garageCube

Last night tried it on PC, it runs like a charm. I tested with Etherdream and Helios, everything is allright.
On mac 10.13.6 it crashes on exec. MM dont open at all. Any idea?

Yes, there's an issue with a library we're using on 10.13 or earlier. We solved that, I'll pm you a new build. We should make a beta 2 next week I suppose, just waiting for more feedback.

i was trying to get it to work but sadly it will not for now

setup
beyond advanced
madmapper beta
tarm 5 with fb4

setup zone 1 in beyond to be save
setup projectie output works
setup laser output i can select the pangolin zones
show laser cursor not working etc

some one already have it working ?

Hi, what portable laser would you recommend or have tested , and be compatible with MM5 ? I was looking at LaserCube by Laseros.com as want to travel with it , but understand it is different protocol ? Sorry , still kinda noob in laser environment . Another thing is DAC. Have noticed that Helios is the way to go..

Yesterday I was able to download the Mac and PC betas. I had to update my osx since I was still in high sierra, now from Big Sur I can't get past the login, I'm sure to write my username and pass correctly, but it indicates an error all the time. In the link to forgotten password open https://beta.madmapper.com/ and from there it does not happen ... I'm in a loop!
is there a problem with the page?

As for MadMapper 5, the new website & licensing system are all in beta, therefore still prone to hiccups.
You should now be able to log back in and try MadMapper 5.

Thanks for this GIANT upgrade <3 this will drive things to another insane level!!

i followed your instructions, but i can only download this:
is that right? thank you!

What would you like to download other than the MadMapper 5 Beta installers?

Hello,

I understood that the DAC as Ether Dream and Helios filter the whole data and decrease the laser performance (scanning).

If this is true, I would like to know if using showNET directly from MadLaser is therefore more performance than using ether Dream and Helios DAC ?

Best

Shownet : 12bit precision
Helios : 12bit precision
Etherdream: 16bit precision

End of the day, one can tell the differences in realife only in very specific situations/ content.

Will MadLaser support BeamBrush laser technology?

I´ve had the beta running in Bootcamp Windows, with 1 Etherdream, 1 Helios, and pipe to a bunch of Pangolin Beyond zones.

Clicked like a madman everywhere, tried to click and drag interface stuff that shouldn't be dragged, had 40-ish surfaces and paramenters animated via audio, weather data, MIDI and OSC from Vezér, input from hardware controller, Padmapper vectoring live camera input AND pushing video + a bunch of Artnet fixtures.

Could not make it crash.This will be life changing technology for my use

Kind of wish MM would have told us in advance that the MadLaser license was going to be an additional fee. I wouldn't have bought the Etherdream for $199 for experiments only to find out I'd have to spend another $250 to use in in MM.

Helios is cheaper + no psu needed as it is USB powered ...
However, Helios is 12bit precision vs 16bit Etherdream.

I'd still go for Helios tho'

Is there a URL to the Helios product?

Amazing! Anyone got a quick suggestion for a simple laser setup for testing this stuff?

Ether Dream or Helios?

Laser recommendation?

Thanks.

I have ordered a Helios DAC, ILDA cable and a Laserworld CS1000RGB Mk3 laser (about £540 inc MadLaser). I will let you know whether it works.... Currently playing with imported animated GIFs (running man type thing) and displaying them as laser images.
