I've bought from Will many times and have had very good dealings in the past with him, but lately his communication has been very minimal for some reason. I hope all is well with him.

Thanks Hak! Yea I like to pop in every now and then :shhh:

I didn't even think about that one - it may mess with the inductor coil's function though right? The coil is the square part labeled C222

If you can, set it to just measure volts or millivolts. Sometimes those autorange ones will cause reading errors. At least, I've seen that when taking other measurements outside of lasers.

Is it an auto ranging type meter? The slow current dropping I can maybe see, not sure on the initial big drop... Your batteries also sound adequate to me btw.

Boost drivers run hot by their nature, especially one that does 1.9amps. One reason you get that drop could be the battery is experiencing pretty good voltage sag or drop under the load (assuming your battery isn't up to the task), a boost driver will draw more current from the battery than it...

He just can't put that thing down :whistle: Howdy Moh!

These awesome little IRON4D drivers are actually so small they're rather difficult to make from what I understand of them. Maybe if I beg Ben just enough he could make a few more for us :D

Nice work on these Wolfman! It's nice to have an entire side of a board dedicated for heat sinking purposes, and I assume if one wanted to they could easily thermal epoxy the board to any heat sink of their choice so long as it's electrically isolated from the build... or just stick one of those...

International shipping is flat rate $6.99 first class mail USPS, check with lazeerer he might be able to set you up with one like that.

X-Drives V6 are back in stock! (for a little while - they go fast)

And the US seller is still cheaper :na: heeheehee

Haha! :crackup: For some reason I read that part as "diode toilet" I would think that would be fine, considering the IC's touch the diode's baseplate... just don't get that stuff on the diode's face/window. And like ApexProxy suggested the epoxy hardens, I would think this would be a better...

There is also the 700mA version for the 300mw diode, I believe the beginning of that diode's peak power on the curve was at around 700mA. IIRC the power didn't increase substantially beyond that current, at least not without massive cooling / heat sinking. I would use the 1050mA on the 500mw...

If I recall... I think many people had them (300mw ones) doing pretty good at about 925mA as long as they have decent heat sinking.

Here they are, look to the bottom of the drivers section: Driver Boards : Cajunlasers Store

I only have 5 of those 500mw Mitsu diodes, very slow selling diodes for me... I'm going to put them up at my cost on the site now for $75 each plus the normal shipping of $2.99. Once I pay paypal fees I will actually lose money on these, but I've had them for too long now :p Please use no...

I should have these guys listed shortly, can't seem to find my camera to snap some photo's so I may have to borrow yours for now Ben if that's cool :)

If his springs are anything like mine (I suspect they are very similar) there's no need to double up, very tight hold on the lens. Probably no harm in doing it, just overkill.

You're right! :D I'll fix-er right up....
