    flexmod p3 pics needed

    Make sure to run a jumper wire from the Interlock connection to the +Vbatt line or it won't work ;)

    Micro Boost and LOC 815 diode

    Question: What about Dr. Lava's FlexModP3 driver used for powering and modulating (TTL/analog) a laser diode. Is that a buck/boost driver as well? Could I use a 12V source to power a single 445 diode? I tested using a dummy load (1 Ohm resistor / 6 test diodes) and the voltage measured at the LD...

    Sound card DAC tutorial

    I wish I could but I do not have access to a LPM. I am in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale area of Florida if you know of anyone nearby. This is just an idea, but I would be willing to pay the FULL PURCHASE PRICE for the temporary use of a LPM (and shipping both ways) if I could be guaranteed a...

    Sound card DAC tutorial

    I got access to the FTP repository over at PhotonLexicon.com and downloaded a ton of sample ILDA files and Spaghetti shows. Tonight I got my FlexModP3 driver conneted to a 445 running at 1 amp along with my +200mW green Analog laser. I am only waiting on my O-like dichros to come in the mail and...

    Sound card DAC tutorial

    I finally got my custom laser projector put together last night. It's not complete just yet but it's going to have 4 lasers total (RRGB) so I can generate any color of the spectrum. Very cool hobby :) Video here: YouTube - My Homemade Laser Projector!

    445/FlexModP3 Power Supply?

    Since the FlexModP3 accepts up to 24V (and just for the heck of it) I hooked up a fully charged 12V battery and connected it to my "dummy" load. The test load had a 1 Ohm resistor along with 4 diodes in series simulating a red laser diode. The FlexModP3 only provided the required voltage /...

    Girlfriends with Lasers [ADD YOURS]

    I too find myself trying to justify my interest with lasers. Well at least we have a hobby! If you ask most women what interests them, it is usually 1) Shopping or 2) Watching TV

    First scanner build (eventual tutorial)

    I have a set of the o-like dichros + mounts on order and they should be here next week. I will be sure to post what I find once I get them. Flecom, where can I purchase decent adjustable mounts without spending a ton of money? I know that CTlasers.com has them but they are kind of expensive...

    Sound card DAC tutorial

    Yes, please post photos of the top and bottom of the C-Media soundcard. That is about the only component I am waiting for and then my RRGB projector will be complete! It should be here next week and it would be nice to know where to solder the leads in advance. FYI - I finished soldering all...

    Issues with AR coated glass lens for 445

    The lens for my 445 is for a RRGB projector I am building and so I want the cleanest possible "dot" and I am not really concerned about the power. Could you please direct me to where I can purchase one these good half-threaded AR coated lenses within the USA so I don't have to wait so long for...

    Issues with AR coated glass lens for 445

    I cleaned the lens with 91% alcohol and I still get the 'X' around the beam. I tried an acrylic lens for just a second and it was a perfect beam. I am going to contact Modwerx and arrange a replacement, will let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your help - see attached new photos...

    Issues with AR coated glass lens for 445

    When I get home from work today I will try out a few different lenses and let you know. I was mainly curious if this was normal since it is my first 445 build... Thanks everyone!

    Issues with AR coated glass lens for 445

    I cleaned them with the solution that came with a lens cleaning kit. I think it was distilled water or something. Came with special lint-free Qtips...
