Nope, no case.
I just got home and checked it out, and it is awesome.
The graph is quite a bit more sporadic than daguin's, peaking at 173.9mW with a ten-minute average of 128.6mW. It stays above 130mW for over the first minute of operation, and then bounces around quite a bit (from ~105 to...
Apparently, roSSco and I had PM'ed Frothy about the last one within minutes of each other, so he let me purchase one of their regular stock of these units for the same price.
Tracking says it just arrived at my house, can't wait to get home from work and try it out!
:D
Aw, I'm sorry Greg. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I think it's awesome that you're carrying them, period. (And if I had any need for another pair of red-blocking LaserShades, I'd more than definitely purchase from you.)
Re: 405nm Pointer 16-21mW-New batch - PRICE
I purchased the first 20mW, and I can't wait to get it and try it out. :D
In the meantime, looks like I should head out for Party City and dollar shops around town to gather a bunch of glow-in-the-dark material.
Yeah, my voltage between the Vout and Vadj was only around 1.07 volts. :(
And unfortunately, my battery holder only has 4 battery slots.
I have some 3.6V RCR123As on their way from DX, but my diode is going to arrive long before those batteries do. Meh, I'll run it off of 5-6 AAs then, until my...
My power supply consists of 4 AA Energizer Lithium batteries, and I thought that would be enough. When I measure their voltage after hours of non-use, it comes out to about 7 volts; and after an hour of on and off use, trying to test my circuit with the 4 rectifier diodes, it was around 6-6.2...
What mA range should I be expecting when using the 25ohm 3W pot from radioshack linked in DDL's circuit thread?
Over the 1ohm resistor, I read 30-40 at max resistance to 180-190 at lowest.
