Hey i m back Yes , your right Cyparagon in the the two scenarios and i dont know . I have recieved my Oscilloscope , current clamp , 0.1 ohm 1% 3W resistor and some diodes an other things , but i have not received the dc-dc driver . Diodes are : M140 (G2 lens) , BDR09 ( The one that was in...

Ok so i might be able to see it or not , but i can't verify now because i dont have recieved everything. What will happend if i use a 6.3v 3300uf(or more) capacitor after the load ? Will it smooth a bit ?

Hey , i just want to check the input current for a brief moment , i dont need a ultra precise measurement. Just on/off for 2 s.

I have found a 3w 0.1ohm 1% resistor .

If i have a 1ohm +-5% or 10% i will still be able to see the current spike (on the dso) if there is one , and i can check the current precisely via my multimeter?

Is that what you where talking about : 1ohm 100w resitor Here Edit : I tested on a 12v led strip : Normal way : 58ma Resistor way (used a potentiometer set to 1ohm) : 54mv = 54ma Hey , it works ,thx. I will do this on my DSO138 oscilloscope (it only cost 15€ :) , simple and its...

He posted this , but i want to know how he got this , i know that its an oscilloscope but its a current clamp plugged in or else ?

Cyparagon What did you used to measure the current on your 2013 post ?

I bought an oscilloscope because i didn't have one , and i will see what the current clamp will do , there is a lot on tutorial on Youtube to use an oscilloscope . The cheapest oclaro i have found is 15€ , and the cheapest Mitsubisi i have found is 20.5€ I will do some experiment to learn c:

Already bought my Oclaro 2 days ago :c , and the Mitsubishi ML501P73 cost 4€ more than a Oclaro HL63193MG (21€ vs 17€) I think i m still going to buy it xD(because 1.1w OwO) And i also bought a "16X BDR-209 405nm" 900mw diode for only 20€.

I going to do this with a red oclaro 700mw diode ( cost only 15€) :) and the Thor driver is dead. Edit : My plan is to make the cheapest portable ( not really handheld) 2w blue laser .

I'm not going to directly test the input current on the diode , instead i will use this ( which i already have ) or resistors . I want a soft-start for milliseconds , just to remove current spikes , i dont really care if it visible or not . I will recieve my oscilloscope and a current clamp in 2...

Thanks for all of you responses , i bought a simple oscilloscope and a current clamp , i will test this driver to see if there is any current spike or anything else , i know i could just buy a x-drive for 38€ and VOILA (the problem is not the money here) , but i wanted to make the cheapest...

Hi , i'm new on this forum , this is my first post , so let's begin (sorry for my bad english .. i'm french ) : Recently i bought a laser on Ebay , the "Thor M2"(1.3w) it was pretty cool when its was working :cry: .... After about 2 hours of total usage , the lens just melted and made some...
