Sorry horhay, but a resistor and capacotor will not do. Look up the simplest driver here using the LM317 voltage regulator. It's setup in our use as a constant current regulator. Using a resistor and capacitor may work on paper but you need more than that. Regarding the voltage thing. Each...

Oh, it was sarcasm then. I get it now. I though you were hoping for a diamond heatsink to pop up. Hehe. I mean the diamond isn't a problem I've got a huge one lying around here somewhere but I just can't cut it on my lathe! I do somewhat agree on the copper angle though but it's more that it's...

Re: WIP Selling high powered 445nm Lasers! Nice hosts! Can we have the pics this size though please... ? ... 800 x 600 pixels not 1024 x 768 pixels so I, and others, don't have to go scrolling to see them. Thanks, M :)

No Andy, it only boosts it! :D;) lol You boast about how powerful it would be when you DON'T have a high power lens! M :)

I hate to say this Toaster but a Flexdrive IS a boost driver. However, you're half right. You might not be able to use a Flexdrive with a 10x or a 12x BR as the Flexdrive may not be able to put out enough voltage. You will want a MicroBoost driver. With a high power BR you should be okay...

That's what the, "Reviews", section is for. So you can decide this for yourself! ;) If you want to stick with green and just want to buy, then go have a trawl through the reviews and build up a picture. It's really the only way. Personally I build all mine and have only ever bought one...

Optical output may be different but if the Microboosts are setup in the same way, the current draw should be similar. Bearing in mind I was wrong about how I'd set mine! They're not at 800mA but 900mA each! D'oh... The readings will be different but will still be good to know. Yes, the way you...

THe recommendation is not to expect any laser at that price to output 200mW of green. That's the simple truth of it. Have a look round the forum, especially in the, "Companies", and, "Reviews", sections. This will show you where you can get 200mW output lasers and what you should expect to pay...

No problem. I'm glad you found it useful. Now go build that laser! :D Pics in a fresh thread when you're done too please... M :)

Didn't quite understand this netwave but in case the SPAM had gone by the time you read my post, there was a SPAM post from someone called Sophia trying to peddle wares and had quoted a previous post to make it look legitimate. It was definitely SPAM so it wasn't related to your post that is...

To be honest, a gauranteed output of 90mW for £40 is pushing it. Even a well respected seller of just modules of ~100mW is going to set you back that $60. I think you either need to aim a little lower in power, or save up a bit more. For UK deals, Odicforce is pretty good. I haven't bought...

Check out the links in my sig below. They are guides to building your first laser. You may not want to do this but it explains a lot of the stuff you are asking about. About voltage... No, this more relates to the wavelength a particular diode outputs. ~2V - IR and NIR diodes, ~2.5V - Red...

Apologies, no, it's this kit where you have everything except the diode - Focusing Laser Host with Matching High Power Red Laser Diode Driver - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop I believe the 100mW kit is the same kit but with the 100mW diode already included, (so you can...

Wow. Casio getting irked then. Maybe they've been, "asked", to try to be more active in prohibiting people getting their hands on them? This AND the tri-wing screws? Oooooo... ! M :)

I'll watch with genuine interest... M :)

^ It's completely his decision on what power he wants. Just because you have this new idea in your head that high power is unecessary, (I'd like to know how you define high power... In fact, no I couldn't care less how you'd define it), lots of posts with you bringing this up is just bating so...

Spam reported guys... M :)

Check out the, "Reviews", and, "Companies", sections. That is THE list of sites. Do some looking, the information is there. M :)

Re: Easiest way to pot mod a 5 mW green laser poin Three consecutive posts, answering a guy in a thread that has a, 'latest post', in February 2009? Are you feeling okay? :p M :)

I appreciate that. It does seem to be a logical thought. Looking at the poll now though, I think you would probably come to the conclusion to buy something else. However, it only shows 5 votes, and doesn't offer anything as to how the conclusions were made. I mean, does the owner have anything...
