Hello guys, I’ve been reading a lot of threads from here before considering joining, so thanks in advance to everyone for all the things that I learned. I’m from Mexico City and I am 17 years old. I’ve always been interested in science, specially physics, so, since I was a kid, I liked doing little experiments with electricity and magnets. Like a year ago I bought one of those cheap keychain lasers that you can find in basically any fair, and one day by accident I found Styropyro’s YouTube channel, and that boosted my interest for lasers, finally, I decided to join the hobby and bought a 532 nm with an output of “>2000 mW” lol I know it’s clearly miss labeled, but it’s still very bright though. I also bought a pair of eye protection glasses that seem to work pretty well.
I would really like to continue on the hobby. So I was thinking about getting some red and blue pointers too, or try to build one myself from a DVD burner, what should I do first? I have some experience with electronics, since I took a long arduino course.
Kind regards to everyone and I hope to learn a lot from here, and at the same time offer my help to others.
I apologize for any gramatical mistake, English is not my native language and I’m still getting used to it.
Cheers!
