I like 'em both. Prefer the old stuff to the new stuff though. Old Star Wars EP4/5/6 and Next Gen/TOS better than Voyager/DS9/Enterprise.

30/1, AUD$70/month 12gb limit (i don't download much) I have got speed tests registering up to 34mb/s downloads, must be feeling a bit tired this morning. haha.

I can't believe that mIRC still exists? lol

What region is the DVD ? Its probably PAL instead of NTSC for a start which will cause a problem for your stand alone player. Usually regional coding issues and PAL/NTSC format issues aren't a problem on a PC though unless the drive is locked.

How about some 3.6volt ones? or would that be "too high" ? 10440's should suit the bill.

I use desolder wick for most of the reworking i do, esp through hole stuff, but for some SMD stuff every now and again.

LOL , nice use of a projector lens from a car.

Yup, i hope they catch the person that did it, or someone has amateur footage that helps them to find where it came from etc.

Container? for thermite? that stuff burns through metal safes let alone "containers". You seen the videos on youtube?

More voltage in means more volts are wasted and burned up by the regulator (i.e it gets hot). You want to avoid having 12 volts in if it needs only 7.5v to reach regulation. I'd highly recommend getting a reasonably cheap multi meter than can measure current to accurately set your current using...

Just a note that the DDL driver is NOT a boost driver, hence requiring a higher voltage in than it will put out.

If you're playing with ANY laser that emits a powerful beam then you should be wearing goggles. Its not for protection from IR, its for protection from the very focused, very powerful light that if you get it in your eyes, either directly, or from an accidental reflection, could be very...

"i am 16 years old, and i live in maryland, i am very computer savvy and know almost all there is about hardware and software practical to computers" Don't be shy, tell us how good you really are.... ::)

They sell 10mw red bare diodes for almost as much as an LPC815 sled costs. haha Stuff is expensive, but when you need small quantities of small parts, its not exactly convenient to do an order from a large distributor. Just pray they don't go down like DSE and turn into selling all commercial...

^^ Agreed.

I just watched an episode of Mythbusters where they were doing moon myths and they actually went to an observatory that is equipped with a GIGAWATT power laser (obviously not CW!) to fire at the moons reflectors (to prove that man made reflectors were placed on the surface), and you're exactly...

I bought from them on eBay, packaged arrived to Australia in the fastest time ever for an international non-express package. I guess i was lucky.

I would recommend the following: Build a simple driver (using the LM317T regulator), with a large variable pot (~50ohms) and power the driver with the power supply in constant voltage mode. That's what i do and its the safest way. Using Constant voltage mode to supply the driver, you know that...

Thanks. :) Yeh i'm thinking i'll have to go double sided, but lining up the layers (for anything other than extra copper for dissipation) would be a nightmare for DIY'ing. I'll look into it though. It was actually running cooler than i thought at 100ma so that is a bonus. Driving an open can...

The schematic is basically the 'DDL driver' without the output cap and diode, details of that are here: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1185701612 . If you want the board layout file for ExpressPCB, i can post that too, just let me know. I have some SMD 47uf tantalum caps...
