I found this the other day and thought a few around here might enjoy it. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Maybe it should be required reading for new members before posting. I know I'd have learned a lot from it. (In fact, I did learn from it. ;) ) Hope you enjoy!

Re: aixiz laser module driver mod? First, welcome to the forum. The question you posed has been asked and answered already. ;) When you're searching, be sure to search a few months back...the default is only one week. But to answer your question, the included driver cannot be moded to drive...

C0ld, I love the new addition to the LPF homepage! Maybe this will get a few more people to use the search feature.

Posting here because I almost missed out as I rarely check the Deals Board. 15% is HUGE! Thanks G. I hope you aren't going into the red on any of this. (that was a good pun and I didn't even mean to make it) We've only got 3 hours left and I don't want anyone to miss out on SenKat Friday I'm...

I'm sorry you aren't well C0ld, hope you get over this cold soon.

I'm sure most have read the suggestion that in order to check current through the LD, one should use a small shunt resistor. And for ease of calculations the most common value used is a 1 Ohm resistor. When places in series with the load on your constant current supply it will not change the...

Is locking several boards something worth considering? Maybe :-/ even to go so far as to lock all but "Welcome" "General" "Companies" "Reviews" and "Safety" to all but members. But that might make this more like a laser club than a laser forum. Anyone have other thoughts on it? especially the...

Has anyone used Powerizer branded 10440s before? I was just looking around BatterySpace.com and found this I have a few cheapo 8 LED direct drive from 3 AAA lights, a lot like this DX one. how about using that as a host? Just two cells should be enough voltage for a BluRay and constant current...

How about after a search returns no results, it takes you back to the search page so that you can change the search parameters? I have found that if I hit the back button in firefox after a failed search, I cannot search again without refreshing.

Am I reading the datasheet right? SPL PL90_3 905nm 75W?!?!?! and for >$40 That could make a LOT of green. Or a killer burner. I hate to think about how big the batteries would have to be.

Would it be possible to add a DST option to the timezone options? or should I just change it manualy?

I was wondering how many diodes have died at the hands of forum members. :'( I've heard of quite a few people buying only one LD and I can't imagine very many of those are still working, but maybe I'm just clumsy. :D So far, I've killed two. One harvested from a DVD burner and one Senkat GB...

It seems that quite a few people want to buy a LD and an AixiZ, slap it in a flashlight and burn away. I'm sure we'd rather they didn't as more than a few will likely damage an eye or two. But as long as the "Instructions" are out there anyway I'd like to see as few diodes die a meaningless...

Subject says it all. I'm tired of using the viewfinder on my camera, and not willing to risk my eyesight (you only get two chances you know), so I need goggles. If anyone has a pair or two, or WL bucks PM me.

Well, I've done it now. Murdered my first diode... :'( I was give a dead DVD drive and promptly tore it to shreds. I was rewarded with a beautiful new (to me) LD. I didn't have a module to put it in so I was just holding the diode in it's heatsink/mount from the drive, with a lens from an old...
