This is an update on my new LLP setup.

24"x36"x1/2" Acrylic
(2) AlexP 850nm 10mW lasers (+5V from Computer PSU)
Rosco Grey
Simple Wood Vertical Stand
Optoma HD70 DLP 720p Projector
PGR FireFly MV
Thorlabs 850nm +/- 40nm bandpass filter

Preview video of the setup:

Wanted to give a quick thank you to all the contributors for all the great apps to try out, cannot wait to develop and post my own!

Coming Soon: Apps, a much larger rig (70-100” if possible), demo videos

Really nice results. What kind of rig you using?

Awesome. Your video looks good : )

Thanks! This video was actually taken with my webcam on a low frame rate, so you can notice a little bit of lag. I’m using the ROI feature now, and the FPS has skyrocketed to 112, so i’ll have to make a new video showing the speed increase.

looks great so far ..

if only i could buy a firefly

With the $50 shipping cost, I’m sure they could get it to where you are!

$50? where?.. in there mail they say its $100 :( + 200 for the cam and 100 for the devkit.. $400 currently a bit over my budget.. :(

Hmm yeah seems about right, but your shipping is $50 more. Mine was $50 overnight from Canada to New York.

Thats the same price quote i got and i’m in Toronto, you’d think for Canadians the shipping cost would be much lesser

The 100 is for fedex shipping, so it probably could be cheaper if you take a slower delivery..

Canada -> netherlands, well i guess thats a bit further then new york

I guess i’ll have to save, but first i gotta pass my motorcycle exams and buy myself a motor

It’s a ton of money, but after running your hand across the smoke app @ 112fps, trust me you’ll know you did the right thing! It’s incredible

i ordered a firefly MV Delivery date 08/19/2008 to the US and they don’t ship to Kuwait so I’m gonna have to wait 1 more week so DHL@Home mail box in Chicago deliver it to Kuwait meh :(

Great app Falcon!

The ROI setting is a Region Of Interest feature used on the FireflyMV FlyStream driver.

It reduces the area on the CCD in which to gather data from, increasing the FPS. The entire sensor is 768x480 I believe. In 320x240 ROI mode as AlexP has demonstrated, 112fps++ is possible.

but that’s cheating :D ...

Yea I know the sensor is quite large, but my table is pretty large too, so that makes it impossible to use a low resolution like 320x240.
