Bought an aaxa l1 laser projector

[Gorin]

Well, I still am unsure how to hook it up with my droid (but i'm told it can be done). I went with the most expensive aaxa l1 laser projector model because spending the crap ton of money on a droid wasn't enough.

This is one that has onboard storage as well as a USB hook up for flash drives...this leads me to believe that I might be able to run a usb to mini usb somehow...I'd just need the proper software developed for droid. Does anyone know if there is something out there?.

Right now i'm just using the USB flash as a way to put things on to the unit and easily carry around for presentations/video. It comes with an 8gig so I might upgrade the flash stick and put movies and stuff directly on there. Kinda wished I could use the droid's internet for youtubing stuff instead but it works for now.

I snapped a couple of pics of it in action. It is pretty fancy. Lasers are supposed to be the **** in projection. It cost me a crap ton of money...lol. but the image is stellar. good colors and quality.

*edit* here is the product page if this info helps http://www.aaxatech.com/products/l1_laser_pico_projector.htm

If anyone has questions about my camera, that was expensive, too.

I'm assuming im gonna need something like this as well as discussed on the other thread:

For the connection you would need this mod/hack:
USB Host mode on Motorola Droid Chris Paget's Blog

But then after the connection yes, you'll have to have the software/drivers to allow the Droid's kernel to connect to the device.

Edit:
Or you could have waited and bought this:

I think retail is $599 for the projector, if that is what you were referring too. Which BTW is some James Bond ****, super awesome display of how far technology has come. :icon_eek:

 

[joker402]

hmm... just realized that it has a micro usb cable to stereo RCA cables...maybe this might help?

*edit i just reopened the box and found it packaged in there..

Can that projector access from a storage device or not?

Edit: Never mind, I didn't notice the pics earlier.

 

[bastosero]

If you can somehow try to connect it with one of those WD TVs, it might be possible. LOL

[Gorin]

it has a micro usb to rca cable out which will probably work with the wd tv

Maybe I'm confused, but if this thing can play video from a standard USB stick, is there some reason you can't use the stock USB-microUSB cable that came with the droid and enable the mount on the droid side? It should be able to play videos right from the microsd assuming it can handle the codecs.

 

[Gorin]

still need some sort of video out software on the droid side, no?

 

[Samstag]

No. Assuming the projector can handle 16gb SDHC USB devices, and the video you're trying to play is in one of the formats supported by the projector, you don't need your droid to do anything except sit there and act as a USB device.
