I can't test my board because I dont have 4 diodes but I tried hooking up two CR123A batteries and still had basically the same effect. I have a clear dot (in the dark) but as I move closer or farther the dot gets larger and blury. Is there any way I can get more power out of this? By the way...

Hey I have all of my corrections made correctly. As for the batteries. I have 4 CR123As at my house and I can use those but I would I connect the two wires here to four of these batteries? Is there some kind of holder for these batteries that I could use? Thanks for the help because I thought my...

Hey fellas look I'm working on building my first laser and I followed the how to build a laser diode driver video on metacafe. I got everything done and hooked up to my power source and my diode. Bellow is a pic of what I'm lookin at. The diode is in the aiziz module but I'm not sure if its...

Thanks Ill look up rog1188.thanks for the help. ;)

hey I am building my first laser and am wondering how I should attach my diode into the aixiz module. Should I solder the sides of the diode to the edges if the aixiz module? Thanks for the help fellas!

Thats perfect chido thanks for the help you never disappoint me. :)

Hey I'm building the MXDL laser mod and I am working on the circuit board. Does any body have the link to the how to video on how to build it? I used to have it but lost it :(. Thanks for the help fellas!

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module Hey will this work with this flashlight mod > http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1186966870? ;D Is there any chance that I could get it within a week? I live in Louisiana, US. What is the system of payment? Sounds really good! :D

ya maybe they are but I needed the item quickly and now I bought the flashlight it's been over a week and I just got the email saying that they just shipped the item (2-5 day shipping huh/ :-/). I'm starting to wonder if it's gonna get here at all. :(

Hey I'm trying to build the MXDL flashlight laser mod but have run into a few problems. Is there any way that I can fit my square laser diode into the aixiz module so that I can continue on with my project? The diode looks like this Flat_Chip_Diode.jpg and the MXDL mod is here >...

Oh haha how very original. [smiley=thumbdown.gif] If you don't have anything worth my time to post then stay away.

Thanks but I think I'm gonna just give in and buy the 16X diode from stonetek like I should have in the first place :-[. Thanks for all the help and I'm sure I'll be back for more soon.

So basically, what you guys are tellin me is that this diode will not work with this set-up? > http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1186966870? :'(

Hey thanks styropyro I just can't afford to buy another part. I would like to buy one and apreciate the heads up I just can't. If 125 mw is all I can get out of the one I have so be it at this point I kinda just have to work with what I've got.

Thats a bit depressing. I only dished out the extra cash for the 20X burner instead of the 16X because I thought that I would be getting a lot more than 125mw out of it. How is that even possible? Wouldn't I be somewhere around 100mw with the 16X burner? :-/ Also whats qualifies it as a sharp diode?

Hey thanks for the pics. REALLY helpful. The diode that I have extracted looks almost exactly like the one in the first pic IgorT posted. Whats all this talk of heatsink. I know that this is like laser 101 but as I have mentioned in my previous posts, I have never done anywork like this before...

I get what you're saying. That sounds exactly like what I found. It like a strip of black plastic with a tiny diamond looking thing in the center on one side and four little prongs on the other. Just to confirm though can anybody please post some pics of what these diodes look like. Thanks for...

Hey fellas, I just bought a samsung 20X DVD burner. Ya I know samsung bad choice >:( I wont make the same mistake again but anyways, I got the thing apart and extracted two things that I think might be my laser diodes. I'm wondering if somebody can show me in a pic or even link me to some pics...

Hey chido here's a better pic of the silver part inside the black part. From the diodes I've seen I'm thinking that this is the diode too. Can you confirm? Just copy and paste this in word and size it down. All it wants to do is spin. The black part is like a cover that I'm trying to get off but...

For cryin out loud I dont want the picture to be that big. :-/ Sorry folks, I'm tryin to figure out how to size the picture down so that you can see the whole board without scrolling. On second thought, copy and paste this into word and size it down there. I cant figure it out. Sorry for the...
