Thanks for the information. It's very much appreciated. I will post some pictures of the case I am working on when it's finished in a week or two

no, actually I want both I have created a really nice effect using a laser pointer and a few led's and managed to get the beam to bounce off one edge and onto another and then across in a beam to hit a 3rd and 4th edge (unusual shaped window it's a HAF X case. With a few LED's on there at the...

Twice, once to Barcelona from London and then the return trip. It was a great experience for me as I had always wanted to go on an aeroplane flight. When it was taking off I was so overcome with the emotion I was close to tears it was so excellent. Until that time I had feared that I might live...

I bought a 1mw laser pointer to use in a computer case I am modding. I know next to nothing about lasers but just need some help understanding exactly what I need to do in order to power the laser from a USB cable. I know that inside the cable will be one red wire and one black, and it is...

10Mbps download (soon to be upgraded to 20Mbps) Actual speed is around 9.75 to 10.01Mbps (It's a cable connection) 1Mbps upload actual speed 1Mbps I'm pretty impressed with my ISP they used to be called NTL and they were brilliant then, they are still pretty good even though they are now...

I used to think I could be a bit nutty till I found LPF Geeks corner and now I realise I am quite sane indeed. I love seeing what you lot get up to though

I don't know about others who have seen this, but to me that's the most impressive thing I have ever seen wired up on a breadboard. That's genius level stuff to me. Do you mind if I ask you how many years you have been doing electronics to reach the point where you could build something like...

thank you, I have learnt a lot in the last few days of just browsing the site

Sorry I hope you dont mind me posting when I dont have the technical answers you are looking for, but suppose you were to ditch the lasers and go with another form of lighting try something called a flower strobe some of those flower stobes can produce absolutely beautiful effects and if used...

Is that permanent or will you regain your ability to see colours normally again soon?

A while back I followed a guide in another forum to mod my Microsoft Sidewinder x4 keyboard. I replaced all the Red LED's with blue ones. This is the guide I followed changing the backlighting x4 Although I am reasonably happy with the result it has now occured to me that it may be possible to...

how did he know it was his? A lot of people have the same kind of radios

thanks very much for the welcome

Thanks very much for the links and stuff I will take care to read them. I am aware you must get a lot of noobs asking the same questions over and over again and I dont really want to annoy people like that So I am reading all the stickies I can and I have found a lot of people have useful links...

My cat loves chasing the red dot. I make sure she realises that it's just a game by showing her the whole body of the pointer next to the dot on the floor and let her see how the light is made by me. I am pretty certain she understands its a game but just to satisfy her need to actually catch it...

wow that sounds like some sophisticated stuff they got there. I wish I had studied physics now instead of computer science It must be mental building stuff like that

Hello folks. I have decided to join this forum even before messing with any lasers. I enjoy doing VERY simple electronics projects and dabbling with stuff (making LED's light up and flash, making simple circuits etc). I realised lasers are potentially dangerous but this thread here...
