So this is now like my third build!! sort of. I have yet to post my first build, for I am not good with my GF's macbook. I want to do a semi decent FIRST build when I can. But for now heres this "turd box"
Its a 405nm 150Mw 5$ ebay diode in an aixiz module. Powered by an adjustable current driver set at about 150mA. No other details. Not worthy. Just funny.
Yes I have glasses and yes I was bored/practice!

Is that really the host or just a laser poking through a hole in a box?

Ha. I was bored and was soldering components together when all the sudden i was a host away from a laser. Its mostly a joke but yea I guess it is the host. You can see the little toggle switch on the right

It's ok to judge me. Thats why were here!

Oh snap Pete!!!! I forgot about both of these threads!!! My bad!! The damn mobile site has been crazy for me for some reason!!
I also have a Lego build that I transferred the innards to. I mean C'mon! It was a beer box with dangling wires inside with a tiny module/switch/driver/batt!!

I'm Glad you guys like it. It's supposed to be Rated for 150mW powered at 200mA. But when I LMP'd it.. It was like 50mW. Ha!!

edit: you can see my soldering iron in the distant backround right.. and fish tank left!!
