obviously mine either :-)) Please don't take this as critic, it is likely my lack of understanding too. This thread is great and i think it should stay as reference, and compilation of info for this driver. I just wish DrLava could chip in. It is a great driver. I like to know more about...

hmm, ok Thanks Jayrob I asked this to DrLava already, but no response yet. DTR wrote: "You need to get a 1.5 K Ohm 1/2 Watt resistor which will be used to bridge the V+ and the M+. The M+ is the modulation input that can be used to adjust the current while in use. We will not be needing...

I will be using two 32600 3.7V batteries resulting in 7.5-8.5V on the input of P3. I happened to have 1.5 K Ohm 1/2W resistors at work. Any idea if using them is fine, or what effect it would be with these batteries versus just jumping M+ and V+ with wire ? thanks

So, is 1.5 K Ohm 1/2 Watt resistor for jumping M+ and V+ as stated in first post final word from DrLava ? Does it not matter if its 1OHM or 1.5KOhm ??!! That's huge difference. How can it not matter. I can't seem to reach him via PM. best regards

9mm-0.5 pitch is thread for Aixiz lens, or the front of aixiz module. To make thread (tap) hole for screwing in Aixiz module you need 11mm-0.5 pitch Tap It can be found for about $8

hello gents, I am also building max power 445nm pen laser (jarob pen host, Flex drive V5) I will be using a single 10440 for only short bursts of no more than 5-8 sec Max ON at the time. Its just for demonstration of technology in slim host. I was wandering if anyone compared these two...

you gus are making me slack at work big time!! :kewlpics: I will likely be ordering another 405 lens from you Jayrob soon, for my ~2W 445nm with D size batteries. I got most of the parts to build, but i'm just not decided on the host. Its shame there aren't more choices in this class of...

oh, kaido... i know them well. Actually they were much better than deal extreme for a good period of time. Than i had some delays, but nothing major. I recommend them as well!! thanks.

Hi, nice laser. I'm working on making similar project in different host that will also require D size Lithium cells. 3.7V aren't easy to find. Your source sold out all the black ones, but they sell these blue version. Any thoughts? Price is much lower than black ones. 32600 3.7V 5000mAh D...

just ordered two. I just love single mode power !!!

thanks. I forgot to check back to this thread, as i saw at work, it wasn't opening right. Looks good, whatever designation we give it :-) Cheers

Hi guys. I'm about to order one or two of these sleds, but i don't see it as a popular diode. Is there any more experience with this sled 405nm diode of performance other than Morgan's input from the graph in sticky thread? I'm curious weather its safe to push them with to 500mA as other 12x...

Thank you. it is very nice, reminds me of alien beam from the bottom of the UFO about to beam something up :-) (or burn a hole in the ground) best regards

pretty, pretty, prettyyyy good :-) I like it !!

:-) extreme air conditions here my friend. Sometimes you need gills here to get some oxygen :-) New York City. from extreme humidity, to major dryness. Sometimes withing 6 hours. And thats just weather. Not to mention smoke polution above the city, and down whatever wind brings from the...

ok, so than what is"actually NO" ? I never spoke about CLEAR AIR! Why would you. How often is your room or outside air even close to that. not trying to fight or anything, but my statement above obviously has to do with practical and very variable experiences with 405nm lasers. its a...

Guys, With 405nm it is very subjective and dependent to type of paricles "stuff" that is floating in the air of wherever you are. You can have 200mW be as visible as 20mW green, which is quite visible. Or you can have 350mW as visible as 5mW green sometimes. Thats what makes 405nm fun. Why you...

thanks guys, good to see ya all. I'm glad i didn't miss anything in Groove 2 manual. It is perfect for pen sized lasers up to 500mA So reds and Violets :-) and "conservative" (ONLY ~350mW !) blue pens :-)) when used with two 3,7V Li-ions !! I wish there was higher capacity 10440 battery...

I don't see anyone using or talking of Groove 2 driver by Dr.Lava. http://www.*****************.com/shop/77-groove-2-driver.html http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Groove_2.php It is linear driver - I think perfect for all our favorite diodes up to 500mA, (405nm, 655nm, 445nm) using two...

ordered two 140s cheers
