I just got one from motel268 that I ordered about a week ago. Works great, and according to my Laserbee it's putting out 28mW!

I can't believe you were looking right at the beam dot on the LPM sensor without safety glasses!

I received mine, haven't had a chance to play with it yet though. Soon hopefully!

I think might mine be here tomorrow.... I really can't wait! Waiting on a copper AixiZ module and I'll be good to go...

Hey newblazerdude, I'm also in San Diego. Clairemont, specifically. I can definitely think of some uses for a machine shop :)

I know I could build something that would work, but honestly I have nowhere near enough time to even work with my lasers in the first place... the amount of enjoyment I'd get out of building something like this is nowhere near the fun I'd have actually working with the lasers. Sometimes I enjoy...

Just ordered the laserbee optical LPM. I'll let you guys know how it works, and I'm sure I'll have more questions about mirror adjustment :)

From looking at laserbee's web site, none of their LPMs are good for <5 mW, except for one that goes to 3 mW, but even that's cutting it close for this application.

I'm in the process of trying to align the mirrors on a Siemens HeNe (this one). It's my first time, and I've read a lot of Sam's Laser FAQ, but, well, it's still my first time. Anyway, one bit of help I could really use is a recommendation for a good LPM for this purpose. The one I have now is...

I've managed to sign on. Thanks!

Things: Yeah, it seems to automatically add a new G-line every time I connect from anywhere, so while I appreciate you submitting a request to remove the existing G-lines, it seems unlikely that such a request will prevent new G-lines from being automatically added due to "bot detected"....

I've tried multiple nicks and multiple source IP addresses on multiple servers :-( From my point of view, anyone new who connects to your IRC network is immediately G-lined, but that can't possibly be the truth. However, I can't find any way to get on at all. How do I submit this request you...

Things: I very much appreciate your effort. i'd love to chat with some other people on IRC about lasers. This is really the only network that seems to do it. So I hope you figure it out :)

Oi. It's a bit tough from my position too. I've been using IRC since 1994. I've been an oper on a couple of different networks, including efnet and openprojects(freenode). Imagine my surprise when some automated tool accuses me of being a bot. If your tools are assuming someone connecting from...

Any update on this? It still thinks I'm a bot... no matter where I connect from... how the heck do you people even sign on?
