yeah i realized that a little later on. i have some feelers out now finding me some drives that are no good anymore- well to 99% of everyone else anyway. from there i will harvest more powerfull lasers to experiment with. if i ever scrape up enough cash i will just toss the phr in a host and...
thanks. so far i found a 8x lg for 250...
i have been researching, and know a considerable ammount so far. what i meant in my post was more along the lines if any of these dealers actually had sleds back in stock. i realize that didnt come out in that way. BUT that does not constitute someone...
i definatly agree. without this info id be watching gilmore girls with my wife...
you my friend deserve a medal for pulling me away from her and that crap!
i put it in the housing and solderd the wires on before i did anything then did a test of my driver before hooking it onto the diode. my lowest pot setting was around 38 to about 140ish. i run mine in a big heatshink with thermal compund no more then 1 minute on 2-3 minutes off. i have no...
thanks frothy. i looked for weeks to find that answer. if you do leave, i want to say thanks for helping with sharing the knowledge you have/had.
now on to the next project!
I wish i woulda seen a little notice before hand. but im good. everything has to change at one point or another to keep it going and to keep up with current tech/programming.
Here is my laser at about 130 ma.
found a descent size piece of aluminum and drilled it out, installed some thermal compount that i was using for my processor installation in my pc. now all i need is a 5 ohm resistor and i will remake the driver to support more heat. (IE. heat sink on the...
