Here she is. You'll notice the maxsink!
I had a few issues with the setup of the die4driver (HFP) but discovered that it needs a pulse of 5v to send the driver into full current mode.
So I played around to try and get 1A at 4.3vdc. ..
set the psu to 7.3vdc and put the analog signal through the dvr contact, instantly I got a reading of 1523mA and the most dazzling blue light beam I have ever seen. Amazing
Here is the output on some sticks.
Note, this laser is not directly connected to the driver, I put the laser head on a BNC connector so that I could change from A XJ 103 to an A XJ 104 head is a way of utilizing the driver more efficiently. The driver also has a real time current readout which can be read through a DMM as mV/mA.
Also this has a slow start.
BNC is a non-resistive type of BNC.
