thanks.
rog what kinda motors ar u using? can u get ur motors down to like say 1 rpm
spikec, that is a nice tutorial and i think im using the exact same mirrors u are =P im getting a split beam effect tough. the beam is reflected 3 times cuz its not a surface mirror
iv seen rogs small spirograph in the tutorial section and i want to make one.
i havnt seen too many specific tutorials on the subject, so i wanted to ask, anything specific to know about, any perticualr build.
what i found so far is that u should use surface reflective mirrors like acrylic...
lol i remeber somtin like that in science class where light from a star on the other side of our sun could be seen because of gravity or sumtin cant remeber =P
Re: Micro-Drive laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE*
lol well i solderd the LD to far away from the driver and i thought i had clearence but i underestemated it, o well lesson learned >< i actualy drilled out the back of an extra houseing so i can see it while im putting it on nextime.
this machine isnt free as in input energy = input + energy, but what it did was somting like pick up energy in the air and converts it into energy i think.
Re: FS: RED laser asking $70
if i recall diamonds(carbon) isnt a good conductor =P but then again i dunt no, u could get one machined, i just got mine machined out of scrap silicon bronze at my near by engine shop for like 10 bucks =P aldo im not trying to preach
i was watching tv and saw how plasma can be effected by magnets, n it got me thinking. are lasers effected in anyway by magnets?
i thought if it was u could use them to compress multiple beams togther for a more powerful laser?
im no physisit and im not taking phycics for a while (my english...
Re: Micro-Drive laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE*
coolio. il be sure to do that i have a junky old soldering iron i found in the basement :P it worked for the first one but then i got the dreaded click when i whent was puting on the houseing :'( broke off a pin. o well
Re: Micro-Drive laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE*
oo thanks for the last 2 orders they came quick, quick (noob =/)question, can u mount the ld to the other side of the driver? (its hard for me to solder it with the chip in the way) whats your recomended ESD safe practices?
hmm im probobly messing up some numbers here :-[
so if i may ask people that have sucessfully made blu-ray lasers that can burn and such w/ a diy driver and a phr-803t LD what compnonets they used for ther drivers in detail? im just a bit confused =/ such as what mA to run it at and such
im prity new to lasers so sorry in advance.
Iv read around the forums and i would like to start on a blu ray laser as soon as my red one is done, just need a module which is in the mail atm =/. i just wanted to ask if this would be an ok build for a burning blu laser.
using a LD from a PHR-803T...
my first laser is almost done but im using a Sportsman .5 Watt Aluminum LED Flashlight made by raovac (about 8bucks) i replaced the 3 triple a batterys with 2 3v energizer lithiums. still waiting for a module
p.s took 3 trys and 3 diodes to finaly make one work :P. hope to make a bluray one...
does the location of the switch matter?
im working on my first laser and i would like to know. on the ddl driver post it says to put it between the lm317 and the +terminal
this is my first laser project and well i messed up my first 2 LDs from my first 2 dvd burners, but now out of bordem i took apart my old samsung dvd player and got the LD out of that but iv never seen a 4 pronged LD b4 and cant find any information on it any help would be nice.
