Strange halo next to dot

Oh...! That's clever. I'm not a very talented machinist myself (only a few months of experience), so I would have never thought of using a rotary table!

I want to see a pic of the whole laser, nice work!

Thanks for all the help guys. I guess this is just something I'm going to live with. Good to know it's not something I screwed up. I guess I can move on to the next step now. Looking for a single boost driver that can reliably supply 2 amps if needed.

Aren't we all.:undecided:

But based on what you showed us with your first few posts here if you find something you better let us know.


Also you probably already have but just in case remember to put some heatshrink on those diode pins to keep them from shorting.:beer:

I certainly will, but I'm sure you guys will come up with something first. There is absolutely no use for a driver like this other than a pointer, so it would surely be designed by someone on this forum.

Thanks, I did forget. Still in the testing phase, but that's no excuse...

Well, if it helps, I have 2.2A and 4A boost drivers in development. Won't be ready for at least another two months though.
