hey thats a neat idea with the coin. we got nothing that fancy here in Australia tho unless you want to break a coin collection or the bank to get one. yeh i got Dave to build this module and ship it over, i kept popping diodes when soldering them and was doing my head in at around $100 a piece...

Yeh its all finished @ 1.5A. had a tiny heatsinc i cut down so the flex has a heatsinc on both sides of it, removed the screw on part of the aixiz housing so the driver is bare with the sincs either side of the board wedged in the MXDL's custom sinc. fits nicely and solved the flickering issue...

No experiment is ever reckless ;) it would be good for something like an array of diodes though.

cool, will do that...once it gets here :(

well there you go, as i said there will no doubt be something out there that will go higher, and i wasnt too sure on that flex mod. thanks for clearing that up though. 5A is pretty insane, it might last a few seconds maybe? and probably burn a hole through the centre of the earth :D

according to the flex drive V5 .PDF data sheet i have, no. Input Voltage 2.0-5.5 V Output Voltage 2.0-5.5 V Output Current 0.065-1.5 A Conversion Efficiency 80-95 % Regulation Ripple (4-100kHz) < 1% % as u can see, 5.5v @ 1.5A is its hardware's maximum output capabilities. not sure about other...

hmmm how many grains of rice do u get in a packet? lol. i think it mainly matters about the diodes maximum input, then u must take into factor heat dissipation, battery current draw ect. of course if you run ANYTHING at its maximum 24/7 expect reduced life span, that goes especially for the...

yeh maybe an unfocused 808nm diode, but i imagine it will only work against digital cameras. are you being harassed by cameras? lol

lol im not sure what a 1 pound coin looks like, it sounds heavy. im in Australia, so we have 5,10,20 and 50cent coins (which i think are some sort of tin i assume?), and 1,2 dollar coins (which i think the $1 coin here would be better, its got a larger surface area and i think is made of brass...

hey thanks for that bit of info, i checked out DTR's thread on that $1 heat sinc, looks like a good idea. but as im using an Aixiz module, i wonder if i can mount something on it to fit in the module still? hmmm. the flex still hasnt arrived, hopefully next week it should be here....eagerly...

damn that will be insane. yeh thats what im waiting for is the flex drive V5, so i will be deciding how hard to push it. i would also look for a copper heat sinc, i couldnt get one, but running that high will need to be cool and short power on cycles, unless you dont mind buying diodes on a...

lol if i had un focused the laser it would have been fine. but its just the lens cover that is burnt not the actual cmos sensor.

Hey thanks, lmao yeh, i should have un-focused it, i was thinking, yeh im gonna get a cool shot of the beam going into the lens, that usually looks cool. DOH! worst thing was, is it is my 3 week old Nokia n900. lol well i hardly use the camera anyways.:whistle: nothing a bit of photoshop cant...

Hey everyone, thought i would share some pics of my first host build, very proud of it. At the moment, i am waiting for a micro flex drive to arrive so i can run my 18650 in it (i forgot about the voltage requirements for the rkcstr driver :o). but since i am installing the flex driver, does any...
