The bILDA project consists of a specialized open source D/A converter hardware and control software, which make it possible to control laser projectors from Linux.

Full hardware plans are provided. On the software side the device firmware and a Linux kernel module are available.

A small application to play laser show animations in *.ild file format is also included.

bilda can output up tp 50.000 points per second with constant timing. The resolution of the X- and Y- channels is 8 Bit, also that of the three color channel.

The analog output signals conform to to the Standard Projector specification of the International Laser Display Association.

This makes bilda compatible with a wide range of laser projectors.
