Regarding the soundcard DAC section, a link to the thread over here would probably be a good temp, or regular addon since the thread really explains all from hardware to setup and configuration: http://laserpointerforums.com/f47/sound-card-dac-tutorial-40569.html Best regards

Post deleted since I can see that someone actually got hold of Jeff. He will probably get to my mail eventually.

It is a bit worrying, I had mail conversation with Jeff until 5 days ago since he is sending me a few flexsmods. He told me he would conclude it once his ban was settled on the 2nd, so he knew when the ban was over. Nevermind the FMs, this is just to show that he has involvements, and that they...

I bought 6 identical hosts and in 1 one of them I had the exact same problem as you describe. The "click" part is often missing when pressing the clicky and if I do get it to switch it can pop back on its own, or be just as hard to turn off. I disected it till I only had the plastic clicky...

What a funny build awesome :gj: If you drive the diode with more than 500mA it will not increase much in power and eventually it will die: http://laserpointerforums.com/f50/lpc-826-current-72469.html So if no power is really gained from going above 500mA, then you should just run it at...

I am almost certain that would do the trick stiffening the board to a point where no flexibility would be present. I will mount the laser assembly on a aluminum plate in my scanner once I find a usefull "host" :-) So I should have no issues with alignment. If MDF is used as the actual scanner...

Would have been lovely to use a thick aluminum baseplate, but then I would have to think about electrical isolation etc. That will come in the next scanner I make :-) I have ALL bits ready now, but still havent found a suitable housing to put it all in. It has been a looooong process, but mostly...

Thanks for all your help guys, I am certain I can lite it up now without blowing any of the diodes. The diodes are already isolated from eact other, you can have a look at my assembly here...

Thank you for that specification Wolfman I feel more confident hokking up the second module now :beer:

Its for a RGB scanner build and my flexmods have proper heatsinks and will get a fan attached to the heatsink in the final setup. I am feeding 12v to the driver anyway so atm with 1 diode attached I have the same heat amount and it barely gets warm. In a handheld host a different driver would...

How much is 1/2 inch in the metric system? :huh: :yh: Did you use mdf as the actual scanner baseplate, or just the laser part like me? The larger the foodprint the bigger issues with alignment I would imagine :-)

I guess I have to live with it until I can get a better module. The first build was on 12mm and this is on 10mm. That 20% extra thickness does a lot. When I lift the new build from the table the dot (15 feet away) misaligns a bit, but then realigns again once it sits back on a plane surface. I...

Thanks alot, much appreciated :thanks:

I had noticed that the beam specs of greens was narrower, but with this particular pointer its the worst of the bunch that I have, unfortunately its also the strongest :-) If you have a look at the second last picture its quite obvious how thin the beam on this particular module is. It can be...

Thanks :-) The precision is actually better than what the pictures indicate. The red and blue mix quite well and overlap almost perfectly. The green however is a different story. It is a very poorly aligned chinese junk pointer that results in a really narrow green beam because most of it is...

Some time ago I made my first RGB build on a piece of MDF, see the "Cheap heatsink for ..." in my signature. Now it was time to "upgrade" to a more compact version with the introduction of turning mirrors into the build + a dual LPC setup with a PBS (the PBS part is not done yet). NB.: You...

Ahh I see, so it is actually possible to hook it up so both wont blow if one of them does! Perfect. I am not very skilled in the electronics department unless its building from schematics and stuff like that :-) So did I understand this correct (this setup will not blow both, but just turn...

Hi all. I am about to combine two LPC-826 with a PBS and was wondering the optimal/best practice way of driving these diodes. I am using flexmod p3 but cant quite figure out if I should drive them both of 1 driver or seperate. Any pros and cons I should be aware of? Is it possible to hook up...

Also agree ^ There are so many hosts to choose from and if you are going to invent your own parts anyway, then you might as well go with a commonly used host, or why not pioneer a new signature build yourself ;-)
