Hello all,

I lurked for a while when I was completing my home laser show, a belated thank you to all members for your knowledge and insight.

If you'd like to see it, go to gmilburn.ca and look for the "ultimate home laser show" link in the middle of the page (I can't post the link because I don't have 10 posts, if there's anyone with 10 posts who verifies the link and would like to post it please do!)

If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesistate to post.

-Geoff

I know you bet me to it, might aswell delete that post then ::)
 
Yep, definitely used the 35mW DX labby! Nothing but good things to say about it, I managed to fall asleep with the laser show on and woke up 4 hours later and the heatsinks were just slightly warm to the touch.
 
I'm running it off of a regulated 6V AC/DC adapter. It can pump out 500mA at the most, but if the label on my laser (and my multimeter!) is correct, it only drains ~375mA.
 
375mA at 5V ;) it'll be over 400mA at 6V, mines is around 425mA at 6.1V, where did you get your AC/DC adapter ?
 
Can you tell I'm doing an engineering degree in a field that involves zero electrical engineering? :P

I ordered all my electronic parts from Jameco.com, the selection is great, prices are great, the only thing to look out for is UPS screwing you if you try to ship internationally.
 
Cool, I'll take a look at that, I was looking for a similar power source for my laser for the thing I'm building :) thanks.
 
that is pretty cool i like the idea of using the speaker to move the beam around ... i think i will have to copy cat you when i make mine
