Thanks for the kind words,I work at the school in Kerens.Nice to hear someone knows where Kerens is not to mention the county.I was given a lot of DVD burners at school so now I can brush up on my soldering...anyway thanks

I've read quite a lot,like to tinker with electronics and soldering,have a few builds with homemade drivers and managed to get six 5.6 red diodes from 23 DVD burners in the last couple of months.My question is a ml101u29 diode different than what I've harvested.If you have 2 pins on top and the...

My apologies irishluck and ultimatekaiser for my misinformation...I will go read some more.

You don't need to use pin 1

You might want to ask someone more knowledgable but what I understand is you only need 2 of the three pins..one's positive one's negative and the other is a photodiode that limits the current output..but I'm still new to this so someone else chime in please

pin 3 is pos. and 2 is neg.I believe pin 1 is the photo diode

Haven't been on in a while life kind of takes over sometimes but LASERs have been at the forefront.This is my builds and what I've acquired to date.In the top of the case the pens are RGB 5mW,the larger ones on the bottom are a cree flashlight host(my first build)100mW red,a ebay green with star...

Re: Bata's almost complete cleanout sale!!* NEW PRICES* Day late and a dollar short..glad you got rid of the red,maybe next time

Well put and ditto

Re: Bata's almost complete cleanout sale!! PRICEDROPS Is the 267mW red 40 or 45? thanks

Hello all been away from the forum for awhile,life and other hobbies took over.So now I'm back to building I was looking for something out of the norm or steampunkish maybe so here is my latest project a 200mW(no LPM),3 element glass lens,405nm dubbed LASERvane.It was repurposed from a...

"Liked" and thanks!-Cliff

Very nice review Belch85.I really like the green and blue side by side shot.I also am into RC and have a quad and heli..was thinking the same thing with the 532nm for night flying

I'm thinking you should have it today.

One of my other hobbies (I have several) is model rocketry and I name all of my scratch builds,I have 19.Here's a few..Vesuvius,Twilight zone,Bumble bee and Red matter.Seems like they all could be used for LASER names.....that's all I'm giving away for free :)
