    Default CDBEAM====> Someday !

    Progress moves at the speed of a melting glacier for my RGY project !!
    (new dog + work load !!!!) Platforms modified with alum.1/2" bar stock to perimeter to stiffen!
    Just a quick question for the team ??? What size (amp ) PS is being used to power up the Pangolin FB3. I know I could use a salavaged computer switcher supply....but want to go smaller and lighter !!! A cell phone 5VDC charger/wallwart ??? Would that do ????
    Thanx !!!

    Yes, a mobile phone charger will work. I have used one with my FB3 board and have had no problems (Samsung charger)

    Thanx guys for the info !!! This is just one more piece in my " RGY Mosaic " !!!!!
    Oh...the passion !! Albiet a slow process, it is really great fun...especially thanks to all for your helpfull suggestions !!! I would not have started the project without the PL site !
    Perhaps...my completion will be timed such that a lower cost DI diode unit in the 450~470nm, with good beam optics, will be available for the blue
    part of my projector.....until then....are everyone's Lasever blue dpss units doing fine ????????

    The replacement Lasever that I received is doing absolutely what it should.....emit a lot of blue! No blanking issues,heat, or other problems. It does show to be a little low in power after an hour of run time....rated for 200mw......178mw after an hour. Not a big deal to me.
