can someone put me on Flower Road Massapequa, NY I can;t find the edit button... I'm special.

that is good to hear. I just placed my first order w/ them for a 1w 445nm labby w/ ANALOG modulation -- for $210 -- i think that's a nice price. Maybe they'll mistakenly send and allow me to keep an analog 1w 532...

Dunn, thanks for chiming in... It frequently is the simple stuff that gets overlooked - not in this case, but oftentimes it is... I emailed IQS with a slightly less detailed description of the situation, and they replied very quickly (IQS = Info Quickly Sent ?) with the best answer one could...

I don't know how much current the module draws... (I know, I'm such a noob) But I did not adjust the pot on the driver, so anyone that hos one of these modules can let me know what the proper vlaue should be... If there is a tutorial on how to troubleshoot these kinds of issues, I'd be happy...

voltage from PSU = 12VDC voltage out from regulator = 3.2 I measured 1.18VDC across the diode... (can to 2nd pin - there are 3 pins on this diode. 1 is the case, and the other 2 go inside. As I was measuring I noted the module was getting warm, so curious, I took out my celly and fired up...

ok, I guess I am the first to kill one... :banghead: I was positioning it in a copper heat sink, and I think I shorted something out... Can someone give me a few tips on how to check if i killed the driver vs. the diode? (without desoldering it preferred) Added: I was running with a 12V p/s...

you could make a motion-detecting multi-beam, self-fogging, laser vortex... Or better yet, if you met that dude (you know, while you were walking to St. Ives) that has seven wives, each with seven sacks, each with seven cats... you could play with all those cats at the same time. Now THAT...

I'm still a noob around here, but most of these guys seem to be honest, and want to help advance the hobby. MOST... I am sure that pointing out this particular member to the rest of the good folks here could help getting things straightened out.

I don't have anything useful to add, except to thank your son and you for his service...

Back in the mid-18th century, the French were creating the metric system, and there were two choices to use as the standard... 1) the length of a pendulum, whose period was one second - but subject to changes in earth's gravity at differing altitudes (which I think has been proven incorrect?)...

I just got mine. No LPM (noob... sorry) I connected to the same 3v cr-123 battery as the module from ItemQuickShip's 150 mw from about 6 months ago, and the 150mw was brighter than this new module... I think the 150mw might be somewhat overspec, as it burns thru thin black plastic bag in...

wow Dave, SERIOUS flashback to my high school shop teacher circa '82, teaching me to solder during robotics class. Mr Fahey, what a great guy and one of the best teachers. did YOU have him too? :thinking:

I just ordered one. I got my first pointer from them 150mw green. Not bad, burns black bags, never tried to light a match tho. wasn't thrilled with the build, I had to make a few adjustments to retaining rings and such to get it to work reliably. I did get it pretty quickly though... 4-5...

my friends and I once (accidentally) smoked half a grasshopper... We were hanging out on a construction site at night, and didn;t notice that there was a dead bug in our bag of bud. it crackled and popped like a seed would, so we really thought nothing of it, but later as we parted ways, and...

I vote for D but I laughed at A... I am probably gonna get one of those Aixiz 15mw greenies, just to play with my glavos

NYC representing... nice. Long Island here too!

I'm there with you on the cheap build... I got in on the Group Buy for the slow galvos, but perfect for a beginner like me. I am looking for a cheap Lab-Laser, but they're not so cheap after all, and building my own from pointer guts has been pointed out to me as NOT being the way... But I...

Got mine today... nice shipping job! getting all set to make it do something. Scanner unpacked on the table. Got a power cord to sacrifice. got my neighbor willing to help me drill out a big round CPU heatsink. Soldered the Yellow wire back onto the POT. got a nice stable 3 volt 1 amp power...

PM sent for shipping. Must've neglected to put my forum name in the paypal. thanks again!!!

Doing something "for good karma" is the backwards view. Karma comes because you do good things for the purpose of doing good things. It's like when your wife says "Well, you blahblahblah'd, and you didn't even apologize" and THEN you apologize, and she says "Well it's worthless if I had to ask...
