    CD Player Diode question

    Old CD player = IR= useless as it is low powered. Sorry man. :( Its not all bad though as you can practice by extracting it so you learn something. :)

    My Red Lab Style Laser

    And they are between the batteries and driver? Supposedly a slow voltage increase is better for our LDs than slamming them on. Still I think it is cool.

    My Red Lab Style Laser

    Nice.... Do the caps actually slow it starting up? If so I might try it in mine. What are the caps value.

    Military  glasses With laser lens 19.99

    Re: Military  glasses With laser lens 19.99 Yes the BLPS with hard case are new style. Both are laser protective. I guess this isn't much of a deal though, although they ship really fast.

    Mini DDL style driver

    What the ........ Thats teeeennnnnnniiiieeeee. I am most def. wanting.

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it Like so: I have 1 like this and 1 squared. Look really close under semi-bright light and they are marked LM317T.

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it Simply put it adjusts it's self automatically, if you put in 7.2v (it needs 4.5v to run) it knocks it down to what the LD needs (~2-3v) and  the rest is dissapated as heat. You use the resistors and pot to control current. Oh and if you are buying at RadioShack they have...

    Military  glasses With laser lens 19.99

    Re: Military Laser glasses 19.99 (old style?) Yeah I guess I should have put : Military glasses with laser sheild lens. (so I did) I added these because I ordered 3 of the new style BLPS and they were supposed to be the blue lensed ones for red lasers but only 1 was. This way you know you get...

    Military  glasses With laser lens 19.99

    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=482181&pn=2 I think these are the old style and may not be any good but yall can look and see. Just trying to be of some use.  ;D

    building my 1st laser

    just a quick question for ya... How many volts did you put to the driver?

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it OH MY GOD I just lit my first match YAY!!!!!!! (and gunpowder lol i know careless)

    is that a IR diode or a Red diode? or what?

    What kind of drive?

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it The one I am looking at is a fast blow but still could be "slow" enough to damage the laser? It's a replacement for DMMs (i blew mine LOL) and have 3 left. This is the fuse http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103762 . What I am wanting to do is put it on...

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it just another thought: would this work to limit the current to the diode so if it went over 315ma the fuse would blow. I think so but knowing my luck someone will prove me wrong.... see pic please also I know this is underpower but it still works and this is more of a...

    Finally done it (back again)

    Re: Finally done it Well my drive arrived today, and fifteen minutes after opening the box, Laser Goodness!!!!!! YAY!!!! Just a ? though, What is the square plastic 4 pin diode, IR? I lit it up at 89ma and it was suprisingly bright still in the sled, way brighter than any IR I have seen. more...

    My first laser, 2 questions

    Thank you got that mixed up. The 3 10ohm are parallel 3 1ohm are series.

    My first laser, 2 questions

    Depending on how you build this driver it can be small.  I have not seen it small enough to fit in an Axiz. You can leave off the pot, and change resistor values to change the power to your needs. Did you read the whole 50 something pages on the driver, I finally did and discovered a lot. I...

    AMC7124 driver chip

    You and me both! If that is all it would take to run reds (+a cap maybe) I could make a small pointer running on button cells(maybe?). And I asked about copper plate because I did mine and it looks just like that.
