    Pins I have identified

    Please note that I am far from an EE, but will do what I can.

    1-No Connection
    2
    3
    4
    5-Ground
    6
    7
    8- V+
    9-No Connection

    Will trace out some more after Mother's day dinner

    Noticed the polygon scanner on the Photonlexicon home page is the same one Included in this module.

    Laser-ad could you E-mail me the datasheet for the driver chip?

    yeah, you snatched the last one right out of my hands . I was in contact with the guy for shipping costs, and when we finished discussing it, I went and tried to get it. You beat me by 5 mins :P . Nice timing

    Anyway, no harm done, it turns out the guy had one last module and agreed to send it to me

    In case you mean the datasheet for the laser driver chip, here's the link where I got it from

    Remember the future?, That'd today, as you imagined it yesterday.

    Traced a bit more and refered to the data sheet

    1- Ground
    2 -Data in - Ground to pulse or hold laser full on up to 20 Mbps??
    3- Laser enable ground
    4- No Connection
    5- Ground
    6- Not really sure seems to be some sort of an output
    7- Ground
    8- V+
    9- No Connection

    Still unsure of the exact function of the 2 trim pots.

    Once I secure a 5V supply I'll hook er up

    Those trim posts are likely to limit pulse width and power level on the laser. Power output is likely going to be less than 5 milliwatts if it still works.
    Best to get a more powerful laser since you won't really notice much with such a low power device.

    No Doubt, but it's fun to tinker

    Should work I believe it's new old stock

    You know, there's an easy way of getting a 5v power supply, just use a LM7805 or such power regulator. Just a couple of capacitors to filter spikes and that's it. Just a thought .

    You mean 500ma?, if so, I'd recomend starting at something more like 30 ma, just to be safe. I'm pretty sure you'll blow the diode if you use 500ma.

    I have an idea. Start at 30ma and increase the current until you blow the diode, then tell us all what current you reached, so we don't blow ours :lol: . Just kidding, of course.
