Yes @meb31 you can do it but there are other ways too.
Commonly used (and mandatory) pins are: x+, x-, y+, y-, r+, g+, b+, ground. Many projector also require 4 and 17 being closed (they are basically shorted inside the dac).
You can build custom cables using solder ready DB25 connectors or DB25 breakout connectors.
The other way is using CAT cables, so since making them is pretty easy I have built ones for axis swap. If your projector does not support RJ45 analogue (only the cheapest ones tends to have it) you still can buy adapters (I have these: https://www.startech.com/en-it/cables/gc258mf ). Keep in mind that you wonāt have space for interlock a/b on your cat cable, so itās a tradeoff, plus they are a bit tricky to configure.
Thanks. I did think about that being the easiest option, but I guess when using a ribbon like that strain relief becomes a bit more difficult when the fixture is rigged.
Weāve veered off topic here, so letās close down the ILDA cable hacking discussion.
Just a quick safety/quality note: daisy chaining and DIY pin swaps can cause all sorts of gremlins, and itās not encouraged or supported in Liberation. Weāre long past the days of Ā£1000 controllers - itās much safer (and way more flexible) to give each laser its own controller.
You can have completely custom X/Y flips per clip in software, and make use of the zone delay chase system too. After all, whatās the point of having all this power if you just make every laser do the same thing?
Anyway - back to that timelineā¦ seriously great work Fabio, thanks for sharing it here
