Been a while since I posted here last time, but since I have a lot of free time over the summer I've decided to continue my 650nm build.
A while ago I made a heatsink in aluminum, but it was something odd with the drill I used to make the hole. So now there is a gap of 0.5mm or something like...
So I dug up our old Canon EOS 1000 and was going to shoot a roll of film just for fun. But when I was going to insert the film, I saw that it appeared to be some kind of oil on the shutter. I experimented with several shutter speeds, and I found that when I have a reasonably low shutter speed...
I came across this just recently. Apparently all Zune 30gb models started failing at pretty much the same time. Epic fail, anyone?

So... I was searching through the house trying to find some sunglasses to see if they would block my blu-ray. I know these aren't usually sufficient as protection, but I decided to try anyway, just for fun. So I found two pair of glasses. The first pair were useless as safety glasses, as the dot...
This is probably kind of a stupid question, but can a dead PHR-803T work as a dummy load for setting the current? I'm 95% certain it can, but I want to be 100% certain.
I'm in need of a dummy since I need to do some testing. If I was going to build a dummy without SMD-parts, what would be needed? Sorry I can't explain more, but I'm in a hurry.
Today I recieved my thought bluray host from DX (sku.2070) and was going to measure what current the booster driver puts out. The problem is that the diver is held in place by a metal ring I need to get rid of. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but since the ring must be intact I need no...
What happens if you add 358 CDs, a wall and a few hours of spare time? Check below for the answer...
If you also have ~2-300 more CDs and a CCFL tube, you can also do this...
Currently I'm at my grandpas place, and when I was shining around my DX30 down in his garage/workshop (I was bored, okay? :P) when I noticed a signal orange sticker on a box. When I shined the laser on it, the colour of the dot suddenly changed to yellow/orange :o I tried with several...
So I finally got my DX30, which I have been waiting for for almost a month. I was happy. However, I'm not really that happy anymore, and I really hope this is a battery problem. At first it was really bright, but after having it turned on for a few seconds it started to dim. Not gradually, but...
Currently I'm working on a DIY spirograph project. What I don't have I can easily find here in town, and the only thing I can't find anywhere is a good acrylic front surface mirror. I've been looking almost everywhere here in Sweden, but I just can't find any. If anyone here knows about a...
