I couldnt think of a better place to ask but I've been googling for ages...

I'm looking for details of the XY2-100 protocol, i believe was created by GSI for laser scanners. Despite many papers claiming it is "industry standard" I cant find any actual copy of it - i was wondering if anyone on here knows of it?

Hi...

let me know if you are still searching for protocol details...

Hi Giampaolo,

The project I had in question at the time has been "paused" as I had other priorities, but the information would be very helpful for when it is "unpaused" if you have any hints or tips? I went through countless manufacturers sites and even emailed each and every tech support email I could find but no-one could supply it - I was wondering if it is legally protected in some manner, due to the lack of replies?

Thanks!
James

Hello james...

I've some timing diagram... not much but I think it could be a start...
I can send you a paper if you give me your mail.

BTW, there is also an open source project at
http://code.google.com/p/musayyib/
but it seems not yet started and I was not able to contact the maintainer

see you

Giampaolo

That could certainly be helpful to get me going, there may be some helpful hints on it to help me find more too. PM on the way!

I am the maintainer for the Google Code XY2-100 project. I'm not going to pursue it as I am not using commercial servo boards for the galvos. I'm implementing servos on a FPGA, so I have no need for XY2-100.

That being said, I am more than happy to help out as much as I can with any other projects. I am currently a controls engineer for a laser manufacturer and am very familiar with the XY2-100 pseudo-standard.

Please feel free to email me - justin dot princess at princesstoolcompany dot com.

I'm not sure how often I'll visit this forum, but I'll try to contribute where needed.

Hello All,

if somebody needs a copy of the XY2-100 specification I can provide it.

I have also designed 2/3 Channel Receivers 16 bit serials to drive the galvanometers servo amplifiers.

Also, if you need assistance with the design of a servo then feel free to contact me at josephbonilla at gmail dot com

Thanks,

JB

Hello Justin,

What Galvos are you using in your design....?

Thanks,

GalvoMan.

Hello,

are you still looking for the XY2-100...?

To GalvoMan.

Can you send me some detailed information about software part of XY2-100 pseudo standart. You can send me to: zhuravsky at yandex dot ru

I can't connect with you via email.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm also looking for a Labview LLB to control a XY2-100 mirror set.
Please drop me an email to marek1 at hotmail.com if you have anything!

Thanks
