Re: ***  BluRays again  ***

WahHK,
Some of us are using an LM7805. This is a common 5 volt regulator found everywhere, and you can use a 9 volt battery with it. The only other two components you will need are a trim pot and a capacitor. The trim pot can have a rating of 25 to 100ohms. I am using 50ohms.

The first thing you want to do after you have the diode mounted in a module is to solder a 10uf 16 volt capacitor across it. Then wire the trimpot in series between the diode and the output of the regulator. Make sure the trimpot is turned to the highest resistance by using an ohm meter. Then apply power and adjust the trim pot for 35-40ma's. Here is a pic of the circuit compliments of rog8811..

Gazoo, I like the 405nm arrows in that schematic!

Just wanted to let everyone know that this GB is 40% done so far

If you want in... you gotta get in quick

Thanx;

Dear xarylx and Gazoo,

Thank you for your information!
I have decided to buy the laser diode only and make the power supply myself.
;D ;D

Wah!

Hey Wah,

Not sure if you're aware of this or not yet, but check out this thread if you need further assistance with making your own LD driver

Hey, here's an alternative to a DDL's GB blu-ray upgrade (and _only_ $4000 :-? ;D):

Re: ***  BluRays again  ***

Really hoping to sell at $4000 with 3 feedback and these being available for less than $200 here? ;D

Nice link vizp

Re: ***  BluRays again  ***

Im game for one with Level 1 upgrades and the extra stuff.
Im assuming you test them before shipping (the ones you upgrade of course).

Sure do

I hook it up make sure it's working and then solder the ends together to protect it from static shock, bag it up, box it up and then ship it out

Re: ***  BluRays again  ***

should i add a silicon diode in reverse forr prtection?
