It's a good question.......me as a laser user looking buy another LPM, if I buy a Laserbee can I use 3rd party software (not firmware) without voiding the warrantee?

Hi Arg, I just ordered the PCB- thanks. Great job BTW :beer: ATB MM

Re: Peregrine - The Free LPM Interface He's about as far away to supporting this as anyone could get ! Aftermarket items generally have to follow the OEM's changes anyway, and because these are open source, there is usually a fast response to any new versions to maintain compatability, so the...

Re: Peregrine - The Free LPM Interface Wanburn, i don't get it either :thinking: ... as a potential customer of a 'product', what do I want to see? a) Good product or service. b) Good value c) Availability of aftermarket parts and addons. d) Constructive support from the OEM. I can only see...

Hi Arg, A very professional looking unit. :bowdown:

Very small compared to what? a spade:na: Dump the burner, get an adjustable temp soldering iron :beer:

Now that gave me the best chuckle of the day:beer: Why not sell the wood burner on ebay and use the funds to get a proper iron. The size of the tip on the burner, you could use it as a spade to dig your garden:yh: Re: solder, get some thin 0.5mm solder. Solder paste comes in useful too for...

You can see 808nm at at night....the black 808nm photons cause a sort of black shadow, so the background light is absorbed. With a 808nm beam you actually see the shadow of the beam. This is exactly the opposite way a torch beam works, the white light photons let through the photons from the...

It's an industry standard VMC. 800mm X and 610 Y travel, 24 stn tool changer, 4th axis, Fanuc controls etc etc. ATB MM

Not sure what you mean by tabs ? ....Tap for making th threads, the smallest is M2 and these are standard, you can buy them from just about anywher inc ebay. Thanks DNMEBOY, There are some photos on page 8 showing the laser in operation, the LCD and the angle mode video, post #193....oh and...

Re: 5W ophir 20C laser power meter by Offroad I love those switches, but for full effect you need to make sure you get lots of arcing an copper splash - proper frankenstein like, (and make a whohahahaarrr sound as you throw the switch) :) Serious note, could the 3 "supplies" be switched with...

Re: Build: Tri-Diode laser Est. 5.6W Looks like its going to be amazing, can't wait to see the powah of that beam. Also to think it wasn't long ago, to get 5W+ you'd need a 3ph supply at 308v large frame Argon laser and a crane to lift it.... Star trek science fiction becomes science fact -...

Hi ntrail, I use this one High Current LM358 Laser Diode Driver (405nm / 445nm / 635nm / 650nm / IR Diodes) - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop To add a TTL control, it just needs a transistor adding from one side of the voltage ref to ground and the soft start cap reducing in...

Spot on Eud, It's machined out of a small billet. Roughed using a 10mm end mill with 1mm corner rad. Then a 6mm ball nose and finished with a 2.0mm ball nose. It's just a cover that hides the mirror mount screws, TBH it would be much easier to have the key sw on the back end and that would...

Re: ARGLPM Open Source - Coming Soon My sincere apologise if that was misunderstood - the comment was suggesting a 4.0w or 3.5w rating would be enough for me - I certainly don't want a conflict. ATB MM

Re: ARGLPM Open Source - Coming Soon Enough :D

Re: ARGLPM Open Source - Coming Soon Corr, this thread is like watching a very good TV film with too many commercial breaks :D

I'll look into a full set of machanical parts + programmed PCB & LCD, dichros, drivers and mirrors, key switch etc. (excluding diodes and lens) ATB MM

Hi T, The PWM frequency of 1 of the channels is 1/2 that of the other two - I fixed that in the software now, but havent uploaded the newer version - few more things to do first. The effect could also be due to the speed the laser is moving? I'm looking at making some more - I do have 3 or 4...

1st baloon pop and you saw it first on Laser Pointer Forums:beer: (Wife wasn't impressed :evil: - should have given a her a warning:crackup:)
