Re: DTR's Laser Shop

Hello, I was wondering if the diode/driver combo for the Sipik host requires an additional capacitor, for voltage spikes. It is available to have 5 modes correct?

Thanks,

It does not require one and it can be set up with 5 mode operation.:beer:

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

Ok. Thanks. What are the modes? Although the additional capacitor is not necessary, would you recommend it?

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

It is high/med/low/strobe/SOS

Well I have not added one to any as of yet and have not lost a diode. But if you look through the thread I think I do remember someone was adding caps to it.:beer:

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

Rhd was the one adding the caps across the diode pins. :beer:

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

And if you want a soft start put a really big cap across the LD, like a .47 farad

Super capacitor? An ordinary capacitor with .47 farads of capacitance would be bigger than the laser!

Shipped 30 minutes after ordering? YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING, MAN!! :bowdown:

Well I printed the label and put it in the big blue USPS mail box but since it is after 1pm here and it will not start moving till Monday.

I am lucky I have this sitting about 30 feet outside my office.

If you get your order in about 20 minutes before the last pick up time listed below CST 90% of the time it will get collected that day.

You know, It's 21:46 here now, so it was kinda amazing for me. Our post has the boxes orange, and nowhere as large, thanks for the photo.

The man doesn't sleep. Too busy building 2.W lasers with hes left and packing them up with he's right. And consistent about it.

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

What is the required minimum voltage for the driver that is pre-attached to the diode?

Thanks,

I am not sure the minimum voltage is to run but I normally set them up to give around 1.4A @ 4.2V. If you are planning on using something different let me know and I will adjust it if possible.:beer:

Re: DTR's Laser Shop

Awesome. I was just wondering if I could run it off a single 18650 or 26650. I think ill be getting one of these soon. Ill keep you updated.

Thanks,

No problem. I am not sure if I will be able to continue to carry the NJG's. I have 6 on hand and 5 on the way.
