100mW bluray pen - a gift for Bill!

[Eudaimonium]

Nice laser! It's about time you finished it. It's been like three months since you promised Bill this laser. So did you measure it's power?

It's about time the host arrived!

eh-hem..... mr. correct my spelling all the time. :crackup::crackup: tisk, tisk!!!

I shall humbly proceed to kill myself now, if that would ease your pain and suffering from my spelling mist....
Wait. What exactly did I misspell,
Suprise -> Suprised....

I am suprised. What exactly is wrong?

I've been known to misspell my own name :beer:

Peace,
dave

Where, the only single mistake I ever saw you made is when you misspelled "Peace" once, in your signaturistic post ending.

Surprised is the correct spelling. And Dave's made a couple of other slip-ups in spellings too...

Really?!

Dude... it's like I've been living in ignorance my whole life now...

Anyhow, let's not derail the topic. I am very interested in what Bill has to say. I directed him on this thread. We should be hearing from him any moment now.

Yeah, I finally made it here. Long workday, dinner, now finally the computer, and my ISP has cured the service problems that were bedeviling my neighborhood. I like this laser, and you are correct, I don't have a 2 x AAA boost driver bluray pen. Closest I can come is a 2 x 10440 PHR with 1117 driver giving 115mW, the host is nowhere near as nice as the one I will evidently soon have. I will be looking forward to it. Nice pics and video, by the way.

Nice to see you finally made it here to say something.

Thanks for the compliments! You will judge the laser firsthand though, not only pics and video - they ain't doin' it justice!

I'll try to get it shipped monday morning, might take 2 or 3 weeks to reach you so I'd better get it on the way as soon as I can.

I'll definetly make one of these for myself - host is really something.

hey eudaimonium or anyone else...
i have this host and an old o-like driver.
i have no idea of the pinout of this driver :/ its the blu ray boost one...
lastly i have no idea how to mount the switch and spring?
cheers

Hey TTerbo, a better way to ask these questions is to create a new thread specifically addressing your question, and refer to the old thread with a link. That way you're not performing thread necromancy, and asking about a driver pin-out in a thread about someone's 100mW 405nm pen build.

Word of note ...

I did not use an O-like boost driver here, I made my own LM3410X boost driver which works differently a bit.
