    First Build advice

    That diode is rated for 50mW, but can be pushed to ~100mW. My build with it topped out at 102mW. Not sure what the laseing threshold is, so not sure if you can drive it under 50mW. These green diodes heat up alot though, so you won't have a long duty cycle in that tiny host.

    Help - First build!

    Just ignore the white lead. Cut it short so it doesn't get in get in the way and solder + and -.

    LPM csv file graphing app

    Actually I have thought about connecting directly. That was another push for me to make this app. I figured if I could get the graphing in place, then I could work out reading the data stream off the meter. I may actually have that same adapter, but haven't tried connecting the X4 to my Galaxy...

    LPM csv file graphing app

    Thanks! Double the thanks as I would likely have been motivated to create this if not for you.

    LPM csv file graphing app

    Hey guys, I threw together this android app and thought I would share. I've wanted to make this app ever since I got my Radiant X4 LPM. After much metering, I began to play with exporting the graph data from Lightwave and loading multiple charts to compare. I also have used Peregrine with my...

    passing 532 through Yellow highlighter dye

    The 532nm is causing the dye to fluoresce. 405nm should light it up even better. With a low powered 405 it should look better with the laser being less visible, and the dye more reactive.

    Getting robbed by a fellow forum member!

    Wait... when i got that email about their policy change, i thought it said they changed the time you have to open a dispute. So instead of having 45 days to open a dispute, you now have 180 days.

    spam pm from a member

    I got it too. I opened the link on my galaxy tab and it redirects to a hookup site. "Thousands of beautiful women in the MI area" was at the top of the page.

    Here we go again.

    I've got a jar with a bar magnet sealed in the center and iron filings around it. The manet can be moved up and down in the center. Does a better job of showing magnetic field shape than this, and much simpler.

    Cypreus II XL 462nm 1.7W 24k Gold Plated!

    That is one awesome build! The gold defiantly makes it look much better than mine! You got to love the run time on this host too. (Although a 1W green will get it warm quick..) +rep for you sir.

    NDG700 700mW 520nm Laser Diode

    Thanks. I tried with just a q-tip to no avail. So I tried dipping one end in 91% isopropyl alcohol and wiped with that end plus the dry end. Then I used a squeeze bottle to blow on it. That worked, looks much better.

    NDG700 700mW 520nm Laser Diode

    I just put one of these in a Cypreus-IIb yesterday. This diode defiantly puts out the heat! Even in all this copper it get warm in ~40 seconds. It also looks like I got something on the diode window. These are pics of the raw output. Does it look like this will hurt the diode? Should i try...

    Laserbtb and the package to nowhere

    Wow, this is the second thread I've seen where a laserbtb shipment was miss delivered. Rifter, the first "victim" had his delivered to the wrong address and i don't think it was resolved. At least you caught it in time, and DHL worked with you.

    Replace Lens to keep beam tighter?

    How far away is the building? How big is the spot at that distance? Specifics always help. Pictures might help too.

    I hate Survival Lasers' battery contact boards.

    Yeah, I've had some that were wired wrong and i had to hunt for a place to solder the positive lead. Definitely had some fustration with them. I think Flamingpyro sells contact boards that aren't recycled driver boards.

    Calculating out put on a M140

    Sounds right. Amperage is what affects optical output, assuming enough voltage is there for the diode. The m140 drops between 4-5V, just how much depends on how much current you feed it. As long as your constant current driver can supply that voltage while regulating current, then the current...

    Need help with choosing red diode

    The anodizing probably won't let you get away with wiring it like that. If using the c6, just wire positive and negative Vin to the battery contact board.

    Battery Question?

    I'm pretty sure it takes a 16650.

    Question about UVC light.

    According to Wikipedia, gamma rays have a wavelength <10 picometers, which is smaller than an atom. From what I've read, some around LPF, xray lasers are extremely difficult and impractical. I doubt anyone will produce a gamma laser anytime soon...

    Question about UVC light.

    This likely doesn't happen until you get to gamma rays. A gamma ray will tear you, bones and all, leaving a trail of damage.
