I just got my laser and put it together. When I turn it on, the beam is not a focused dot. It looks like a snow flake... Is this normal for BR driodes? I tried to take a pic but my phone doesn't pickup anything but the main dot. I thought it was my eyes but I tried it with a few other people and...
I ordered a PHR from charliebruce here on the forums. I can make these drivers with my eyes closed. I built 3 more for 3 reds and all work fine. These f***ing blurays just dont want to work!
Would it be suitable grounds to say that my driver is fine because my red works flawlessly on it?
Honestly, the only thing I can think of is the lack of power... The driver operates any red diode flawlessly. This is the diode I am using.
New 100mW 405nm Blue-Violet blu-ray Laser Diode - eBay...
I'm not sure what the problem here is. I just made another driver based of the old DDL circuit(lm317t, 100ohm pot, 10ohm resistor, cap, diode) and it runs my red 120mw's beautifuly from a 9v source.
When I connect my BR diode, it blinks for a split second and shuts off. Is it my power source...
Its been a very long time since Ive posted here. I saw a kid playing with a little laser and it brought back memories. I checked ebay and the prices of bluray diodes has dropped. So I couldn't resist. I bought my self two bluray 100mw diodes.
I tried to use one of my very old drivers which I...
CV086553763AU cant be tracked online, only via post office. Ive sent a few stuff with this and i was never able to find a site where i can track the item.
ATM we got a Toyota Tarago, we are selling that off and getting an RX8.. Cant wait! In the end i wish to own a Porsche Cayman or a 911(977) turbo or maybe even the new Skyline GTR 2008 :P
I'm going to probably get one and im going to get it tested for output. If the output is lower than the stated, i will try and push it to see how far it goes.
Im in need of very bright torches, something which will be alot brighter than the MXDL torch mod. If anyone has anything to offer, or knows of torches for under $50(preferable around $30) PLEASE post here or PM me.
Im talking torches with around 100m throw if not more
GO GO GO
Hey all,
Well after completing the MXDL torch mod, its brightness is amazing. Its very useful for fishing at night and other stuff. I want to see what other torches people here can recommend for under $50(preferably around the $30 dollar mark) which will be much brighter than the MXDL torch...
Ive sucessfully completed this mod. Took me a while as i had a MXDL housing and it went missing. I then had to order another one while i waited for the back ordered voltage thing to arrive. It works sweet. My main problems were getting the damn wire to solder to the emitter terminals! I got that...
What would you have it do in a spirograph?
They seem really cool but also sound pretty expensive. It also doesnt sound like we can just buy 1 or 2 to try em out either :(
I bought a "Faulty" LCD projector off ebay for $35 dollars. I fixed it my self(abit of solder) and now ive got my self a projector which uses globes that cost $8 dollars and last 500 hours. Only downside it its halogen and the heat produced by the globe is huge.
1 inch? It cant be. Most optics(from projection TV's) can be used for a DIY projector and they are around 350mm - 500mm focal length. Or is that 1/2 foot to 1 foot?
I'm sick of waiting for the DX back orders which take 3 - 5 weeks. I'm looking for 3 - 5 50mW DX pen/pointer style lasers. Not the TRUE ones, the other cheaper 25 dollar ones.
If anyone here knows where i can get these kinds of lasers for the same price or has some to offer please let me know.
