     This download  page contains links to download laser frames and animations, software of use to laserists, a .zip file copy of Sam's Laser FAQ, and links to other sites offering useful downloads.

Software

  • Laser Show Designer 1000 (Amiga) - LSD1000  was Pangolin's first commercial software, this full functioning program originally cost $995. It is now available to help hobbyists, experimenters, and those on a budget to get started with laser light shows.

Two DOS utilities [as .zip files] for those working on ILDA frame format import/export contributed by O. Steven Roberts.  He writes, "These utilities are for for hobbyists and others who are developing tools for ILDA frame format file support [to import/export .ild files] and who need a sanity check as Pangolin and X29 are merciless when it comes to errors in a .ild file. Programming is by Mike Svob".

  • ILDAWRITE.EXE [ILDAwrite.zip - 32 Kb] Takes a .txt file containing human readable numbers and converts it to an ILDA format frame. The input file format is the number of points(N) ,then the 3 axis data for the frame as a signed integer N,x,y,z,x,y,z,x,y,z... where x,y, and Z are +10,000 to -10,000, for a 2D frame, make all Zs equal to zero.
    It will prompt you for the file name to create and then create the file and exit back to the dos prompt. All points are set to full white and blanking is NOT supported. A sample input file, ildawrt.txt is provided. Note that there is a carriage return and line feed between each number. ILDAWRITE.exe is fully compatible with files written by Qbasic, Quickbasic, Visualbasic and Notepad, making it easy to create raw files for conversion. I've also used this to create liquid sky framesets using numbers generated by a basic program. The programs do not
    support crossing directories, so the files must all be in the same directory. 
  • ILDAREAD.EXE [ReadILD.zip - 36 KB] This utility strips a one frame ilda file to a text based n,x,y,z format, where N is the number of points in the frame and x,y,z are signed integer point data, so the output is N,X,Y,Z,X,Y,Z..... The actual data will appear as a vertical list with one coordinate data per line. Color data and blanking data are NOT provided. Cross directory support is not provided, both the input and output files MUST be in the same directory. if ildaread.exe spots a error in a ILDA file header, it will tell you what the error is.

FAQ

  • Sam's Laser FAQ - The ultimate resource for those interested in the technical details of all kids of lasers. Includes schematics, photos and information on building your own laser from scratch! A full copy of Sam's Laser FAQ is available as a .zip file. Clicking the link connect you directly to Sam's site and the latest copy of the FAQ.

In the contemporary computing landscape, the battle for user freedom has largely shifted from the operating system to the firmware layer. While the Linux kernel and GNU utilities are celebrated bastions of open-source software, the low-level code that initializes hardware—the BIOS, UEFI, and bootloaders—remains, for most users, a proprietary black box. This hidden code can contain backdoors, impose hardware restrictions, or simply abandon a device after a short commercial lifespan. The emerges as a critical software utility in the fight against this opaque ecosystem, acting as a secure, user-controlled bridge to liberate embedded systems from proprietary firmware shackles.
