BDXL - Pioneer BDR-206M

Umm, sorry if I'm missing something, but didn't darkside say right up there that he shipped Dave a 3.8mm module over two months ago?

 

[Tech_Junkie]

Apparently Dave didnt receive them.

It was very kind of him to send the module that he did. Unfortunately, it was unusable for this application.

Anyone want to donate a buck to get one of these modules made? I will. I would build one for you for free if I wasnt waiting on an M9 x .5 tap. If we can get 20-30 people to pitch in a buck or so I would think we could have some builder make a simple module and have it at your door in under a week.

How long is the wait for your tap? I can loan you mine

Peace,
dave

It could be up to two weeks still but if you have a regular tap and a bottoming tap (so I can cut the full threads) and a junk 3.8mm diode I can use for testing I would be more than happy to make one.

Re: BDXL - Pioneer BDR-206M - Pinout

Hi
Thanks Dave for dissectioning the Blu-ray drive.
I have got Exactly the same drive, But I don't want to dissection it completely; just disconnected the wires from original driver and use my own driver.
It is easy to find the Red/infrared laser diodes pin-out with a analogue multimeter (laser turns on). However, this seems not to be aplicable to the blue laser diode. How is it possible to find the pinout for Blue laser diodes especially this one? (Sorry, I did a search but could not find any satisying answer in the forum)
According to what claimed in first post, It seems that neither the Blue laser diode nor the Red one have monitor diodes! however, I guess the grounded pin is expected to be a common cathode and the other two pins the anodes of Laser Diode and Monitor Diode. like this picture:

Is it what you call negative and positive pins, monitor and laser diodes?

By the way I am using an iC-NZN Evaluation Borad to drive the lasers because it is capable of modulation with TTL or LVDS signals. The connection for blue laser diodes in Active Power Control and Active Current Control are:

WOW! I missed this completely. Sorry

I only have the bottoming tap. I only have to "chase" threads occasionally. I'll pop you a PM

I am NOT an electronics guy. Most of that was στα ελληνικά to me

All of the bluray diodes I have tested are "floating." The die is isolated from the case

Peace,

When I get back from SELEM I'll be making some copper 5.6mm modules, it would be a cinch to make some 3.8mm modules as well. Actually, I'll be making some for myself anyway. I'll be tearing a pico projector apart eventually and I'll need a pair or three

:huh: Neither am I! Sorry didn't mean to confuse you, I have seen the "M-Type" name in Sam's laser FAQ, which I guessed you have seen. and the laser diode which is extracted from a PS-3 there, has got a monitor diode,
In fact I only wanted to know how to recognize the pin-out as the laser module is in it's assembly in drive. which wire is Negative and which is Positive? and which driver do you prefer for driving?
Thanks in advance;

There may also be a few 3.6mm red diodes from the current bluray sleds bouncing around that members might need modules for.

If you decide to make these, I could use 3-4 of them myself

I'll see you at SELEM

Here is the pinout for the PS3 diode

These are very low current and output. I'll have to look it up. Maybe someone else has the info more readily available

Sorry Dave, I meant the pin-out for Pioneer BDR-206; Is it like 205/203 that are earlier given in this forum?

I have NOT tested it under power yet. I am still waiting for someone to fabricate a module for me. My assumption (and the one I will work with first) is that the pinout for this diode is the same as for the 8X/10X/12X.

The picture shows what I'm doing with the Blue laser.

From this picture could you tell which should be the + and - wire? I'd rather not to dissection the drive more than this, so the third grounded pin cannot be seen.

Thanks in advance

 

[regalis]

I think you should check which wire connects to the cap:


This would be +

Hope that helps!?

 

[SpyderFire]

No module yet? Im dying to see how this diode behaves.

 

[Jufran88]

I think Pontiac has made some 3.8mm modules already.

Come on Dave! It's tome for the 1W mark in 405 to be broken! And ur just crazy enough to do it!
