Another one 8-)

Did you like the use of Lasers SenKat? I can think of 3 different times they showed up. Two sets of greens, and what looked like a 20 W red! ;D

I figure this won't be worth looking at without a movie of the machine in action, so here's a small movie using the greenie.

I don't know if this counts for "laser-show" but it seems to me like it's a good place for a discussion of these fun things should go. I built mine last night (I was so pleased, I decided to wake up my brother to show him, and he was so sleepy, he didn't even understand what was going on! I...

I love Transformers when I was little. I think I liked them before I could talk. I've got an original Optimus Prime sitting in my window, where I keep all my stuff from my childhood that I'd rather not box up, and hide 8-) And Optimus looks amazing! I just wish they would have not done the...

That's awesome Tropmonky! Now I want to play with some CDs I've got lying around! That makes me wonder how Tunnels will look if I use a CD as the mirror instead of... well, a mirror. Great idea! Now I'm gonna go play!

I don't know if any of you have seen Transformers yet. I just saw it. And I thought it was awesome. The reason I'm posting that I thought it was awesome was that there were Green lasers in the movie. I hope that's not really a spoiler or anything, just thought it was worth mentioning. If you...

Thanks for making the link work SenKat. I took some pics of the IR diode putting out some IR. Forgive the limited quality, it's on a modded webcam, but at least you can see the IR coming out of the thing. I used a multi-meter's diode mode to test this, and I figured everyone would want to see it...

It's a longer exposure Kenom. Mine is probably maxing out at 5 mW. I was going to apologize for the overexposure on the last one, guess I forgot while I was resizing it. :-/ The Red one is much less than the Green, I'm thinking it's one maybe two mWs. I'm hoping my friend who works at Best Buy...

SenKat, that video was awesome! "The Light saber is in the chair" lol. I love the circular diffraction gratings. And here's another one for you Faithguy19. Two axis diffraction grating!

Here's one with the greenie!

Of my pictures that I've done with my laser, right now I'm liking the diffraction grating the best. I thought I'd share some of them, and maybe everyone will share their diffractoin grating pics too!

Thanks for the help Pseudo, Mine really won't let me stop down too much, and I was doing those shots hand held in room lighting, at night. The second one was terribly out of focus. You're right about the f-stops though, lower would give me better DOF, and I've got an SLR that I could use on...

SenKat, As for the Macro on my camera, I bought that camera specifically for the Macro. I've always loved Macro Shots, and when I was looking for a camera to buy (after I'd saved up enough money from my photography job) I looked at the Pentax Optio W20, and found out that not only was it...

I found that the diode is indeed IR, and I found the pins on the ribbon cable, but not the diode, it should be a pretty simple matter to just trace the path to the diode, and go from there. So I answered my own question ;), it's all good though. This place is so COOL, I can't wait to build my...

Re: Hello Here's the back side of the chip

I've been lurking for a few days, I just got a cheap green pointer, and caught the bug... I've got 3 lasers in the mail from DX...and I've only had the green one a week. I'm a Photographer, and my obsession has been with light, lasers are kinda like a dream come true for me. On a different...
