Thanks amigo, it's not eloquent but it changes color smoothly and adds a couple neat functions. Really wish I had the schematic for this little analog RGB driver though. Want to miniaturize it and integrate a power supply and an esp.

I was going to add this as a response to an older post ()but didn't want to revive a dead thread. In working on a different project involving WS2812 LEDs, I learned of the WLED project. WLED is a lightweight network enabled LED controller designed to run on ubiquitous and inexpensive ESP32 and...

I only unwrapped one to check, but it didn't appear to be coated. I doubt the others will be any different. I need to do a little research and see if I can determine what they're supposed to be based on the shape of each side.

I didn't even realize I made that typo, but yeah it would have been a nubm03 I think or nubm04. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looking for some suggestions either for inexpensive off the shelf options, or recommendations if I go the diy route. One of the guys I work with, gave me a small collection of sample lenses that were sent to us by various vendors. He suggested one or more of them may help me get a tighter beam...

Right on, thanks for the details.

Hey all, been a while since I posted. The last few years have been a roller coaster to say the least. My interests have shifted focus (pun intended) from lasers to CNC, Microscopy, drones, fractal artwork, robotics, and parenthood. Yet once again, here I am, grateful for this wonderful esoteric...

65807 Can't help but chuckle at the irony. After years of joking about being "probably on a list for...", here I am putting myself onto one willingly. Cheers!

Welcome Nick, glad to have ya

Ahh, small world lol

This reminds me of something I saw recently posted by an acquaintance (initials CRS) who some work I'm particularly fond of with 405nm and glow in the dark screens. Any connection?

Most recently, a friend gave me a pretty awesome gift. For a number of years, he ran a sound/lighting business in and around the town where we live. Circumstances necessitated selling off most of the equipment and finding another line of work. Of that equipment, he had a few 3W RGB scanners, one...

Hey thanks , I appreciate it. Ordering components to put together a few more soon, but haven't decided on which diodes I want to use yet

Right on, did you post a build thread? I'd enjoy checking it out. Also I realize I'll probably take some flack for commenting on a thread that's this old, but I wanted to share an update on this build that I thought was pretty cool. So my last post was back after I got married. We were about...

Hey man, sorry I hadn't replied yet. It's been hectic since getting married recently and I'm just now circling back to lpf again now that I have some free time again. To be honest, the perceived difference between 510 and 525 isnt huge in my opinion, but a lot more pronounced than 532 to 525...
