I noticed that Laser Pointer Forums has started sending out activity summary e-mails as of April 27, 2023. I don't remember signing up for these. I appreciate that there is a link to stop the Activity Summary or (all e-mails).
Could this be made opt-in rather than opt-out?
Almost two years ago, I posted a PCB and details of a boost regulator design using the MP3412 Synchronous Boost White LED Driver by Monolithic Power Systems. I posted it to LPF because I saw the regulation was more ideal in my application than another regulator I had started out with. (see...

I have not built a laser with this driver. I myself am not seeking high power output, hence the conditions I ran my testing under. I'm happy if others want to push the regulator to its limits (they only cost around $7 CAD per regulator). Note that there is no heatsink pad like on the...
Hello! I am an occasional reader of Laser Pointer Forums. I have one more regulator board to contribute that uses the MP3412 (https://www.monolithicpower.com/DesktopModules/DocumentManage/API/Document/GetDocument?id=1389).
The board was made in KICAD, and I've designated it the MP3412 version...
To add to the Benboost, here are two KiCAD boards of a revision that use smaller FETs:
Benboost Mini Version 5.1 (KiCAD)
One board uses the 6WSON package LM3410, and the other board uses the SOT23-5 package LM3410.
Hello! I am an occasional reader of Laser Pointer Forums. I thought I could contribute by helping with some electronics development and testing, as I am using the Benboost Mini version 5.0 for my own projects.
Due to licensing changes with EAGLE (after the acquisition by Autodesk), I've remade...
