LP-24 Laser Projection System
Team Members: Darin Brazile, Steven Cole, Jon Jensen, Dillon Ross, Jonathan Holland (Team Leader)
Project Description:
The LP-24 laser projection system uses lasers to project images and text onto a distant surface. It contains 24 lasers arranged in a polar array,
focusing on a single point. The laser light also passes through a series of two lenses and bounces off of spinning projection
mirrors and onto the display surface.
Correct timing for the lasers and the spinning mirrors is provided by a complex combination of assembly level software and circuitry. Images
for projection are created using the graphical user interface that resides on a computer that is connected serially to the LP-24. This
project covered many different engineering disciplines, including computer engineering, mechanical engineering, optics, and computer science.
