    Default Laser Projector 4.0... 1W or Bust!

    That's as far as I got tonight, still needs a little more alignment tweaking and wiring. I should have it up and running tomorrow evening.

    Max output specs are:

    • 530mW @ 660nm
    • 370mW @ 532nm
    • 270mW @ 473nm

    I'd be perfectly happy with 750mw - 1W output after optics of white... We'll see!

    Thumbs up

    You got it to fit!

    When I looked at that layout, I knew it was going to be close... Good job on making everything fit on such a small baseplate. Can't wait to see the RGB beamshots from that baby!

    Thanks guys!
    I love portability.

    It's done! Well, except for a little color correction board tuning and putting on the side panels.







    I'll try and post some beam pics tonight!

    Beam Pics....

    Sorry, For some reason my camera does not like red. The red in person is way brighter. Yellows and oranges are non existant. I'll post some video when I get a chance. That will be a better representation of my output.

    Looks GREAT! I have the same problem with my camera. Makes all the colors look flat.. but I can visualize what yours must look like in person.

    Look bootyfull! Yeah if the red pixels on your camera are centred on say 650nm and you show them 660 for instance; the response isn't great.

    You can sometimes perk the colours by selecting a different white balance.
