New here. Are these compatible?

[Fierce Waffle]

I bought this driver from Aixiz : 1W 445nm blue laser diode driver / 405nm laser driver, AixiZ

And this laser diode : HighTechDealZ - 445nm 1W (1000mW) Blue Brand New Laser Diode in Aixiz Module

I was wondering if they would be compatible. I also bought this heat sink Cooling Heatsink/ Heat Sink for 12mm Laser Diode Module | eBay

Looks ok do you know if its an M140, A130 or A140 diode?

Should all be compatible, but you could have bought a better driver for less on this site. Do you have a host yet?

Have fun with your build. :beer:

Edit: Just noticed aixiz says its a 300mW - 1 W driver, but in the description it says its fed with 1.1 A? You should check that the current is actually set at 1.1 A and that there isnt a pot to adjust. I cant see a pot in the picture and its not mentioned, but If there is youll need a test load to set the current.

host as in like a flashlight case?
I am planning on putting the driver and batteriesinto a project box. thatll mount on the back of my hand. The laser and heat sink will be on the front of my hand. Like that?

Yup thats what I meant, but if youre using a box....all good. Sounds interesting, a bit like Iron man, but you know that youll need safety glasses and you cant use it where the beam might hit people in the eyes...?

1W will blind instantly..

I've spent most of my...."funds". Will these work Amazon.com: Bynovel Laser Eye Protection Safety Glasses Goggles Goggle Glass Shield for Green Blue Laser Pointer: Home Improvement

the reviews say they do for this spectrum. And yah, Im going for the iron mand repulser effect.

I cannot say about those glasses, but if you want a pair that have been tested on LPF try these: http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/cheap-safety-glasses-tested-71621.html

Please note these are not certified goggles! I would recommend at least eagle pair from survival lasers. These are more expensive, but your eyesight is considerably more important. :beer:

Can you provide a link to the better driver you mentioned?

 

[grainde]

You should use the search function. Many people sell drivers here.....

Anyway try Blord he has some Moh linears at max 1.25 A. You have to tell him what current output you need and he can set it at the right current: $6 Moh drivers

Having said all that if you already have the aixiz driver just use that and invest the rest of your funds in a pair of goggles....
