Mainly just cause its beautiful. Same reason I got a CF sebenza instead of regular Ti. Its not solid CF, just a thin wrap over Al.
I have (no joke) over 20 solarforce P60 lego's I use as test host's for different drivers / FW's, I wanted this one to be instantly recognizable from the rest.
I'd...
Well now that I've had this together a night (built it yesterday) all I can say is wow, this thing is freaking awesome! First off the visible light is more than I thought it would be, it's actually useful and then there's the glow shit gives off, so bright it actually makes its own light! I...
I've only recently registered and started posting but I've actually been reading here for a while and I've taken note of that. Now I love BLF, it'll always be my home but there's only a dedicated handful of us that are doing any PCB design over there and even fewer of us actually coming up with...
Hey guy's, I'm new here. My name's dan. I run Killer Lumens. I specialize in flashlights and handheld lighting devices for first responders and LEO and also in RGB / RGBW lights and a very special device for law enforcement and private security called "pukelight". (Check out my site Puke Light)...
If ebay linking isn't aloud very sorry, just trying to help...
I have used these for the past 6 years or so. Clone of some hakko model I believe. These are really popular around BLF, grounded and pretty percise control. Also the tips last a very long time (I turn mine on at 9am and it stays on...
Remove components and lightly sand the mask away. I do that all the time. Sure it's not usable after but way easier that probing pad's if the driver isn't to expensive.

Like I say this is how I learned tho at this point I've basicly evolved my technique to better fit my needs and am doing very little the same as shown there. One more tip for now- don't remove the bounding box (free version) like he...
I know I'm new here so you all probably just assume I'm talking out my ass but I'm pretty good at eagle (I'm a huge contributor on BLF), and the actual PCB design process in eagle is my single favorite part out of everything I do. It's like art and a puzzle mixed together.
I recommend the BLF...
My name is dan, I'm very new here (just joined) but I run an established LED flashlight company that specializes in RGB lighting.
No lookin to sell you something (don't have anything off the top of my head that would do what you need) but I can definitely help you get something together. Do...
Have you considered a dog? There are many better way's than trying to burn one with a laser (Im an avid squirl Hunter, usually go weekly at our property so I've "beefed" with squirls many times lol).
Also have you got yourself a fake predatory bird (owl or hawk, get whatever you have there)...
I've only built one laser this far but my full time job is building flashlights so I've done this a few times. What I've found works best on really large sinks is to heat the whole thing on the stove (we have a solid glass cooktop) then get yourself a nice little puddle of low melting point...
No reason for a huge SOIC / SO-8 package. A 6-pin PIC 10F322 (SOD-23-6 package) and an IRLM2502 FET (3-pin smaller than SOD-23 "micro3") and a pair of 0402 cap's are the only 4 components other than the gyro you'd need, I've fit all the stuff on a 10mm board (including the gyro), you could even...
