What....NO COMMENTS !!!! WTF ??????????????? This is beautiful !!!! That is my FIRST comment !!!
So.....An order of magnitude more advanced compared to my Purple pHaze build....but...in the same neighborhood !!
I must study the schematic....but....such detail to permissive logic....WOW !!!,,,,,SO clean.....Nice lines....Optics are over the top !!!
FINALLY......SOMETHING .....I am going to copy( Steal ) the design !!!!
I have been looking for a " Three Stage switch "....Mini in size....BUT....with a sequence of ;
" All Power Off====> Power On to the system====> Laser On. All I can find are these
big-honk'in switches !!! ( As the switch used on the Purple pHaze )......but nothing small !!!.
There may be a latching switch that does this ??? Dunno....But....just a small mini toggle would do !!!
Anyway......Thanx for sharing !!! A very impressive build indeed !!!!!!!
Your three way switch I think would be pretty easy to do with a very small Microcontroller like a ATiny85 (8 pins) and a few other parts. You could then use any simple switch that was momentary on. I think this could be made pretty small -- small enough to fit in the tail cap of a handheld. The mosfet I have switching this laser on is about .25" square and can handle 100 amps. Hard to find any small switch that can do even 10 amps.
I need a similar circuit for a new LPM I'm working on, so if you'd like to go this route I'm game to help out.
