Awesome job, thanks for sharing! :beer:

Wow, I wondering how much markup they charge for the iChargers. I recommend that you skip the most basic of hobby chargers (Accucel-6, iMax B6) and move straight to an entry level iCharger, like the 106B+. Well worth the extra money for precision, output, heat dissipation, and PC connectivity. :)

I know that store in your second picture, I bought some cheap thermal paste there. :) I'll be back up and building after I finish my exams.

Done, good luck! :beer:

Awesome, thanks a lot. +1 :beer: Didn't know the East-092 driver's MOSFET was compatible, I'll try swapping it out.

I have an Agilent 2012A if you need me to check out that driver. I use it regularly (overkill) to scope my LED and laser drivers. May be more logical to ship it to somewhere in Canada though. :)

Close call, I'm glad you didn't fry the diode! :beer:

Re: FS: Black "grit" powdercoat 2.5W 18650 445nm laser! That is a steal. :whistle: I've had nothing but good experiences with ORF! :)

Hi Teej, welcome to LPF! Seems like you're off to a great start with all that knowledge!

It should be possible to make a stubby but wide heatsink, which can be threaded and inserted into the host. The driver isn't really a driver because it is direct drive with PWM to produce med and low modes. You'll need to get a boost driver for the 4x 18650 in parallel. Let me know if you...

Oh I see what you mean, you want to use a mechanical switch for a laser. :)

The current doesn't pass through the switch, it's an electronic switch and is connected to the micro-controller. For tutorials on modding the driver to boost brightness my swapping the MOSFET to a lower resistance version: [sold out] SKY RAY 6 x Cree XM-L2 T6 3-Mode Cool White Light...

Since BTC seems to be of controversy here, how much would you charge in USD?

Damn, just saw the explanation thread. WL did one thing, to bring me into the laser hobby. I don't have any WL products and never will, but it did spark my interest.

Thanks a lot of courage to publicly announce this. Congrats! :)

Is it tweakable? Congrats on 6K posts!

Interesting, thanks for the card. I'll have to check that out. :)

Very cool build, thanks for sharing. +1 What current is the diode driven at? Depending on the current, you may or may not need additional heatsinking. If it's >300mA, it's recommended to have one!
