TEC project
I thought it would be a nice touch if someone , or a group, here on the forum would be willing to work towards creating a simple, yet effective TEC control as a project. There are a couple of really nice diode drivers available from members.....hat's off to you! I have tested and like all of them . It seems a LM317 based regulator and a TIP120 could be set up as a thrifty TEC device with a 10K thermistor. Maybe an op-amp to switch it on and off? Many possible ways....just trying to get a nice project in the works that I know lots of people can use....even for other than laser applications......shudder the thought. Anyway what do you think? Any takers....cohorts on a device of the like? Willing to donate parts,time when I can, and funding help. Any takers? Maybe call it "The PL-Cooler"? Tired of the balky PID units that need to be fed 120VAC
You are the only one that can make your dreams come true....and the only one that can stop them...A.M. Dietrich
