very nice man. Im going to order a 100mW green from o-like soon and was trying to find a way to do this. So thank you this is very helpfull :rolleyes:

Ok well I'm sure i saw it somewhere. anyway is there any way to control output then?

First off, forgive me for asking this lol I know I have seen it somewhere on here I believe a few days ago but I've been searching for 2 hours now and can't find a damn thing. SO my question is how can you use a pot other than the one on the stock driver for greenies to control power like on a...

oh ok haha. Well what are the possible causes of ledification?

I just lost my first and hopefully only LPC today as well. For starters, is it jsut me or is it a bitch to get out of its heat sink? I had a hell of a time getting it out of there and thats probably where i damaged it BUT it does power up it is just very dim. Sound like ESD?

man those are some awesome colors ya got there :D this is kind of funny, i was just thinking of doing the same thing with a blu-ray PHR and red lol but I deffinately like the way you put it all together. Very nice man

I just got back from the concert in the gardens laser/firework show. First off, it was an amazing show. Concidering that this was one of the only laser shows i have seen I cant really say weather or not it was a really good one or not, but I thought it was da shiznitz haha. I was wondering if...

wow that is insane. i just may get me one :D haha

SWEEEEET! :drool: Granted, I've only built one blu-ray laser, I cant wait for that. I've never seen even a 6x but my I know that my PHR at 125mA is frikkin awesome so i can imagine that a 12x is going to be AMAZING!!

WOW! That is awesome, I'd really like to make one like that soon. This may be a bad question lol but I'm still fairly new to electonics period and I was wondering how you made the laser seem to randomly pulse and change power in the demo in the third video....

Oh ok. That is exactly what I was thinking lol. Thank you Rog

Right and that is what i have been doing. but what i want to do is use just the pot to turn the laser on, then, starting from no power, ramp it up to full power. now like i said i have been doing just what you said Chip, but just turning on the laser with the pushbutton switch im using will put...

I understand that i cant just look at it to determine what kind of power its pushing. the pot im using though is set on the case i set the laser in so that i can control power during operation. is that ok? and what i mean is, is there a way to make it so that the highest resistance on the pot...

All right so I've got another question. In my last laser project, i used a phr blu-ray diode and the driver that rog8811 has up on his site, but instead of a 100ohm potentiometer i used a 25 ohm potentiometer. I used the 25 ohm partially because i couldnt find out at a radioshack near me and I...

Well, I'm happy to say that with everyones help I finished building my first laser last night. It's a bit more powerfull than I was actually expecting and I'd heard people say how the beam of the blu-ray is kinda strange but now I know exactly what they mean haha. Thanks guys for all of your...

Actually I'm using rog8811's driver on his site. Will that still be ok?

Ok I've got one more question. Will a regular 9v battery work for my Blu-ray or should I use something more stable?

I'm sorry LarryDFW but which link is that diagram in?

Wow thanks guys. That really helped me out a lot and cleared up a lot of things for me. Again, thanks.

Ok so I'm still very inexperienced when it comes to electronics and I've got a few questions for anyone that can help. First off, for a capacitor, it does matter which way the current is going through right? I mean there is a + and - side. On the 10mfd 16v one i got the pins are the same length...
