PPS rating you have choosen).

I have not heard of a laser requiring a particular frequency. Usually what you see is the maximum ttl frequency that they can be operated with. What laser are you working with?

Hi,
I'm using this laser module:
https://www.civillaser.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=32_34&products_id=130

The problem is that with lasershark_stdin_circlemaker the laser is very dim. It is visilbe from 5cm only.
I have checked with all three outputs.

With lasershark_jack and using playilda from openlase everything works as expected (full power and distance).

I do not know what is going on here.

I'm doing something wrong for sure since I've just started  :-[

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers,
Mateusz

If it works with lasershark_jack and playilda it sounds like the laser is hooked up correctly.

with lasershark_stdin_circlemaker do you see the circle (just a very dim one?). Have you modified the program to change the laser brightness? What do the text lines output to lasershark_stdin look like?
