No mine was not €500. I bought it somewhere in 2018 I think and only start using it since yesterday...
But I really like the animations it can produce. And now I am looking how to make the projector angle smaller
I will try getting the ILDA pattern; they gave me +500 animations on the SD card...
Well as first, lack of simple and clear tutorials, videos and documentation is missing all over this laser hobby IMHO.
Now to my galvo's: as I said when the projector has to make small figures it is buttersmooth, but for instance, as a pattern grows in size on the wall, the image gets...
Hi,
I have this awesome Chinese Ebay/Alie RGB with galvo kit and it works! But there is zero documentation. Seller knows nothing and I could not find any info on other places.
The problem is that the galvo scanner angle/degree is to large for most animations. Its buttersmooth with simple...
Huge bump.
I am back from gone and want to make this LPM.
I do have al the components.
But now the V2.0 schematic (post#541) from Mariomaster is gone!:banghead:
Who has it? Mariomaster hasnt been online for a long time.
sorry, one thing lead to an other.
I would like to do that but I think I was getting flamed for double posting.
Build is finished...
I'll visit you guys again in 2017 or so when the new generation diodes are ready :na:
I really like the stuff you sold :thanks:
I have a question about wavelength.
I have no equipment to measure wavelength unfortunately, but I can compare with my other two blue lasers.
My M140 is not relevant, forget that one. Too much purple.
The other one is a PLTB450b that I drive @ ~1800mA...
Thank you, yours are nice too :beer:
Why don't you upload pics on tinypic.com (for instance) and paste the link between this:

minus the '*'
I advise to upload 800x600 resolution, maybe little bigger, not too much
Yeah :)
Just read my post all the way down page 24. Post #384
edit: here it is:
I called it a lab supply
My bad
I think its heat in combination with insufficient heat sinking
I talk too much
That was not clear?
Yeah, pretty nice one :eg:
0-15V 0-60A
0-30V 0-30A
0-60v 0-15A
It has a 3 way switch I must choose from
It's a switching power supply. I know that has its cons. But I am happy with it :)
Ow, I thought it was called a lab supply, my bad
Both.
There is an ammeter build-in the lab supply.
And there is an ammeter (multimeter) between driver and diode.
The lab supply is powering the driver, the driver is powering the laser diode.
I know I have written a lot. But all info in on the last three pages
I can not say anything useful about output without the ammeter. Either way it is bright as hell. what I do know is that the heat problem also occurs without ammeter.
I think the issue is heat.
Here is a crazy thought:
Is it possible that the heat from the driver is lowering the resistance in...
I replaced the aluminium with plastic.
Unfortunately the problem is not solved. Only got bigger
It started again @ 4.1xx mA and it goes up from there. along with the temperature. Much faster than with the aluminium holder.
I measured at least 74 degree Celsius (165.2 degrees Fahrenheit) on the...
True, I know :)
But the way you say it makes it look to me like you are saying it is not worth the money.
I don't use many meters of it, I think it is worth that little extra money.
It has the right colours (red and black.) In local hardware stores here in Holland, most of their wires are...
Thank you :)
Everyone's help is very welcome and much appreciated
And I wanted to let you guys know how I actually tested it. So there it is in my previous posts.
But I still would like to know what is wrong with my driver or where I f*cked up
