Hello all!
I've been watching the goings on in the forum for a month or two now, reading up on bits and pieces to get my basic knowledge up to scratch!
I first became interested in lasers after seeing that awful kipkay "hack" as he likes to call it, though in the process I managed to crack the glass inside the diode so I ended up with a two-dot pointer
I later scrapped that idea, got myself a new diode and a driver and messed around with the outputs on it for a while before dismantling it and keeping the parts, ready to build something much better looking!
I was about to start a 5mw green laser Spiro graph project but that's on hold at the moment whilst I build a 150mw greenie - parts courtesy of Jayrob (thanks!)
So yeah.. that's my brief history of lasers and builds!
Peace
