Re: Light to Frequency converter/sensr at Radio SH You might be able to make a power meter, but it would only be able to handle very low power. And you'd need several very stable lasers of known power in order to calibrate it.

Re: Light to Frequency converter/sensr at Radio SH I'm not certain, but I think it outputs a signal (probably a sine or square wave, we'd hope for a square) whose frequency is proportional to the light intensity.

Much highly ratign feature for increas value you again experience from home of the most power flashlighting and lasers. Great sucess is youres! For great justice!!

Re: FusionDrives GB - 32 UNPAID {rant} First, don't shush me. Second, I calls 'em like I sees 'em. Third, I don't care if they deserve to be dropped from the GB or not, it has nothing to do with me. Fourth, and most important, (In my opinion,) for someone hosting a GB to be trusted, they must...

I'm pretty sure I saw a guide on CPF about making one of these. I think it was powered by a bunch of LiIon cells.

Re: FusionDrives GB - 32 UNPAID Way to stand by your word. :(

Re: Will I be able to use the diode out of a Panas While it probably does have a red laser diode in it, it will most likely be of rather low power as I doubt it's faster than a 1X or 2X burner. If you're asking because you have a dead E50, then I'd say you should go for it. It will teach you...

Much safer to use the diode check function on your DMM.

To the top.

Have you heard of AdBlock? You can block any image you don't like.

Well, this thread has only been quiet for a month or so. Maybe it's time to bring it to the top. @all Any thoughts on if it should in fact be required reading for new members? I'd be glad to make 20 or so questions on the article to act as an automated public Turing test.

Perhaps if he had been killed at the end of the video it wouldn't have been so bad.

What do you mean by 'safe' ? If you mean 'Will the battery explode or catch on fire?' the answer is 'most likely no.' If you mean 'Can I use a few LR44s to power my LM317 constant current source?' the answer is 'yes, but only for a few seconds before the driver starts dropping out.' If you...
