I tried to order some of those diodes to play with but the website kept timing out on me. I have one of DTR 16x diodes. Anyone have an image or can tell me which are positive and negative? I keep getting conflicting information from google.

Well I received the diode but it looks like it's smaller than the older bluray diode I tried to use 6 years ago. Not sure how I will mount this now. Tested the driver, works fine running on old LED i have around so nothing wrong there. I will see if I can get a smaller heatsink made perhaps.

Unfortunately the driver is a flex v5 that I bought about 6 years ago from Jayrob. I'm guessing to be safe I should really only drive it at 200ma unless people have done testing otherwise. Thumbs up on taking bitcoin by the way :D

Just a quick update and question. I bought the 16x and confirmed that the driver I have is the flex v5. With the v5 it looks to support up to 5.5v. According to this chart here the max I could run the diode at and keeping with 5.5v of the flexdrive is about 200ma. Am I correct in the way I...

Thanks for the help. Being out of the loop here for 6 years left me with quite a gap of what to buy and where to get it. I may look into other wavelengths as he has quite a selection on his site! Many thanks :)

200-350ma I'm set at 190ma now but I think this driver should go higher. I feel like it was some version of the flex boost/buck that seems to still be popular. I started the build for this back in 2009. I don't think my pocket mini could really handle much more power than 300ma. It does have...

Hey all, I bought a pocket mini build many years ago now and a diode to go with it. Unfortunately it turned out that the diodes people thought they were getting were incorrect and couldn't handle the 190ma i had the driver set for. After waiting months to get that build and then having it die...

Everything received in good order :) One question though, can touching the diode with a lens (such as jayrobs pocket mini setup) cause it to short out and die?

All the 4xxx series cards are getting fairly cheap now with the 5xxx release. For your budget Id reccomend a 4850, there cheap now and will pack a good punch for a while. In the cpu department go for whatever dual core fits your budget. Dont forget ram, unless your moving it over from your old...

Haha, telling an ex radio control guy not to worry about the capacity is like trying to get a pilot to fly without a fuel gauge 0.o Alright so i guess ill grab a couple of those batteries. Know if there the 3.7/4.2 batteries or just the 3v'ers? Would like to reuse my rc lipo/liion charger if...

I recognize this isnt the best place for this post. Perhaps general would be better?

So im in the process of getting all my part together for the pocket mini build im putting together. Im presently looking at batteries, specifically rcr123a however im quite disappointed at the mah these batteries put out. The highest mah batteries i could find come from china and are only...
