    I wonder what Wicked wants me to change?

    The message is over a month old, I don't really use/check my YouTube account or my Gmail so I had no idea they'd contacted me... Here's the video in question. I posted it at the height of the Wicked Arctic fiasco. My text was too much and the pacing was poor because I busted it out at work...

    Digital Pocket Osilioscope...

    I wasn't sure where to put this, but I ran across this and thought it was cool, and would interest many of the builders here. DSO Quad - Pocket-Sized Digital Oscilloscope - SparkFun Electronics Found it here for about $25 less, although the first link has the screen shots... DSO Quad -...

    400-500mW greens O-Like or Lazerer

    I'm looking at high powered greens and was curious what the hive's consensus was. I get the general sense that Lazerer with their option for a power certificate etc. has put them a bit over O-like in the customer service/product quality in the collective opinion of LPF right now. I'm looking...

    New 445nm Kryton Groove/MicroBoost build blinking

    I just finished assembling my Kryton Groove with A140 diode, and Dr. Lava MicroBoost V1 jumpered/soldered for 540-1000mA. It didn't do it when I benched it, but it was never on that long. Now, after a few seconds of use, it starts to blink. I thought it was possibly low battery, but it's...

    SCORE! (I have to brag somewhere...)

    I was at Goodwill with the wife unit and kids the other week. (for those not in the U.S., it's a second-hand thrift store chain that takes donated clothing and household goods, and uses the proceeds to fund job training for poor, disabled, and mentally challenged people.) They had a rack of...

    We lost "quick links" and subscribed threads?

    Is this functionality gone for good, or is it just hiding?

    Diode pin connectors?

    I was thinking about the final assembly of the Kryton Groove and 445nm A140 diode I'll be doing soon, and about soldering leads from the driver to the diode. Aren't there any slip-on connectors in the electronics supply places that you can solder the wire to, then slide over the diode pin...

    Strange (maybe not?) thing when burning with red.

    I've noticed sometimes when I get the focus just right with my 200mW O-Like "new style" Dilda I can get a very intense blue/white little flare right at the point of burning. I know it's not an overload of my eyes or anything (stupid/dangerous) like that, because I can see the little flare even...

    445nm test load questions 1000mA. (revised)

    Hi. I know I've been all over the map with this... first this thread here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/445nm-test-load-questions-53839.html I put it in Tutorials Help & Repairs, completely missing that there was the Drivers/Test-Load forum here. :p Then I've been reading what Dr. Lava...

    445nm test load questions.

    I'm gearing up for a 445nm build with Kenom's Kryton Groove group buy. From reading here, I think my best bet is to use a Dr. Lava Microboost http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_BoostDrive.php and I'll get it set to 1000mA. So for when I do the final pot adjustments, I'll want a...

    Need help c0ldshadow, my IP's banned.

    Hi. I sent an email two days ago, but AFAIK, you're swamped. Anyway, as you might remember, I got auto-banned when the temp username I signed up with to ask for help getting my old account PW reset got me on the two-username list. I can get in from work, and tethered on my phone, but not...

    Re: Why do lasers look so.. ugly .. !? (:

    Re: Why do lasers look so.. ugly .. !? (: You're right, but most larger high-output lasers are based on lab designs. And since the laser, when turned on, is flashy and "neato" enough, there's not much point in making the housing fancy. When you're like Wicked and selling potentially dubious...

    SENKAT!

    Perhaps I missed the part where you warned me that the diode would arrive looking like a wrapped up piece of rock cocaine? >:( LOL! ;D Thank GOD Mrs. Dual didn't open it up, she would have thought I was abusing mail-order narcotics, fat-fingered the aluminum foil and then inadvertently ripped...
