Thanks for the responses! The rkcstr microdrives have arrived - just waiting for aixiz module and a host now. Basically going to practise building using the cheap and crap diode at, say, 50mA. Don't want to make mistakes with better diodes! Starting small and simple and working up...

right, following up to my own thread (again - sorry) I searched the forums for BDP4 and found this: http://laserpointerforums.com/f38/8x-sleds-available-possibly-20046.html Which basically says it's some as-yet-unnamed diode, roughly 4x or 6x (for reading?) which puts out maybe 150mW at...

I just thought that maybe you want pictures of the sled rather than the diode! The sled PCB has BDP4-Rev2.2 2008.04.24 written on it and looks like this on the underside: Hope this helps!

Yes, pictures would be a good idea! This is the front of the 3-pin blu ray diode: This is the back of the blu ray diode: The middle pin appears to connected to the chassis. Just to confuse matters, this is what the front of the 4-pin IR/red diode looks like, which is very similar: There...

Hello, I'm just starting out but I've harvested two diodes from the sled of a Samsung BD-P1500 blu ray player. I know the lasers work as I had the cover off and saw the lasers fire up when the tray loaded - albeit from an oblique angle! There doesn't seem to be any markings on the blu ray...

Hi! I'm just starting out building lasers having owned and modified a few over the years. I'm hoping to build a blu ray laser using a Sure module so I can focus to infinity, unlike the Aixiz module. (Before I do that I'm going to build some much lower power cheaper ones though!) Do you still...
