I can do that. Give me a couple hours, still at work. What about implementing multi mode capability? any idea if that could work?

Epic Win. Now, hows about a multi-diode 405nm? :D

Hi folks... been awhile since I've been on here. I finally picked up a mini lathe so I can turn my own host and heatsink on it.. I have some ambitious goals here for a somewhat large portable 445nm build. My goals are: 100% duty cycle Water resistant sustain nominal power output of 1W for 5...

ok, I've hit a roadblock in the electrical design. for the Low power mode I'd like to put out around 400mA, however this involves adjusting the 'range' of the flexdrive (see attachment). does anyone know what the amount of current is that flows between the areas connected by the solder 'blob'...

I'm currently designing the host I'm building and I've hit a snag.. does anyone know the thickness of a Flexdrive? I know its 9mmx12mm... but how thick?

I've got most of the dimensions figured out at this point... I'm currently stuck on a rock and a hard place on drivers though. what's the best one out there to run a 445 nm on? I'm thinking either a flexdrive v5 or a micro boost... calling out to those with some experience here

I was actually thinking about a 'labby' style, running off a PC's PSU (AC as the source)... I like portability though.. Another thing I was thinking about is instead of using the potentiometer on the driver, I was thinking of using a 3 way switch to achieve multiple power modes, and if this can...

Howdy folks... I've been here on LPF for awhile, reading here and there... I'm pretty excited about the 445nm diodes (I have had to put away lasers for awhile, after having a midlife crisis). Anyway, I'm not a complete newbie to lasers either, I've built a 405 (started out as a PHR in Dec. of...
