DIY Laser Projector
Concept : Build a laserprojector as easy as possible
Basic Idea
An Atmega controlls 2 fast motors, checks keyboard input,controls GLCD and Power-Supply.
On each motor is a mirror-disk spinning to delect the laserlight.The first mirror deflects the light only in the horizontal layer, the second one deflects light on the vertical layer. I'm going to modulate the laser diode to draw images.
Parts used:

Overview
Syncronisationunit:
Detects position of the laserbeam
[eagle Dateien im labor-svn]
Better use a impedanceconveter, instead of voltage divieder.
Description
TODO Die LEDs leuchten auf den Spiegel, wodurch das reflektierte Licht auf die Photodioden fällt (nicht kritisch welche), wird differenziert, rauschgefiltert und verstärkt. Am Ausgang des OpAmp schneidet eine Diode die negative Spannung ab. Ist diese groß genug, schaltet der FET (BSS123) durch und zieht die Output Leitung auf Masse. Am anderen Ende der Leitung muss ein Pullup-Widerstand sein, der den Strom auf unter 100mA begrenzt. Versorgungsspannung: 3,7 bis 15 Volt (empfohlen 5 bis 12 Volt).
Syncsensor
Two small IR-LEDs are emitting light onto the spinning mirrors. The deflected light changes the current at the "fototransistor".
Saftyunit
The Saftyunit has to detect, that both mirrors are spinning fast enough, to prevent damage to anything in the laserbeam. The saftyunit cuts the laser power as soon as anything shows abnormal behavior.This is a class 3 laser, able to burn wood/paper/flesh even in a few meters distance !
Controlunit
Connected to the controlunit are GLCD, Keyboard, Horizontal-Motor, powersupply, i2C
Horizontal mirror
I received a "Laserunit" out of an Epson printer doing 24000 rpm with 7 mirroring sites. 24000*7/60 = 2800 deflections per second.
Lasersupplyunit
This circuit is able to regulate the current going trough the laserdiode. Its able to modulate the beam up to 1Mhz with a 0/3,3V input signal. The output is a rectangle modulated current with an adjustable offset and max. current. An OpAmp is missing in this circuit.
Imageconversionunit
ARM7 running at ~60 Mhz

Laserdiode
WARNING !
This is a class 3 laser, able to burn wood/paper/flesh even in a few meters distance !
Wear security goggles !
I'm using this laser to project an image at a very big surfaces ! This prevents serious eye damage when looking at the projected point!
Do not look into the beam!
1000mW (1W) Laserdiode 445nm blue 5,6mm
TODO:
- Redoing the whole concept
- Design SMD boards
- Buy new motors, mirrors, laser,...
