I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but Aixiz is now selling the glass lens for their standard modules on E-bay.

Yes, it's true. My open can diode which I was running with 600ma's, and was putting out a beautiful 350mw's died. :o
I knew it was coming as that is a lot of current to run into these things... ;D I have another one I need to harvest. I will be limiting current to 400ma's on it or I might even...
Just for the heck of it, I decided to graph my X105 again to see if it would "take off" like it has done in the past. It did peak at almost 138mw's. The only change from when I did my other graphs is it is just a hair cooler in here, and the humidity is a tad lower.
There really isn't much to say except it works, and works very nicely. For use with an open can diode it is good to go as is. The driver will supply 340ma's all the way down to 3.3 volts before it begins to drop off. So for use with an open can diode, all you need to do is put a capacitor across...
After much deliberation I decided to order my first greenie from Nova. Ordering a laser of this type from Nova was a no brainer based on all the great reviews and the support this company offers. I first heard of Nova when SenKat did his review of the X85 on CPF, and I was just as impressed with...
Condensation will happen when a module is cooled below the ambient air's dew point. I have cooled my module well below the ambient temperature and there has been no condensation. Following is a calculator that will help you determine how much you can cool your module and not have to worry about...
Can anyone whom has modded the Dorcy please let me know how much current the diode draws? I know the diode is connected directly to the driver board and there have been good results. It has been suggested to use a capacitor in addition to the driver board, however on some of the driver boards I...
Re: Group buy for 16X dvd burner diodes !
Hey Daedal,
The only problem is now we are going to have to figure out a name for your new circuit.. ;D Looking forward to it.
You have more guts than I do. I really wonder what the power output of the diode was when you pushed 600ma. through it...
I am using my cell phone as a modem to access the Internet, so I have limited connectivity. Last night we had a lot of lightening, and I think it knocked out my modem. TWC says there are no outages. Right after the storm, I went to turn my computer on and it is dead. I hope it's just the power...
