Paul -- I PM'd Sta and maybe he has some documents which they say are included. Mine seems way off but no calibration instructions. HM

I got my spectrometer today -- FAST shipping. I plugged it into two computers and the systems only recognized the camera. NO software. I was told that I need to download the software from their website -- What a mess -- I can occasionally get a display but no calibration instructions or...

I should mention that I defocus the output for glue. Actually, my dentist's "UV" device looks more 450 nM. HM

HEYyyyy ... Will the blackbust 8 drive a 405 NM diode with about 12V input? Mike

I try to talk my dentist into giving me outdated glue. He can't believe my 405 lasers! RAPID cure. HM

Lasersbee -- Thanks for the update. I may affix the "loose stuff" with a few drops of UV cure glue. He says that I'll have the tracking number tomorrow. :whistle: HM

He asked me to wait 3-4 weeks. Its now been 4 weeks and no tracking number or communication.:yabbmad: I questioned again through ebay. HM He replied quickly and says I'll have a tracking # tomorrow.

I saw one of these laser killers once on the net. It was an enclosed chamber which drew bugs in where they were zapped in a closed controlled environment. I believe they used a small fan or attractant in the "death chamber". Detection and zapping in a small area seems easier. HM

F...... 1 mm lenses are difficult to reassemble after you drop it and step on it. HM

The use of a large pipeline welder worked for many years around here in north Iowa. HM

If you have metal pipes, connect a welder from one end to the other. Get a bunch of watts going through. HM

That small Estes rocket was called a "Streak". 1/2 A to an A engine recommended. My friend got tired of it and launched with a C6-7 ---- We found it three days later beside a gravel road 4 miles away! HM

Scott --- Light up the tube but DON'T turn the key to lase. Let it warm a while, turn the key and if it clicks a couple times with no beam, wait longer. It has always worked for me. Don't let it sit there snapping to ignite. HM

Chris -- I have an SSY-1 plus a couple little brothers made in Israel, both using low duty cycles for range finding. Mine have Q switch cells which self trigger and give a shorter pulse. As stated above, I started with good sized camera strobe power supplies but you need to find out the...

I have a LASOS LGK 7872 ML02 ArI laser which I forget to light up often. I remember the days of vacuum tubes and those high power tubes often requires a warm up period. After about 5 months of non-use, I powered it up --- ~5 minutes of filament ON and only then, turned on the lase switch...

Portable CO2 can be done if you can find the parts. RF excited at 27.125 Mhz at 380 Watts can give 12 Watts of CO2. 04/26/2021 -- I still have it but I think the PWM went out on it. I need to look into it -- just takes time !!! HM

PMAN - Looong ago, I called my pile of burned diodes my "dead heap" ! HM

You dudes poked my interest. I had to order one --- Thanks --------- HM

The assembly is adjustable. "If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable!" HM

Chris -- This is my condenser assembly ---- I have a simple SMA fiber input fitting and one to hold your PCX housing. I am being careful NOT to burn another expensive component. The fiber cable should protect the FAP if something goes wrong. I will be cleaning all optics before I bring...
