Okay, I read all the comments on this page and see that yes, the package includes the 3x battery host. good, because in package details, it deosn't say that, it just says 1x laser module
Btw those native combo options how do you control that.. that info I missed, as there doesn't look to be any switches and simply adjust these extreme small potentiometers that are glued down has way more variable then 7 combo options so likely not that you referring to and you also stated that you didn't touch or adjusted that in the beginning? so not sure what you referring to here 5:23 (how do you control it)
Sorry if you explained it in the video, but how is it powered? In the beginning of the video, it looks like there are battery cases on the table and I assume that's what you're carrying along with the laser when you test it out. It looks like it's connected to the white pin connector in the back, so does that power all 3 laser diodes at once, allowing you to remove the pins connectors from the front to turn off individual ones? Is this correct?
It is indeed powered by the triple battery holder (18650 battery x3), going to the white connector in back. However, it is not recommended that you unplug the connectors in front, at least not while the laser is operating. The empty connectors in the back are for TTL control and this is the recommended way to operate individual colors
~ I bought one but it came without instructions or a manual, so I contacted the seller, no reply. I asked for instructions & specs, as well as power supply requirement, no reply. Can you please provide more information? Thank You.
How do you power it? or turn it on? if it's simple, are all Modules like that? because I see alot of them on ebay, and if it's really easy, I would like to buy a few... is there a webpage that shows a step by step way to power these modules? because I googled and can't find any. :-(
I just put this on my wish list for my next purchase from Laser Pointer Store. I have a question. Just how many lasers do you own and once collected, outside of collecting them, what do you do, (besides making excellent videos) with them? In your opinion, why do people collect lasers? Maybe you could make a quick video about this question?
nice, i just ordered one similar (48 USD), 300mw as well and i'm so excited for it to come... were you able to control it using PWM or anything like it? after past one year of this video, how is the laser doing?
this arrived today, its a lovely bit of kit! the exposed circuits are a bit fragile, i will have to try and mount the box and battery box on something I think Did so say in your previous vid that this can run from a mains adapter? or was that one of the errors? You could use one of the 3 strange single battery holders.. remove the cable and fix the cable to a wire and adapter set at around 11-12V that may work
yes for color variation and beam brightness, otherwise you can also just use a cheap DC to DC LEDstrip dimmer if you wanna dim it all a bit down.. they cost around 1USD on eBay with a turnknob.
Hi XM360 I have a similar 400mw purchased off eBay, I purchased it without much research, do I need eye protection? Is there a way to shield material (in this case clear fibreglass resin and vinyl) from being burnt without decreasing the intensity of the light beam? I also noted that the model has an input for a fan, is a fan needed to cool such devices if running for extended periods of time? Thanks for the video has been very informative, hope to hear from you soon.
okay, I just bought this, on a wilm... Do I need to buy the battery connectors that look like single battery chargers with the wires coming out separately? because I have extra batteries, but I don't have those battery hosts with the wires coming out of them. If I do need to buy those seperate, please lead me to a place they sell them, I'm only asking because in package details, all it said was 1 x laser module.
Please answer this asap, does this laser come with the 3 battery holsters, if yes, does it also come with the batteries?(i Guess probably not cuz that would have been way more expensive)
Hey! I'm looking into TTL laser control for an RGB set of lasers - I know that TTL uses either 5 or 0 volts to rapidly pulse the laser on or off, so what method do you reckon I could use to control each channel by hand using an adjustable dial? Thanks!
@AndyHatchKitchar I ditched TTL and used variable buck converters, with a potentiometer connected to the pot terminals - the potentiometers have resistors with the same maximum ohmage as the original PCB pot across them in parallel, allowing you to change the final voltage out to the laser diode. Worked to make a nice RGB laser pen!
Guys can you reccomend any blue strong laser on Aliexpress, I like lasers I got couple green cheap 15 usd lasers but I wanna buy for 45-60 usd range blue laser, thanks
