After months of planning, I finally put a Kyocera SLD module on a Convoy Z1!
This is using my custom Polyboost driver, joining a collection of other 3 Convoy Z1 RGB multi-emitter laser builds.
Here it’s putting 1.6A at 9V.
Using this driver for consistency with the other builds, and because it have a nice “few ma” mode for allowing observation of the laser diodes and phosphorus layer through the front lens!
Budget host, totally out my budget LED module. cool build non the less. Last I’ve heard of Kyocera was when I had a flip phone way back day.
This is so pointless that I love it.
It’s part of a multi emitter laser collection, it’s for sure the least pointful one
I want this!
(Check pricetag on Mouser)
Oh I might rethink…
Very nice beam-sabre anyway!
Looking the last photo I just realized that this big ring is the gasket!
I need a black 7070 gasket now…
Looks good, do you have a CD number?
Try a sharpie to see if that actually solves the problem.
No need for it, planning a definitive solution directly.
I also regretted doing this on the yellow LEP as it was still had a bluish shinny finish and it sticks some dust.
But I can focus any part of the internals including the plane where this ring meets the square emitter, is it possible to see the gasket reflected on the mirror part of the emitter, neat!
Or even some wiring if you pay attention:
