Hi all - thought I should really join the forum since I've been messing around with lasers for as long as I can remember.
So far I've upgraded a laser crab with a tweaked green laser pen (cooled with an old pentium heatsink and fan!). I've also messed around with a set of stepper motors hooked up to a custom built PIC controller board with some success - just about managed to draw simple shapes.
Thinking about my next project - the 1000mw blue diodes look nice - although safety becomes a big issue...
Will be scouring the forum and asking loads of (annoying? questions!)
Avatar shows the laser crab and the steppers which I've just replace the burnt out green diode for a blueray one.
