Couple years back I made a laser project with mirrors and motors (you can see my laser projector here) but here’s another great DIY laser projector using motors and mirrors, much more advanced.
The main hardware setup consists of a Laser and two motors. A mirror is attached to each motor in a way that the mirror is slightly tilted to the axis of the motor. when the motor rotates the mirror the plane of the mirror is

I can’t believe it’s been 3 freakin’ years since the first time I reviewed green lasers that I got for free as a sample from DragonLasers. Anyways, thanks to Frank at DragonLasers, I had some really good fun for the 12 months or so promoting DragonLasers, wish I had one again now since I could probably do some 1080P HD videos.
Well, just sayin’, it helps to go back in time, to
An RGV laser is a laser capable of producing any color, mixed with red, green, and blue. If you want to make one of these awesome RGV lasers, you can actually do it with the White Fusion package plus the full color driver.
This seems like a great way to kill some time and make some just extra-ordinary, don’t you think?
Couple years back, I had my attempt (I like to call it Poor Man’s attempt btw) at making a simple laser projector. Well, I’ve seen better ones including this lego laser projector that uses diffraction grating to literally shoot laser beams into abysmal pit of awesomeness!
Looking for new ways to make a DIY Laser show? Well, last year I used mirrors and PC fans to make a simple party green laser projector, there’s also ways to use sound “frequencies” to make the laser respond. Any form of light will be affected by the frequency change in the sound if it’s loud and close enough. (You can also take an example of an oscilloscope and speaker example at Exploratorium h
Check out these cool Lightsaber Laser Pointers, I would love to see these hacked with green laser pointers, that would make them more powerful and realistic. Perhaps, I will do it soon!
Here’s an interesting DIY Laser Plotter that uses 300mW Laser and allows you to plot your illustrations on things like wood or any thin film. Of course, I think you can also use much higher-powered, industry laser to actually cut through the wood and other materials but this is a great guide for those of you who want to get started with a DIY Laser Plotter.
The 300mW laser is not as powerful as I’d like it to be, but it can cut thin films, bite some 10-12mm into high density foam and pyroengrave wood.
Lasers are always fun (and dangerous to point in someone’s eye), here’s an awesome DIY laser project that shows you how to make super-duper-powerful RGB laser system that can rock your next party at home! (Well, I wouldn’t really use it for parties though…)
Here’s a rather interesting laser pointer project that can detect where laser is pointed on a surface and will execute a desired command that you can set. I think this type of project can be very useful for certain applications, enjoy~~
Laserspotcam is a software I wrote to control xmms using a laser pointer by pointing defined areas on a wall.
The software monitors the wall for the presence of a small spot using a webcam. When the spot appears somew
Wow, here’s an awesome laser DIY that shows you how to make a 7-color laser. Yes, a laser that can shoot out 7 different types of lasers. I guess the creator of this laser followed the directions from here and you can see the results here.
I just went for the 7 color laser, not the spiro. How Rog gets all of that to fit into his small box is beyond me. I thought I would share just a couple of things I
