    Name Change to Jstr

    Hey guys, I want to change my name to simply "Jstr." It's not a huge difference, but it affords me slightly more anonymity, that's basically the only reason.

    COCONUTS Uranium Marble Bulk Going out of Business Opportunity SOLD OUT!

    Can anyone please sell me a few of these very soon? I would very much like to have a couple for a demonstration next Tuesday. So if I could get someone to ship them today or tomorrow, that would be awesome. Please PM me!

    Re: Sanwu Laser shop - everything you can imagine Are all of these waterproof? And would this one fall under the "Challenger" pricing?

    Test load/Blitzlinear Problem

    Re: Test load/Blitzlinear Conundrum Oh no, sorry about that, I must have skipped over it cuz it looks like it would be in your sig. Only saw the gif. Thank you for that. Yeah it was .4 ohms and yeah I feel stupid now. I think I am going to lower the current anyway to be safe and just hopefully...

    Test load/Blitzlinear Problem

    Re: Test load/Blitzlinear Conundrum Sorry, I forgot to mention, the input voltage I measured at 7.7V because the batteries were not fully charged. And the driver itself uses about half a volt, so the difference is actually closer to .4V and dissipation=.3W So how exactly do I check for...

    Who Would Be Interested In Some Brass Hosts?

    I would be interested in one. I like either 1 or 2x14500

    Test load/Blitzlinear Problem

    Hi y'all, so I've been trying to set my driver (Blitzlinear) to 790 mA for a BDR-209 build, but something doesn't add up with my test load. After I attached leads and connected it to a pair of 16340 batteries, I get my 790 mA using the usual 6 diodes in series (dropout should be ~6.8 V at that...

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Okay, I tested both drivers with two and three diodes, and I was not able find any detectable difference. The output was fine at low setting, but would drop again on higher settings. Neither are dead, but they do not go to full current. One of them never did (although maybe it just failed too...

    GB on 515 nm laser diodes?

    I'd go for one. Are you going to start another thread? It would be easier to keep track of

    LPF mobile - old version available?

    I completely agree. If you have the google chrome browser app, you can select the box "request desktop site" and it will work the same way as before.

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Oh shoot, would that really kill the driver? If so, that's my fault and I will gladly pay you back. Man that's dumb... I will test it again though

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Okay, I'll do that tomorrow.

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Well darn... The second board performed similarly but worse. I played with both for at least an hour, and I found something that might be interesting. To summarize: When I turn the pot all the way to its lowest point, I found that they both put out very stable currents around 1.4-1.5 Amps. One...

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Thank you very much, crazyspaz. You have been great to me. +rep if I can. I just have terrible luck with drivers. The shipping stuff was in no way your fault. I will try out my second board now, hopefully that works. DTR, that's interesting you say that, it seemed to run fine with the LD at...

    Help, please! Problem with 9mm diode build

    Update: pretty sure it is the driver. I tried reducing the current way low like Mike suggested, and then the diode worked! Then I adjusted it back up in small increments as high as it would go without reverting to the flash-then off state. Then I hooked it back up to the test load for the...
