    Seeing things at night. Why can some things be seen out of the corner of your eye?

    The reason for this was way back when humans lived in the wild and had to have a keen eye for predators so we developed good peripheral vision

    Contest... 6mm 650 diodes Part Duce

    Just thought of another idea, using it for a security system. Rig it so when the beam is tripped it would send a message to my phone and from there link to a camera system at the desired location. I remember kipkay on YouTube use an app for sending him a message when he got mail so it would be...

    My first laser

    I have been doing a lot of research but my main concern was how to find an appropriate driver and what kind of power source to use. I only meant to pick the brains of the people who have been doing this for years. I have learned more with this thread than countless hours of research.

    Contest... 6mm 650 diodes Part Duce

    I would use it for a laser light show rig I plan to build. Im going to use red, green and blue lasers, maybe even violet and yellow.

    My first laser

    This post helps a lot I already have a module like that one. That is a powerful, cheap diode. And a very cheap driver. The only thing I need to know now is how to hook up the diode and batteries to the driver and which batteries to use. Since this is my first laser I was hoping someone could...

    My first laser

    I saw someone on YouTube use the back of the aixiZ module to press the diode in so I was thinking I could just do that. I didn't know that I needed a battery contact board with the rectangular driver, it seems weird that you need one for that type of driver and not one for the DIY LM317 type...

    My first laser

    I also want to know if I need a heat sink or not

    My first laser

    I was hoping the driver would fit in an aixiZ module. I'm not too concerned with a host yet. My primary goal is to just make a working laser, so far I have been unsuccessful. But I know I want it battery powered and hand held. My thought process was to find reasonably priced diode, then find a...

    My first laser

    thanks. i dont really care what color as long as its in the visible light spectrum, which ever color is cheaper. i just need to be pointed in the right direction, mainly with the diode and driver set up.

    My first laser

    Im trying to build my first laser. I know i want to to be around 100-200mW, preferably 100mW. I plan to use aixiz housing to fit a 5.6mm diode. I plan to build it on the cheap side. I would like some help on which diode to use along with which driver to use. I will also need some help on how to...
