I need to cease logging into LFP on pay day. GLWS

Time for a political rant. Can lasers be banned? yes. Should they? no. In the united states at least, people have forgotten than it is not the governments job to impose regulations that restrict the rights of the people to bear property. (Not to say you cannot or should not face consequences...

I just got a 275mW 650nm from him today. Deceptively small. He even made sure to leave me written instructions for the battery. The lil dust cap is a nice touch :). He even made it signature required to protect his end and full tracking and delivery confirmation. No problems at all! and its a...

Maybe you will both see the beams. And after a journey , you wind up finding each other and become best friends for life. Then you can write a story about it called "Following the light"

I hate it when diodes diode. :) Does the head not unscrew? Maybe look inside the battery compartment..maybe the module is screwed in from the back side and just presses into the front.

Re: Yobresal yeah he's a great something I think thats very true :) . Thats why I always keep a home made first aid kit with me. What pisses me off about first aid kits is they always have band aids in them. useful space is wasted by redundant "designer" band aids. Little tiny finger band...

Re: Yobresal yeah he's a great something Are you an EMT ? I want to get my certification soon.

Sooo uhhh..Im just gonna ask... Whos gonna try to focus this thing down to 2 or 3 mm and burn holes in trees at a mile...

Are you using safety goggles? If you buy safety goggles the dot should correct itself. Sorry... You can visit my thread on decollimated /divergent beam. But mine is not focusable.

Damn ..Im...really sorry to hear this is so bad :( . I really wanted to do this with a laser one day..But I was more planning on being positioned perpendicular to the beam from a fixed tripod or table..not "shining it towards myself" Lol.. Maybe I wont do it afterall ^_^

You only short wires that go "out" , not wires from battery.

In video, styroPyro already has laser diode working. Video does not show laser being tested before working. Your driver should plug into test load first (before), to see what current will be. But after you do this, driver will still have charge inside it. If you plug driver into laser...

I am new as you are. But..I am good at explaining things that I understand, in a way that lets others understand. I hope I can help you A test load is needed. You maybe should/could google search it. Without a "device" connected to the OUTPUT of the driver, no real "current" ..will be drawn. A...

perhaps read my edit if you have not already. I did not expect such a quick reply. I am notorious on many venues for "quick" posting..and to avoid double posts I do perform frequent edits. And yes. I would INDEED buy. It cannot be argued an extreme "need" for a consolidated, reliable source...

I think ...I wish I had your ambition (or at least your skills to capitalize on a market ;) I for one think this is a great idea. Whats more, as you gain profit you can grow and expand to other market places. Perhaps a tech oriented Ebay, as opposed to Just "ebay" which is full of random...

I actually do Think i would like to build one. Not only would it be satisfying but id have an excuse to make an enclosure for it. but I have no idea how to read that diagram for the LM350 which sounds like what I want :) , the instructions arent as clear as the one for the LM317 :(

I gots a Ka-Bar fighting knife. Does everything a Knife should do ;) The USMC is my "beater knife" I have a Navy version nestled away with the rest of the bug out gear 1095 carbon steel. (Doesn't field sharpen well though..) And some CRKT Folding knife a buddy got me just because "I should be...

I think I understand now!!!!! just by looking at that bench PSU why these are such a great option. I could wire permenent leads to my driver circuit with mated DC plugs attached, which means I can just plug the circuit into the PSU whenever needed *shrug* I mean..this isn't exactly the...

That looks very nice! and useful too :) But it only supplies up to 1A :( I might want to crank up a 445 diode to 2W ^_^. Just so I can go "Look at me!! I built a laser ...and it MAKES FIREE" (and twice as fast as 1 watt , which will therefore be more likely to impress highschool chicks)...

Re: Yobresal yeah he's a great something I don't blame you. If he is in the "right" there are more than enough calm, conservative avenues (provided for us by our glorious nation of laws and not to mention common courtesy) to pursue.
