    Well I would order from here http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_BoostDrive.php But last time i ordered from there it took forever and he didn't reply all too well. :thinking:

    Red laser build question

    I may just buy a flexdrive... Is his shipping times still long? Or is there an alternative to a flexdrive?

    Red laser build question

    I've been looking at drivers.. and I could go with a fixed linear... But I don't understand what allows it to require one cell or more? I've been looking at mohgasm's linear drivers and the x-drives at cajunlasers. They say they require two or more batteries, but i'd like to use a 16340. I'd...

    Red laser build question

    Oh I see, I wasn't home to look at it. I was going to buy those drivers until it said Visa isn't available.. Which it's on their page in two places and the checkout page. Where should i get a focus adapter? I know Flaminpyro does custom stuff but I'm trying to budget build. Cajun doesn't have one.

    Red laser build question

    I knew I had to adjust the current. Are you saying I'd have to focus it fixed then everytime I want to refocus ill need to take the top off?

    Red laser build question

    I plan on finishing my FIRST laser build after two years of going to school and I bought a b50 powerlight host from cajun lasers. Which is the same as this thread http://laserpointerforums.com/f50/b50-powerlight-660nm-build-69960.html My main question is how I would focus the laser. I saw he...

    Help Identifying Laser Sled

    Did the sled come with a silver panel with qr codes on it? If so, there are numbers that the qr code represents. You can try looking those up before someone smart replies.

    2nd Red laser

    The groove driver is set to the low power mode which is limited to like... <250ma. Well when i tested with the dummy it came out to 468 or so, and climbed to 501, maybe someone can explain why im an idiot somewhere. The diodes get hot to the touch. Im probably missing something or my driver is...

    First Laser. VERY IMPRESSED

    2nd Red laser

    Time to do this right. I now have a multimeter and within the next few days I'm going to go to radioshack and pickup some pieces for a dummy load. I'm going off of this tutorial.

    First Laser. VERY IMPRESSED

    i dont think my driver worked in the first place... when i turned the POT it never got darker or lighter. When i hooked the multimeter to the diode and driver (when it was dead and still illuminating) no matter where the POT was, it still pulled the full 200ma current. how do you test a driver?

    First Laser. VERY IMPRESSED

    Im going to line up two lithium 3.7v batteries here soon. I dont have a test load though. Im unsure where to get one or even make one. I looked a while ago when I was buying the driver, no luck.

    First Laser. VERY IMPRESSED

    Im running it off of 3AA batteries. When i turn the pot i see no difference. But it does burn. Do i need more voltage to see the differnce?

    First Laser. VERY IMPRESSED

    I got it from a Sled https://www.dropbox.com/s/r71sem34qvrjyy6/1.JPG No one knew what it was. and it was about two years ago i removed the sled from the bay. So all i had was the sled. This is what it is but i couldnt find any diode specs. Diode search
