Pocket Laser show

[andy_con]

now what can be done with a pocket laser show?

what an awesome bit of kit! might stick a 200mw red in there

nice pics, can u show it in action please

 

[andy_con]

its just a normal spirograph.

sadly the power going to the laser is only 30ma, which means i need a whole new switch for the new laser.

 

[nikokapo]

ohh...change it with a nice bluray or a powerful greenie

 

[andy_con]

100mw 405nm

??? then i could raffle it

 

[natabata]

where'd you get it from and how much was it?

 

[andy_con]

ebay £9

Thats got me interested haha.

 

[andy_con]

the only one thing is i need one of those small blu-ray boast drivers from errr rksc or what ever his name is.

the blu-ray driver i have is way to big

a 5mw spyro is pretty poo when your used to a big scanner.

think im gona have to change to it to a 150mw red dont have enough for a 100mw 405nm

Scopeguy20 sent me one of these several months ago. I ripped out the 3 mW and put in a new diode turned up to 55 mW. Now you can see it !!

I bought a second one from Spencer gifts on sale and put it in front of my ArIon.
I also remoted the controls so I can sit back and play.

Here's both running... 55 mW 660 nM and 30 mW of 488 nM.

im going for a 150mw red, should fit nicely in there

 

[nikokapo]

wow cool.

go for it


i'd really like to make a scanner but i think it is too complicated for me right now...

 

[andy_con]

i have 200mw diodes but i wana save them so will stick with 150mw.

Andy --

I used the small Aixiz module for mine.  The module in there is a POS for anything over 5 mW.  Then a series pot to limit the current.  I kept it at 55 mW because there's only 3 aaa cells for power. :-?
Plug it in and let it rip !!
