*NOTE* 400mA's into a senkat diode = BIG NO NO UNLESS YOU HAVE TEC OR A MASSIVE HEATSINK!!

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to add that in. I believe he was TEC cooling his at that power?

Thank god for you! will this work with a kenom barrel??

I don't see why not, they're larger than the Aixiz module, so they should fit. I don't have one, though, so I can't say for sure. You can try asking Kenom.[/quote]
I have a kenom barrel, and they do fit.

but there is a problem. the driver is too small... I know it sounds insane, but first of all, I need a long spring that will reach the end of the driver chamber from the driver, and 2, be sure to add LOTS of hot glue securing the diode and the driver together. this way it wont jiggle around and pull the pins off your diode. go for it man!

Reverse-polarity protection diode and output capacitor are built-in.

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module

I can tell you for 100% positive sureness. (bad grammar abounds) that these will fit in my barrels. it will take a little work but it will work. (long spring and plenty of glue) I'm told by AMKdeath that these do get hot so possibility of adding some heatsink to the chip on it.

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module

I ordered mine 4/1/08 and still have not received it and I live in the u.s. Any ideas why. I see amkdeath got his but he was further down the order line then I was which makes no sense. I cant wait to get it though.

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module

I did read the updates i guess im used to things getting here quick like my senkat diode got to my house in three days lol. I just cant wait to finish my laser after i get this im going to buy a heat sink and a mxdl light to put it all in. :)

The reason you're still waiting is that you are part of the second batch of drivers I'm making. AMK has some because I sent him a few to try out before I started selling, but he has since ordered more, which he has not yet received either.

Please, be patient! I'm working as hard as I can! I'm going to etch the boards tonight and try to get some made. I won't be able to work late, though, I have be at school at 7am tomorrow.

cybob101:
I'm sending instructions as a Word Doc or PDF thru email... is that OK?

As for the drivers running hot... I'd definitely recommend a heatsink of some kind for the high powered (ie 250mA+) drivers if you plan to run them for >1min at a time. I'm trying to find some scrap aluminum to experiment with improving the thermal characteristics by either sandwiching between the board and chip or possibly thermal epoxied directly to the top of the chip package.

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module

just got in my 10 mini drivers. looks really nice, i'm going to mess with them tonight i hope. still waiting on Chuck (the owner of Aixiz) to ship me some stuff, he's usually really quick but for some reason there's a delay
