my PHR dummy load..

[matrixcs]

I would just like to share my own dummy load that i created. it works fine!

instead of buying a complete build from rckstr and others, i decided to make my own simply because it saves more time to make your own dummy load than buying.. (it is because im in the Philippines)

what i did.. bought my own diodes and 1 ohn 1/2 or 1 watt resistor.. and a pcb.. did the job..

here is the picture of it..

The Parts...

the Front side..

the back side...

this is tested on my rckstar driver, o-like 404nm driver, boblaser 405nm driver and my lm 317t driver ..

o-like has a 404nm driver?

thanks bryce.. i got your pm.. well if you can sell it to others its fine with me.. im still waiting for my money hehehe

I pm'd back, but then saw this post. I wasn't trying to say I was in a hurry to sell, I was just asking if you'd rather have it complete, or just the host and driver setup?

Here's a crude mspaint drawing of my test load... I simply spliced it into a spare multimeter probe and put heatshrink tubing over it.

That actually looks pretty good.

This helps. But on the bottom, I can't see how its all linked. Have a better shot?

Thanks

actually it is in series so its easy to make...

hehehhe

check on the diagram i gave you on your thread,,

 

[tommii89]

I'm going to go tomorrow to my local jaycar and buy each part and attempt to build it lol ;]

Cheers guys, I'll get back to you's if I'm stuck.

If i only have 1/4 Watt resistors, how many do I use???

Tom

 

[matrixcs]

hmmm 1/4 watt... you must get at least for me get 1 watt...

 

[tommii89]

Thought so, nevermind - Ordered the right parts off a site and also ordered a test load from modwerx -


Tom

 

[matrixcs]

lol i guess the test load from MODWERX is the best, but yeah if you want to build your own... its ok too.

Cheers, I will end up building my own just to learn

Did you see the free 1ohm resistors from Laserbee?
