yeah i realized that a little later on. i have some feelers out now finding me some drives that are no good anymore- well to 99% of everyone else anyway. from there i will harvest more powerfull lasers to experiment with. if i ever scrape up enough cash i will just toss the phr in a host and...
thanks. so far i found a 8x lg for 250...
i have been researching, and know a considerable ammount so far. what i meant in my post was more along the lines if any of these dealers actually had sleds back in stock. i realize that didnt come out in that way. BUT that does not constitute someone...
i definatly agree. without this info id be watching gilmore girls with my wife...
you my friend deserve a medal for pulling me away from her and that crap!
i put it in the housing and solderd the wires on before i did anything then did a test of my driver before hooking it onto the diode. my lowest pot setting was around 38 to about 140ish. i run mine in a big heatshink with thermal compund no more then 1 minute on 2-3 minutes off. i have no...
thanks frothy. i looked for weeks to find that answer. if you do leave, i want to say thanks for helping with sharing the knowledge you have/had.
now on to the next project!
I wish i woulda seen a little notice before hand. but im good. everything has to change at one point or another to keep it going and to keep up with current tech/programming.
Here is my laser at about 130 ma.
found a descent size piece of aluminum and drilled it out, installed some thermal compount that i was using for my processor installation in my pc. now all i need is a 5 ohm resistor and i will remake the driver to support more heat. (IE. heat sink on the...
yeah i found a little more info on that late last night.
good lookin out man!
i think im going to build a heatsink so i dont have to buy one.. i have some thermal compound at home. thats a little more saved up for the glass lens...
tested about 21-123ma. so i went for it. and it is the most vibrant color i have ever seen in my life. i turned up for the few seconds i had it on about 2 minutes apart as to not burn out the ld.
but yet this is only the begining.
i still need a glass lens and goggles.
create a labby host...
