I felt like making a light show after only having pointers I wanted something different for a change
I didn't take pics of every step but some important ones,
I chose a nice decent sized box, enough room to heavily heatsink everything, the driver is heatsinked to a HUGE peice of aluminum I got of a fan at a local electronics store for 1$ I used a fan with a mirror glued on & a 650nm laser diode to make a mini light show, I plan on adding one more colour I'm not sure yet, I also ordered a nice glass direction grating to add a nice effect once all the colours have been added.
Here's some pictures:
The whole box
The diode I used, ( its a sample from a supplier & it seems to be an LCC diode, but new ) I am running it at 240mA
Now the effect it gives it's really cool actually
:thanks: for looking
