I have a visible/printable layer for part of the template.

With the dimensions correct I grouped parts of the object and assigned it to a layer. I used a paper clip to make holes in the printed paper tests to fit over those alignment tabs.Īfter many test prints and tweaks to the dimensions, I finalized the template.

So a little extra work now, may save you time later. but, they help align the slide into the tray. I supposed you could snap those off, to make the process easier. Pay attention to any protrusions, like the three raised parts. You'll want the same shape so the slide will fit inside the tray. I then recreated it as a template in Visio. I used a digital caliber to check the dimensions of the slide. The version I'm using has two little plastic tabs that need to be pried open. I'm used to using Microsoft Visio, but any SVG editor should work just as well. I still have not found out who programmed the laser show Let it Snow whoever did it as I had said before nice Job and it was great having it to use for the project.1st step was determining the size of the slides inside the trays, and making a template. I keep the shortcut on my desktop and it works fine. For the record its a great product and I will be purchasing more down the road I have run the laser projector wireless with a spare WAP plugged into the RIYA multibus, I named it laser projector pretty cool just look for laser projector under wireless access points on the laptop select it warns you no internet available (hackers will scratch there heads,) I just ignore that and away I go.įYI for LDS users I have found that you need to create a shortcut from the program file for the realtime.exe when running the projector on the network if I go to start and try to run it from there it cant find the device. Riya sent me a PM reminding me that the product is Riya Multibus not Ryia like I put in the original post TYPO. I hope to do more next year and add blue laser beams. Lava I could not have done it without your help. The laser show is let it snow I got it off the ILDA Swap ftp a while back and am not sure who to give credit to please let me know and I will, nice show I did not have time to put one of my own together so it worked out well. I put the audio in to a Low power broadcast stereo FM transmitter so cars would be able to hear it when they drove by sounded really nice for about a block. I may add beams next year to that part if my Wife finds a new job both of these shows worked as an endless loop it ran for hours with out a hiccup. Lava also sent me some files that I could load into LDS and see some examples of how to put TTL on the time line, one was an example one bit on one bit off and the other was all bits on and all bits off I ended up using both in the project here is the end result the first is the laser show and the second is the light sync with no lasers this year. Lava and asking him about the TTL capabilities of LDS and the RYIA multi bus he sent me a picture of what pinouts needed to be soldered in order to get TTL out I have also attached this be warned there will be some changes to the pin outs on the upcoming rev I did not use pin 7 and 8 so I left them unsoldered in anticpation of the update from RYIA, also the board is ESD sensitive so take precautions. I have attached a schematic so if you want to do this next year you will know the color code. then applied 3 volts to each wire figuring out which channel it went to. I opened the thing up and to my surprise I found a 6 channel relay card that was connected to the main board that had the Midi eprom on it there was a multiwire connector that fed 3volts to the relays I removed the connector and figured out the ground then hooked up Christmas lights to all 6 channels. Christmas lights and sounds of Christmas controller that I got a couple years back for 30 dollars in fact I had two I really did not like the cheesy midi files that synced the lights you had no real control over anything and the audio was tinny. At first I was going to purchase an 8 channel TTL board but remembered that I had a Mr. I wanted to use the TTL outputs of the RYIA multibus with Laser Design Studio to sync my Christmas lights to music using the time line I was able to have a laser show let it snow come up first then the sync light show came up to Christmas Cannon. I wanted to share a project that I worked on before Christmas with the help of Dr.
