DLP-ALC-LIGHTCRAFTER-SDK: Seeking Help with Lightcrafter4500: Loading Custom Patterns via Python

Lorenzo Rezza

Part Number: DLP-ALC-LIGHTCRAFTER-SDK

Tool/software:

Hello everyone, I am working on my thesis and need to send Python commands to the Lightcrafter4500 module via USB without using the provided GUI.

Specifically, I am encountering some issues when trying to load custom patterns for projection. According to the Programmer's Guide, the patterns need to be stored in the flash memory, but I don't quite understand how to access it or how to load the desired file.

If anyone could offer some helpful advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

    Hello Lorenzo,

    I recommend using the GUI to build a FW that has your patterns you want embedded and load the FW into the EVM.  Then you should be able to use commands in the Programmer's Guide to access the patterns you stored into the FW.  The EVM Guide should tell you how to pack your patterns into the FW using the GUI.

    Thank you! I have already found the commands in the Programmer's Guide to access the previously loaded patterns, but my current issue is that I need to load these patterns into the FW without using the provided GUI.

    Hello again Lorenzo,

    What is preventing hooking the LightCrafter4500 to another computer, building and loading the FW with the images and then reconnecting to your system? I do not know of another way to do so. 

    If there are commands to load a FW, I suppose you could build it on another system, then use your current system to load the built FW.  I think the primary issue is building the FW.  The Programmer's Guide should have commands on loading an already built FW.
