    Assembly of a Micro-Drive (rkcstr driver) by ME!

    Re: Assembly of a Micro-Drive (rkcstr driver) by M I got their $40 or $50 model from Wal-Mart that has 4 quartz elements and a fan setting (although I don't use the fan). What I figured out that worked - after much trial and error (which Rkcstr can attest to), is that: 1.  You need quartz/IR...

    I just got accepted to Grad School at UCSB

    Yea, its about the same for EE. At my school (Purdue), there's a slim chance that you'll get a teaching assistantship if you're a MS student, but that's about it. I was talking with the graduate coordinator and from the sounds of it, they've got over 1000 applications to weed through - and...

    803T $8.00 Usa only GB

    Re: 803T $9.50 Usa only GB Jake...I know that this GB will never happen...but STOP advertising in other people's sales/GB threads. If you really want your products to stand out more, pay c0ld for an advertisement on the site.

    I just got accepted to Grad School at UCSB

    Congrats!  Are you going for MS or PhD? This is really early for a school to admit you, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a nice offer attached!  I don't think I got my admission letters until late February/early March if even then. The good news is you can use this as leverage to the...

    BATTERY LIFE?

    One thing I forgot to mention was that my example related to a AA, but should still hold for thicker batteries, just nowhere near as badly.  A 123 or a CR2 is designed to handle a higher current load than a AA, which is designed for a higher load than a  AAA.  So it won't be as bad as I said in...

    BATTERY LIFE?

    The battery type vs. the discharge rate also makes a huge difference. Under heavy loads (which covers about any laser that comes from here), an alkaline battery has a severe drop in life, e.g. you might only get 2-300 mAh out of that 800 mAh battery if it's an alkaline. If it's a NiMH or a...

    F/S:Red Laser, Flexdrive, Ultrafire Host - SOLD

    Re: *F/S* Red Laser, Flexdrive, Ultrafire Host $13 When someone replies, it cuts off the last little bit because the title is too long. Since most people who have been here a while just use "Last 40 Posts" to view stuff, they just see "Re: *F/S* Red Laser, Flexdrive, Ultrafire Host $13" If...

    What Wattages can do what?

    Welcome to the forums :) I'm guessing it's at least 75 mW.  My KD50 (50 mW) doesn't do any of that without a magnifying glass. I would be careful on three counts - first, you're probably getting plenty of IR out with the laser, which isn't visible but can hurt your eyes.  Second, at those...

    Adjust your laser's output on the fly(digital pot)

    Re: Adjust your laser's output on the fly(digital I've got a driver nearly done with testing which uses a 10k pot, and never sends more than 0.5 mW through the pot. If my driver was integrated with your digital pot, that would be an awesome mod! And I have adjusted the pot while it was on! The...

    Anyone tried this Wholeseller yet ?

    It's got a misleading description. It might be a good idea to contact them.

    New 100mw Green laser indoor beams

    You broke the laser...and you're filing a claim??? You won't be able to get any back for as long as you are in possession of the laser. And PayPal doesn't refund shipping.
