====== Old MaE devices - photogallery ======

===== MaE Countdown Projector =====

Main usage: last year's eve party. Actually it has been used in only one last year's eve.

A 800W alogen bulb was the light source. A stepper motor controlled the "numbers" wheel, and a PIC did the timings etc. Only one button to activate the countdown.

===== MaE Scanner / MaAl ScanControl =====

Creation date was 2004

First (and last) prototype of light scanner.

Details of Colour and Gobos wheels. Note the black tape indexes, used to stop motor at the right colour/gobo, because no stepper motor were used, only DC motor. Mirror was stepper motored.

A 250W alogen linear light bulb was light source. Focus lenses were then re-used for the countdown projector above in this page.

All the stuff was controlled by a PC, with 2 parallel ports, and DOS/QBasic software (ScanControl).

Pictured keys were sticked on a keyboard for use with the ScanControl software.

A normal tungsten 80/100W light bulb behind this coloured wheel did the "colour changer". Star shapes actually were not projected.
