    Casio seems to be potting projectors

    Well, in the case of SE & NJoy vs FDA the FDA quoted directly from the forums of users, using their own statements, and it is now in Appeals of the Supreme Court thanks to those quotes. The forum Admins and mods asked that nothing negative be posted, but the constant influx of newbies wasn't...

    Casio seems to be potting projectors

    I take it you are speaking for C? Inside information? No, the customer wouldn't. Geesh..... C doesn't have repair centers for these units? That doesn't seem very profitable for them. Dell charges more for labor than the parts they put in. So, if a unit becomes off color due to a few diodes...

    Casio seems to be potting projectors

    TeufelWolf, I understand you arent defending it. It's just the more I think abt it, the more ridiculous situations I come up with. hakzaw1, I find it hard to believe they will seal them in in such a way they cannot be removed. If 1 or 2 fail they cannot expect a customer to purchase a new unit...

    12x GB Proper is a go!!!

    Thanks for the info HM. I'm always up for a good challenge. I might find a few ppl willing to let theirs go cheap that dont want to fool with them. :whistle:

    Casio seems to be potting projectors

    That is such a crock. No wonder we are in the shape we are. So, someone burns your house, using Exxon gasoline, and doesn't have the money to pay damages. You sue Exxon for making the gasoline since they have "deep pockets". It wasn't being used for its intended purpose. That means gasoline...

    12x GB Proper is a go!!!

    Thats not a bad one at all to get as a bonus. Some how I was thinking it maxed abt 100ma. My bad. I actually need some lower power diodes for my small room show project I have in mind. I need to write that on the sled box or make a list. I don't mind it being flat. I'll call it the "wife diode"...

    Casio seems to be potting projectors

    I'm all for auto replace. String searching using the fuzzy functions will still find it. Once its found and defined, its a direct target because its now a defined pattern. We all know whats being referred to and calling it a C or N pretty well kills a search as its looking for only a C. How many...

    Burning Through Paper With 5mW

    Lately, 50mw seems to be the min on them and qumefox has had a few as high as 71mw I think. That should light something up focused. I was surprized when my 1st one burnt black plastic quickly into a hole with a lens. lol Is that a shoulder mount Flamin?:crackup:

    12x GB Proper is a go!!!

    I'm pretty sure it's a low power red. I have not a clue on it's max input ma. Better try to find the specs on it. Sounds like a good one to put in a small wall laser show unit! I need to start looking at DAC's and what kind of output combo's I want. I can see some optics orders in my...

    DIY Diode Driver Changes in Layout

    I looked hard for a 25 ohm SMD pot with no luck so far. They would work for builds 125ma out or less. 350mw is gonna need a 3.6ohm resistor, no pot. It'll put out abt .440W of heat so a 1/2W resistor will work. If its going in a project box RS has a 25 ohm wirewound. Good luck on your project.

    Planning DIY TPS63000 based driver

    @ rafa, Yea, I know a 741 is to dirty. It was just an example quick out of my head op amp that doesn't require the critical low value resistors. They do exist. Actually the OPA3xx series looks promising. I think I stated that before in a post, maybe in another thread if not here. I just walked...

    DIY Diode Driver Changes in Layout

    A 1-10uf cap is plenty. The pot will probably fail as is. They are rated for 1/4w and 5 ohms will put it over 1/3w. So......when you dial closer to 0 the load falls on the small area really straining it hard. A 100 ohm pot won't be easy to set, especially near the lower end. if you wanted 50ma...

    Mini Micro SD/TF USB Card Reader for only 1 cent (on Focalprice)

    Lets see.........I have 3 kids and 3 grandkids....with the 1 I have coming I could drop ship 6 and have 7 of the 100 lol Did you login in and pay and it goes if its to anothers name and address ie dropshipped as a gift? Wonder if there is a decent chip or part worth .01 in them? Ah....the...

    Looking for a special equation...

    Integers by definition are whole numbers. No decimals or fractions. I don't see how this is gonna be accurate for anything but estimating. If you used this definition and the TI is using a true integer 5.9 + 6.1 = 11 not 12. I'll stick with the >5 rule lol

    Using a micro controller? LOOK HERE

    It's really to good of a deal to pass on if you have any interests in the area of outside pc control. I have full blown C, C+ & C++ compilers too. It's command set may be limited to certain functions, but they should be pretty versatile to do most things you'll think of even as a beginner. I'd...

    micro boostdrive vs flexdrive from 18650 driving 445nm LD

    This is one of those questions of "why" to me. You are risking a diode from a spike and a test load can be made for a couple bucks. I haven't built my 1st high power yet. Just starting off low and working up. I have an A140 445nm and a 12X Blu Ray 405nm and had read so much good abt the flex's...

    Planning DIY TPS63000 based driver

    Yea, when I saw the refs it was pin compatible. That's why I suggested it. No major changes AFAIK. The not so high gain op amps normally don't have such critical value resistors ie 741....... I couldn't see the need for a 20 gain and those resistor values arent something you'll have laying...

    Mini Micro SD/TF USB Card Reader for only 1 cent (on Focalprice)

    I went ahead and ordered one. lmao I figured it was worth it for the 50% power keychain I got from them. I knew it was going to be low too...............price justified thing.

    New diode 140 fail

    I'm glad you 2 worked it out. I do think this could have been resolved in PM's and not a public spectacle. I have 8-11 diodes not mounted yet. 4 are pre-extracted. If ones a dud, well..it's a dud. It's the chance you take. DTR is highly experienced at this as many on here are. That's why I...
