[simpits-tech] fired up the first projector...

[Gene Buckle]

I got the first projector fired up this evening and while there's a 
problem or two, the results are very very good!

I made a calculation error on the distance that the LCD needed to be from 
the triplet (the output lens) and as such, the projector focuses at about 
80".  This is Bad(tm).  It turns out that the distance from the LCD to the 
center of the triplet should have been right around 330mm.  Right now it's 
about 380mm.  I need to detach the face of the projector and move it in 
about an inch.  I'm glad I didn't use glue along with the pocket screws or 
I'd be cussing a blue streak right about now...

Tomorrow afternoon I'll make the change and if all goes well I'll try to 
get some pictures posted of it.
