    Heat sinks required

    Update: Thanks to Eudaimonium for machining these for me. :friend: Very nicely done at a good price. Thanks for looking. David Hi, I need a pair of direct fit alum. heat sinks made up, one for a 5.6mm diode, and the other for a 9mm diode. I have a sketch with the dimensions, hopefully...

    Using an 'old' LD as a test load.

    Hi All, I thought that if an LD was still conducting (forwards) or is now an LED, then it could be used as a test load. Whilst experimenting with DrLava's new microboost v1 driver, I was using an old GGW-H20 as the load, the solder blob 'jumper' set the range to 540 mA - 1000 mA. The minimum...

    Soft-Start Driver

    Hi All, Does anyone know of, or has anyone made / make a soft-start driver ? As most of us overdrive our diodes, I'm sure that they would last longer and be more reliable, if, when they were switched on, they would be ramped up to full power in 3 or 4 seconds, instead of max power instantly...

    Battery charging and dis-charging

    Hi Folks, In my limited experience with this hobby, I have found that the re-chargeable Li-Ion cells seem to charge and dis-charge at different rates, and store different amounts of charge. I have found that by charging them individually (one at a time), they then seem to last more...
