Collecting 445 Diode QRCodes/Serials

[bobhaha]

I don't think this is clear enough... how much definition do you need?

Best I could do...

If that's good enough I've got another 11 for ya

 

[rhd]

Bobhaha - that's perfect. I had to play with it manually a bit, but it was clear enough to decode:

Decodes to: 1209532894

That was an A-140? Is it relatively old?

 

[bobhaha]

A-140, yep... I harvested it the 10 - MAR - 2012... not sure how old the diode is though.

EDIT: here's another one... It was REALLY blobby... This is the best shot thus far

For anyone who can SEE the diode code (via magnifying glass, etc) but can't take a picture, here's a quick way to get the data to the forum:

DiodeCode.xls - Speedy Share - upload your files here

It's an excel file. When you put a "y" in the appropriate location, it turns each square black.

Either re-upload a filled out Excel file, or even just take a screenshot of the completely square itself (the excel worksheet itself will work as a scannable code).

If you've got another 11, and you know the series diode they are, then please, be my guest

It make take me a while to crunch through 11 of them, but I'll get it done

 

[bobhaha]

I'm desoldering the PCB off them and taking pics as I go.... So I'll keep updating this post with the rest of them...

I'm expecting a H series diode sometime this week or next week I'll try and get the best picture I can and post it

Re-ordered to group like serials:

Bob, so far:

#3: 1108615422
#4: 1108614727 (XLS required some fixes)
#5: 1108615399

Are these from the same source as that one you posted a bit early?

Yup all are from the same projector. Sorry about the errors.. That's why two sets of eyes are better than one

That's strange, because the first diode is deviating very clearly from 3 through 6. It appears that these are clearly incrementing serial numbers.

 

[bobhaha]

Hmm that's strange... Have you done #2? How does that compare?

 

[rhd]

Have added #1 and #2 into my post:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f42/collecting-445-diode-qrcodes-serials-72446.html#post1043510

It would be really interesting if you binned these diodes too.

Especially since there's clearly two strings of serials coming out of one projector.

 

[bobhaha]

How should I bin them? I have them assorted so I know which diode corresponds to with serial number... now what?

 

[rhd]

It would be interesting to know which batch of serials was generally more efficient.

I've got a few more of your serials to tackle this morning. I'll get to that right now.

 

[rhd]

Interesting results from BobHaha. It's clear that the same array used at least 3 distinct diode batches:

#01: 1209532894
#11: 1209532911 (lower confidence scan)

#07: 1209777872 (lower confidence scan)
#02: 1209777873
#08: 1209777896
#09: 1209777902
#10: 1209777932

#12: 1108614717
#04: 1108614727
#05: 1108615399
#03: 1108615422
#06: 1108615562

m-140 from DTR, I can't decode it:

And macro of inside of diode, just because it's cool
