Hey guys, I'm having real trouble figuring this out. So I built the cicruit, and I used an NTE956 regulator, as the LM317 I had did the same thing, so I believed it was faulty. Its the same chip, just by a different company. My problem is this: When I measure my mV, which would give me my...

This helped me. A lot. I'm rebuilding mine, and well see how it turns out. 8-)

:o uhh... Well I can pop baloons. So take that.

with 12v input, putting out ~4v at 30ma its gonna overheat? My LM317 just broke off my PC board as I was fiddling with adding a heatsink. I'm about to shoot someone.

it could possibly be constant current. its rated 1amp. Would this adversely effect it? I'll probably need to get some batteries to test it with. What 2 batts do people use with Blurays again? I'll go look...

It is a 12v computer power supply. Also a 12v-6v switching car battery charger majigger. perhaps I have a faulty LM317?

Hey guys, I just assembled DDL's driver, and I have seen blu-ray light goodness!!!! I only have 1 problem, and it is a bit major. While measuring the voltage across the diode, i turn my pot slowly until it begins to lase, I get it to about 4.3v, where the brightness looks about right, and its...

DDL's circuit can take any input voltage right? up to 50v if I remember? So running a bluray off of a 12v power supply should be fine?

I had a trade with DA for my 35mw WL advanced for a DIY burner, and over a month and a half over he "supposedly" shipped it, nothing. So I PM'd him and told him that I had recieved nothing, and that I would like my WL returned. This was last sunday. He replied saying that he would ship it...

well I just purchased the one from Kaidomain. I figure I'll give it to my brother for Christmas... Even though I may use it bunches too ;D

lol, thats a great idea. I might just put shrinkwrap around my laser because it looks cool... ;)

so its basically a POS... 8-) Thats why I made this post. Are there any other makers of a green ~20-50mw pointer with a similar body style to that? Mainly the case, thats what I really like about it.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7883 30mW Flashlight-Style Green Laser (CR2) - 28.75 Looks like a good price, and I love how it looks. It'd be great to have just as a nice midrange pointer. Anyone purchased one of these? Because it looks good to me! Might be addin' this puppy to...

Re: GB feeler - Tiny LD driver $4, 2 for $9.50 shi So when're they going to be available? Have I just missed that post? Hopefully soon... :)

haha, They had one for sale 2 years ago that was a wireless power extension cord. They almost had me too... :P

:o Good Game! I had the original version that only ran on windows 95.... Oh god, I loved that game.

search Peltier. Thats the name for a TEC. ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/168Watt-Peltier-Cooler-Thermoelectric-Cooling-Module_W0QQitemZ250190074426QQihZ015QQcategoryZ4660QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem example ;D

"""Heat sinks are widely used in electronics, and have become almost essential to modern central processing units.

sorry for the spam, But cool ava xanatos.... 8-) Trippy... To make this less of a useless post, can this same thing not just be achieved in ddl's circuit by turning the pot?

Re: GB feeler - Tiny LD driver $4, 2 for $9.50 shi When will these be available? ;D Bluray for $25, aixiz for 6, driver for 4, sell on ebay for $150. :)
