A few months ago I got a 520nm laser diode and a 12mm module, it worked perfectly with my psu, but now I want to put it in a host.
I'm a student and my budget is quite small, like 20-30$ for the host (I have to order the driver parts and the pcb yet and is going to be expensive)
Throught the...
Hi everyone! Today, looking for advance videos about taser designs, I have found one in which a guy is using a color changing laser!?
I don't know if this have been posted before or if the guy is in the forum and have make a thread previously, correct me pls.
Here is the video:

Hi everyone again! Today I have read a quite interesting post in Hackaday about how to create a one button interface with a capacitor and a ic. The first think which I have thought is diy laser driver.
The main problem of create a one button smart switch is that switch power off all the driver...
I don't know if everyone here knows what lucid dream means, summarizing is when you are conscious that you're dreaming and you can control it, allowing to dream whatever you want. Wikipedia link

Today I have seen the reality about the laser world. In a trip with my classmates, a really stupid guy trying to call attention had pointed at 3 feets to a friend of mine in the face while he wasn't looking, 3cm under the eye, with a chinese green pointer (20mw of ir + 10mw of green I estimate)...
Hi everyone! I'm here for show you my new build, is a lpc-826 powered by a 10440 lipo with a amc7135 driver, all hosted in a tiny hugsby xp-1 flashlight host, set at 350ma have a nominal power of 230, here a few photos! (sorry for the size of the pictures)
A month ago I bought a lpc-826 (from e-Bay), rated for 200-300mw. That was perfect, I drived it with a lm317 and worked fine (386ma). I runned without a heatskin, but with 12mm module for about 5 seconds. The module got warm, the negative pin was unsoldered and got led. I think that 5 seconds...
Hi, I have trying to upload many photos, but there were bigger than permited, and is a bit boring upload to online services how imageshack, which delete it with the time.

Hi everyone. I'm thinking in make a tiny red laser from a 10440 flashlight host, LPC-826 diode and linear driver, but I'm thinking that the voltage may fall short. Anyone knows the voltage drop of a LM317? I have a few and I'm considering use how driver :thanks:

Mp, arround 200mw
Mp-Hp, arround 275mw
Hp, arround 300mw

Hi everyone, recently I have an idea.
The idea is put a 5mm Led in a 5.6mm module with lenses. That's going to make a cheap but dirty blue "Laser". What do you think?
Thanks :D
