Did you take that shorting wire off the resistor What about your pot, did you leave it cranked on full power What kind of increase do you think turning the pot gave you Good I suppose. I haven`t yet disconnected the shorting wire, but at the same time I haven`t used the laser much either. i`ve been busy trying to draw up a schematic of the board. Once I get it done, I want to plug

it into SPICE, that circuit simulator program. does anyone here have experience with that I figure with that program I could safely poke around without fear of frying the thing. The pot is still cranked at full power. When I was shining the thing on the wall without the heat fins/lense, (so I had one gigantic dot) the dot got maybe 10-15% brighter. but I have no idea how that translates to actual brightness once the thing is focused back down to a beam again. the tiny dot went from "hurts to look at" to "really really hurts to look at" Since shorting the resistor, does it still go through that cycle of brightness changes when 1st powered on Did you notice this at all with the just the pot adjustment One more question, after removing the heatsink end and viewing the laser head directly, I see what looks like a few drop of loctite thread lock on the threads holding the laserhead to the body, did yours have these drops as well What I would do is trim off the white border around the triangle and the warning test, that way it would just be yellow and would look much more cool. I think. I used this Matte glossy cd label paper. but i just cut out the square shape from the label. My printer is a cannon pixma ip3000 that I got off slickdeals. net for 20 dollars. which is funny because replacement ink is more expensive than I paid for the printer. Bad news on the laser front. last night I tried to disconnect my shorting wire, and...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
