==== LJ ====<br />
LJ is a laser framework and server for up to 4 ILDA lasers/etherdreams. You get : easy DIY plugins, alignement, monitoring,...<br />
([https://github.com/tmpbci/LJ code] and [https://www.teamlaser.tk/lj/index.html website])<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
The main idea is to add interactivity to "leisure" lasers. i.e with a gamepad one can play to old style vector games on city buildings. Again you must have control on anything in front of laser light. See picture at bottom.<br />
<br />
Different levels of complexity are possible. Commercial lasers uses ilda files/connections to draw whatever you want, but you can build your own, see hardware section.<br />
<br />
* The very fast and easy plan is to switch ilda scenes according to some inputs. You can use already made ilda files (see download section) in a SDcard plugged inside the laser fixture and use DMX protocol to switch. DMX usb cards are cheap, usually we use enttec ones. DMX controlled lasers are cheaper but quite limited to ilda files.<br />
* If the plan is too draw live, it depends on the laser fixture DIY or commercial. Lot of possibilities depending on the number of colors, from using an arduino, a 5.1 USB soundcard, up to use commercials (opensource) cards using the standarts ilda connect ports.<br />
* In any way, such lasers must feature X- and Y-scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) in order to position the beam accurately<br />
<br />
== Hardware ==<br />
<br />
Obviously there is DIY Lasers and commercial ones and there is a bunch of cards integrating some DACs to talk to the laser fixture. <br><br />
A great forum for bootstrap your project is [http://laserfreak.net/forum/index.php laser freak] that comes in different langages. <br><br />
<br />

* an ilda DB25 ports RGB commercial laser for clubs with an [http://ether-dream.com/ Etherdream] USB DAC card.<br />
<br />
=== Commercial Lasers ===<br />
<br />
'''Warning !''' Not all lasers can draw anything ! Only the ones featuring scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) for the X- and Y-axes can do it (unlike the cheapest ones, which only draw random patterns).<br />
<br />
On commercial lasers, the standard way to drive the beam is the [http://laserfx.com/Backstage.LaserFX.com/Systems/Pinouts9.html DB25-connector-based ILDA interface] (source : laserfx.com). It is based on analog differential control signals.<br />
<br />
Therefore you'll need some external hardware capable of outputting such signals, be it standalone or controlled by a host computer. Such hardware is usually named concisely "DAC".<br />
<br />
=== DIY Lasers ===<br />
<br />
[http://elm-chan.org/works/vlp/report_e.html] : a DIY laser projector made from scratch.<br />
<br />
Even the galvanometers are home-built !<br />
<br />
In particular, there is a detailed study of the design of the galvanometers' servo loop control : galvanometers feature inertia like any mechanical devices, and achieving fast and accurate moves requires to "compensate" the galvanometers' drive signals with respect to their sensed position.<br />

LJ is a laser framework and server for up to 4 ILDA lasers/etherdreams. You get : easy DIY plugins, alignement, monitoring,...<br />
([https://github.com/tmpbci/LJ code] and [https://www.teamlaser.tk/lj/index.html website])<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
The main idea is to add interactivity to "leisure" lasers. i.e with a gamepad one can play to old style vector games on city buildings. Again you must have control on anything in front of laser light. See picture at bottom.<br />
<br />
Different levels of complexity are possible. Commercial lasers uses ilda files/connections to draw whatever you want, but you can build your own, see hardware section.<br />
<br />
* The very fast and easy plan is to switch ilda scenes according to some inputs. You can use already made ilda files (see download section) in a SDcard plugged inside the laser fixture and use DMX protocol to switch. DMX usb cards are cheap, usually we use enttec ones. DMX controlled lasers are cheaper but quite limited to ilda files.<br />
* If the plan is too draw live, it depends on the laser fixture DIY or commercial. Lot of possibilities depending on the number of colors, from using an arduino, a 5.1 USB soundcard, up to use commercials (opensource) cards using the standarts ilda connect ports.<br />
* In any way, such lasers must feature X- and Y-scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) in order to position the beam accurately<br />
<br />

Obviously there is DIY Lasers and commercial ones and there is a bunch of cards integrating some DACs to talk to the laser fixture. <br><br />

=== Commercial Lasers ===<br />
<br />
'''Warning !''' Not all lasers can draw anything ! Only the ones featuring scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) for the X- and Y-axes can do it (unlike the cheapest ones, which only draw random patterns).<br />
<br />
On commercial lasers, the standard way to drive the beam is the [http://laserfx.com/Backstage.LaserFX.com/Systems/Pinouts9.html DB25-connector-based ILDA interface] (source : laserfx.com). It is based on analog differential control signals.<br />
<br />
Therefore you'll need some external hardware capable of outputting such signals, be it standalone or controlled by a host computer. Such hardware is usually named concisely "DAC".<br />
<br />

<br />
Even the galvanometers are home-built !<br />
<br />
In particular, there is a detailed study of the design of the galvanometers' servo loop control : galvanometers feature inertia like any mechanical devices, and achieving fast and accurate moves requires to "compensate" the galvanometers' drive signals with respect to their sensed position.<br />

LJ is a laser framework and server for up to 4 ILDA lasers/etherdreams. You get : easy DIY plugins, alignement, monitoring,...<br />
([https://github.com/tmpbci/LJ code] and [https://www.teamlaser.tk/lj/index.html website])<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
The main idea is to add interactivity to "leisure" lasers. i.e with a gamepad one can play to old style vector games on city buildings. Again you must have control on anything in front of laser light. See picture at bottom.<br />
<br />
Different levels of complexity are possible. Commercial lasers uses ilda files/connections to draw whatever you want, but you can build your own, see hardware section.<br />
<br />
* The very fast and easy plan is to switch ilda scenes according to some inputs. You can use already made ilda files (see download section) in a SDcard plugged inside the laser fixture and use DMX protocol to switch. DMX usb cards are cheap, usually we use enttec ones. DMX controlled lasers are cheaper but quite limited to ilda files.<br />
* If the plan is too draw live, it depends on the laser fixture DIY or commercial. Lot of possibilities depending on the number of colors, from using an arduino, a 5.1 USB soundcard, up to use commercials (opensource) cards using the standarts ilda connect ports.<br />
* In any way, such lasers must feature X- and Y-scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) in order to position the beam accurately<br />
<br />
== Hardware ==<br />
<br />
Obviously there is DIY Lasers and commercial ones and there is a bunch of cards integrating some DACs to talk to the laser fixture. <br><br />

'''Warning !''' Not all lasers can draw anything ! Only the ones featuring scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) for the X- and Y-axes can do it (unlike the cheapest ones, which only draw random patterns).<br />
<br />
On commercial lasers, the standard way to drive the beam is the [http://laserfx.com/Backstage.LaserFX.com/Systems/Pinouts9.html DB25-connector-based ILDA interface] (source : laserfx.com). It is based on analog differential control signals.<br />
<br />
Therefore you'll need some external hardware capable of outputting such signals, be it standalone or controlled by a host computer. Such hardware is usually named concisely "DAC".<br />

<br />
LJ ([https://github.com/tmpbci/LJ code] and [https://www.teamlaser.tk/lj/index.html website]) is a laser framework and server for up to 4 ILDA lasers/etherdreams. You get : easy DIY plugins, alignement, monitoring,...<br />
<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
The main idea is to add interactivity to "leisure" lasers. i.e with a gamepad one can play to old style vector games on city buildings. Again you must have control on anything in front of laser light. See picture at bottom.<br />
<br />
Different levels of complexity are possible. Commercial lasers uses ilda files/connections to draw whatever you want, but you can build your own, see hardware section.<br />
<br />
* The very fast and easy plan is to switch ilda scenes according to some inputs. You can use already made ilda files (see download section) in a SDcard plugged inside the laser fixture and use DMX protocol to switch. DMX usb cards are cheap, usually we use enttec ones. DMX controlled lasers are cheaper but quite limited to ilda files.<br />
* If the plan is too draw live, it depends on the laser fixture DIY or commercial. Lot of possibilities depending on the number of colors, from using an arduino, a 5.1 USB soundcard, up to use commercials (opensource) cards using the standarts ilda connect ports.<br />
* In any way, such lasers must feature X- and Y-scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) in order to position the beam accurately<br />

'''Warning !''' Not all lasers can draw anything ! Only the ones featuring scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) for the X- and Y-axes can do it (unlike the cheapest ones, which only draw random patterns).<br />
<br />
On commercial lasers, the standard way to drive the beam is the [http://laserfx.com/Backstage.LaserFX.com/Systems/Pinouts9.html DB25-connector-based ILDA interface] (source : laserfx.com). It is based on analog differential control signals.<br />

<br />
The laser group at /tmp/lab is known as /team/laser. [http://www.teamlaser.tk http://www.teamlaser.tk]<br />
<br />
LJ ([https://github.com/tmpbci/LJ code] and [https://www.teamlaser.tk/lj/index.html website]) is a laser framework and server for up to 4 ILDA lasers/etherdreams. You get : easy DIY plugins, alignement, monitoring,...<br />
<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
The main idea is to add interactivity to "leisure" lasers. i.e with a gamepad one can play to old style vector games on city buildings. Again you must have control on anything in front of laser light. See picture at bottom.<br />
<br />
Different levels of complexity are possible. Commercial lasers uses ilda files/connections to draw whatever you want, but you can build your own, see hardware section.<br />
<br />
* The very fast and easy plan is to switch ilda scenes according to some inputs. You can use already made ilda files (see download section) in a SDcard plugged inside the laser fixture and use DMX protocol to switch. DMX usb cards are cheap, usually we use enttec ones. DMX controlled lasers are cheaper but quite limited to ilda files.<br />
* If the plan is too draw live, it depends on the laser fixture DIY or commercial. Lot of possibilities depending on the number of colors, from using an arduino, a 5.1 USB soundcard, up to use commercials (opensource) cards using the standarts ilda connect ports.<br />
* In any way, such lasers must feature X- and Y-scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) in order to position the beam accurately<br />
<br />
== Hardware ==<br />
<br />
Obviously there is DIY Lasers and commercial ones and there is a bunch of cards integrating some DACs to talk to the laser fixture. <br><br />

'''Warning !''' Not all lasers can draw anything ! Only the ones featuring scanners (i.e. galvanometer-moved mirrors) for the X- and Y-axes can do it (unlike the cheapest ones, which only draw random patterns).<br />
<br />
On commercial lasers, the standard way to drive the beam is the [http://laserfx.com/Backstage.LaserFX.com/Systems/Pinouts9.html DB25-connector-based ILDA interface] (source : laserfx.com). It is based on analog differential control signals.<br />
<br />
Therefore you'll need some external hardware capable of outputting such signals, be it standalone or controlled by a host computer. Such hardware is usually named concisely "DAC".<br />

<div>This page explain how to use Iridium satellite constellation for short burst data messages with a rockblock device.<br /><br />
You'll need to pay for the monthly fee (6 £) and buy credits to use this how to.<br /><br />
All text with these recipes will transfer without crypto. If you need crypto or a web interface, try [[Sat Messenger / RBS]]<br />
<br />
= Software =<br />
<br />
* See the hardware part to setup serial communication.<br />
* Get serial communication software like coolterm or picocom.<br />
* Depending on your computer select the right serial port like : /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/tty.usbserial (type ls /dev/ in a terminal)<br />
* Setup 19200 baud and default 0D 0A line feed is fine. (Official Rock7 documentation is wrong !!)<br />
* Repository for python style : [https://github.com/tmpbci/satmessenger here]<br />
<br />
You need to type "AT Commands" and the rockblock will answer like all modems. You can start with <br />

* AT+SBDSX gives if the RING is set, but the number of waiting messages are unknown <br />
* With a SBDIX command, one can get the first waiting message transfered from space to MT buffer and will set the RING to 0 <br />
* The message text in MT buffer can be read with AT+SBDRT<br />
* A new AT+SBDSX gives the number of still waiting messages. If any, again : ask for transfer in MT buffer and read it.<br />

<hr />
<div>Work in progress<br />
<br />
== What ? ==<br />
<br />
* It's *cheap* and *encrypted* short message gateway : email/web <- iridium constellation -> Somewhere on earth<br />
* Each 50 character long messages can be 0.05 euros. Remember the SMS at the beginning ?<br />
* Sat messenger is the satellite part of RBS project : "Recovery Base Station", a cheaper and encrypted version of University of Berkeley [http://kurti.sh/pubs/rbs-dev14.pdf "Rescue Base Station"].<br />
* There is a info website about this [http://www.satmessenger.org project] to speed up recovery after a major event like earthquake, tsnumai where no available communication/power infrastructure are running.<br />
* This project provides everything in a local Web interface. If you want to learn how to do it roughly follow explanations at [[raw sat]]<br />
* Code has many flavors with or without crypto, command line, web UI,... Soon on github<br />
<br />
== Sat Messenger ==<br />
<br />
* Messages follow a predefined format : destinationemail text. Like : foo@bar.com I'm fine<br />
* "API" refers to rock7 API.<br />
* Repository : [https://github.com/tmpbci/satmessenger here]<br />
<br />
=== Somewhere to Internet via sat ===<br />
<br />
Sending a message from somewhere, is called "Mobile Originated" (MO).<br />
Different possibilities are available for the "computer" connected to the sat modem. <br />
<br />
* web form (python + twisted)<br />
* command line tool "mo".<br />
<br />
Once satellite constellation have forwarded the text to the ground, the API can send the text to an email or to a http POST server. Obviously sending directly to destination email defeat the purpose of privacy. So the "Mainserver" code can receive the API http POST, decrypt and email the text to destination. (python + twisted)<br />
<br />
=== Internet to somewhere via sat ===<br />
<br />
It's the "Mobile Terminated case (MT). These programs make the http POST connection to the API<br />
<br />
* web form (python + twisted)<br />
* command line tool "mt".<br />
<br />
* rock7 website, but with no encryption.<br />
<br />
Like voicemails, to receive messages, one need to start a connection to satellite, ask for queued message and get them one by one.<br />
<br />
== Hardware ==<br />
<br />
* This project is based on "Short Burst Data" ("SBD"), text messages with a Iridium 9602 Modem + antenna.<br />
* All in one version (antenna, modem) can be found at rock7.com. We own a [http://www.rock7.com/products-rockblock-plus Rockblock +]<br />
* We chose the Rockblock +, because of rugged, waterproof and wide alimentation choices (9-30V DC). It can run on a 9V battery, 12V car battery / sun panel,...<br />
* Basic soldering skills are needed, no custom PCB here, yet.<br />
<br />
=== Computer version ===<br />
<br />
* USB RS232 serial DB9 adapter.<br />
* A computer<br />
<br />
=== Embeded version ===<br />
<br />
* Any Raspberry Pi 1 +<br />
* tplink 703N to provide wifi (but gl.inet is a better choice now)<br />
* a 12V to 5V converter.<br />
* USB RS232 serial DB9 adapter.<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
* rock7 documentation is sometimes wrong. i.e serrial communication with the modem use actually the standart 0D 0A end of line.<br />
* [http://www.makersnake.com/rockblock/ makersnake] [https://github.com/MakerSnake/pyRockBlock library] is a great start for the python way. Altough some URL has changed and some script are not complete. Most of our end user code is heavily based on the awesome works makersnake published. Many commands have been added to the original makersnake Rockblock.py.<br />

* Each 50 character long messages can be 0.05 euros. Remember the SMS at the beginning ?<br />
* Sat messenger is the satellite part of RBS project : "Recovery Base Station", a cheaper and encrypted version of University of Berkeley [http://kurti.sh/pubs/rbs-dev14.pdf "Rescue Base Station"].<br />
* There is a info website about this [http://www.satmessenger.org project] to speed up recovery after a major event like earthquake, tsnumai where no available communication/power infrastructure are running.<br />
* This project provides everything in a local Web interface. If you want to learn how to do it roughly follow explanations at [[raw sat]]<br />
* Code has many flavors with or without crypto, command line, web UI,... Soon on github<br />

Sending a message from somewhere, is called "Mobile Originated" (MO).<br />
Different possibilities are available for the "computer" connected to the sat modem. <br />
<br />
* web form (python + twisted)<br />
* command line tool "mo".<br />
<br />
Once satellite constellation have forwarded the text to the ground, the API can send the text to an email or to a http POST server. Obviously sending directly to destination email defeat the purpose of privacy. So the "Mainserver" code can receive the API http POST, decrypt and email the text to destination.

<br />

<div>This page explain how to use Iridium satellite constellation for short burst data messages with a rockblock device.<br /><br />
You'll need to pay for the monthly fee and buy credits to use this how to.<br /><br />
All text with these recipes will transfer without crypto. If you need crypto try [[Sat Messenger / RBS]]<br />
<br />
= Software =<br />
<br />
* See the hardware part to setup serial communication.<br />
* Get serial communication software like coolterm or picocom.<br />
* Setup 19200 baud and 0D 0A line feed. (Official Rock7 documentation is wrong !!)<br />
<br />
You need to type "AT Commands" and the rockblock will answer like all modems. You can start with <br />
AT <br />
The modem will answer :<br />
OK<br />
