DLP LightCommander

Logic PD’s DLP LightCommander Development Kit is built around the Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). It’s essentially an extremely modular DLP projection system. For example, it has a visible light and infrared LED light sources. The PC interface allows control of the XGA resolution (1024 by 768) Series 450 DMD micromirror timing, including programmable and variable-speed spatial light modulation. The standard user-defined control interface includes binary patterns, 8-bit grayscale, and video projection mode. The controller board interfaces include USB and an internal serial peripheral interface (SPI). Video input is RGB or HDMI. The system comes with a Nikon AF NIKKOR 50-mm f/1.8D lens. Pricing starts at $2499.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
