Re: I have my diode, now where do I plug in teh ba
I found this dial inside an old stereo, on it is marked 931n 10k(ohm)3bx2. Is this a rheostat between 0 and 1000 ohms? It has six pins...what are they all for?
Re: I have my diode, now where do I plug in teh ba
I went ahead and ordered the dorcy, current limiter, and aixiz module. I am still very much on the fence about the capacitor but it sounds like it has worked for everyone else! I don't have a multimeter. I suppose i should get one. Are they all...
Re: I have my diode, now where do I plug in teh ba
Death angel, thanks for telling me what current is safe, I was worrying about how to find that out without blowing out one of my diodes.
If I know my voltage (measured with multimeter) and I know my resistance, I think I can estimate my...
Thanks for the link, gazoo. Is there any value at all in the infra red diode? Is it likely to be as powerful as the red but simply invisible? I suppose that wouldn't be as much fun. I'm curious though.
I just extracted my 16X burner diodes...
Can I just plug in a couple AA, some resistors, and a coil of wire around an oatmeal box to protect from spikes? I keep reading things about capacitors in parallel to keep the power from spiking. This makes no sense to me! What does this have over a...
thanks everyone!
LarryQ, I have two sony 16X dual layer! Does the dual layer mean an even more powerful diode or is that more based on the speed. Is there a way to look up what sort of diode a particular model of burner uses?
I come for your knowledge of lasers and burning! I mean, hi...I'm new
It looks like there are a lot of good guides on building burning lasers here. I have a bunch of broken dvd burners, so maybe I can make them do something cool.
