is there a preferred host for the o-like modules? i'm thinking about buying one of these modules but I'm stumped on what to put it in

well, i was double checking my parts today, going over vendor datasheets, and found i was way off on the regulator capacitors, the 3.6V needs 10uF not 1000uF, I've never worked regulators on this level before so can someone help me with making sure that the 1000uF are appropriate for the 7805...

yea, they're the 12V rated ones from radiocrap that are panel ready, for car or any other 12V use, I had them laying around so why not use them ;)

Updated schematic, fixed LED and finally found a regulator for the green module. the LED at 12V rated so I dont need any extra resistors ;D

yea, i thought about that today, putting the LED in parallel instead of series, good catch though, also found that the 4V regulator I was going to use for the knockdown on the green module won't work its limited to 100mA output, and the module is <400, grrr, back to searching on digikey for a...

no comment on schematics? i'd love some constructive input

shit, i forgot about that, thanks for reminding me, would have been a big wast of 200 bucks when i blew it out. As promised here is the schematic.

my skills with visio are lacking, so I will try my best with paint as soon as I get home. each laser will be on its own push switch but with a 2 step power switcy, once i draw it up, we'll all be on teh same page, I'm also starting to consider running 4 of the 3.6V batteries and just putting a...

no, i'm a retard, i need to use a relay on the power switch, connect the red LED to the NO position and the green/V+ to the NC position, and of course the keyed switch is the common

exacly, at 12 a pc, its fine and i can fine tune each one as I go, right now i'm trying to draw up some schematics for a on/off switch with indicators but can't for the life of me remember how to make a like cut off when power is still applied, i know its a resistor, but i dont remember where...

no, individual beams, selected by a switch, and i'm in luck I found some 5V fans that will work, so i'm good at 10.8V again

somewhat portable, we're going to use a small or medium size project box from radiocrap

yes, sorry I didnt explain better, each diode will have its own driver and teh output driver would be selected by a switch on the main housing BATT-->master switch, turns fan on--->key switch---> 3 position switch with each position to a driver and diode. red tuned to 380mA, green...

damn, i like this board already, fast, intelligent, and helpful replies. I plan on average to run at 15minutes or less, and luckily was planning on adding 1 or 2 40mm fans to the case anyways, good to know that 1 may be all i need, i thought about using a peltier but i decided against it as I...
