Yes! NEMA11 they are.
First number in the model number

 

Nice, can't

Can't find your mailing address or my invoice to get it.
Please send me it asap and I will send out your board this afternoon
My e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks

 

Got it off to the post now

 

Very cool!
I may just have to check that out

 

I seem to be having a problem editing the build
When I click on the edit, the hole body of the build is missing.
When I view it all seems fine

 

I tried that with no luck, try adding a line of text to the end of the body and I will then try logging in again and edit it out.

 

I can see the line you added when viewing but still when I click the edit button and the editing box opens its blank
Anyway I will keep racking my brain as to what the issue could be while I tinker with Laser V Bot
Still waiting on parts "power supply" before I can finish up this build

 

Here is a pic of my personal updated/ completed board with heat sinks.
Bit of eye candy

 

I'm going to try something on my end if it wipes it clean I will have some work ahead of me lol
Keep ya in the loop

 

Ok I think I have things in order now
Had to reload all the text and images bit by bit but I think it's all there now

 

Thanks so much for your interest and words
The laser diode I use is rated @1-2w depending on the driver circuit.
My design is based around them requirements. The LM317 T regulators are rated for 1.5 amps but with cooling and the T rating I have pushed them to 1.6-1.7 amps.
I choose to run my diode at 1 amp max to save on life span of the diode.
The diode you listed would blow through any of them materials but requires a special circuit for driving it "Pulsed diode" driver
Take a look at this setup and they are using a 1w laser in a ultra violet light spectrum "908nm" my driver will easily run it.


I have only cut 1/8 Balsa at 1w, it took 4 passes at slow mm/min settings.
As for the other materials you mention I have no experience with them.
My board will run a 1.5w diode with no problems as long as it's cooled well.

There are other ic chips that will run higher loads but really I would just take the leap into a laser tube at 40w and mirrors "big bucks"

If you like I can help you as much as possible and will be making my board available fully assembled and also arduino's pre programmed and stepsticks that will make it plug and play.
I am at the moment trying to cut the costs of making the boards without loss of quality to lower the price for fellow hobiest.
Right now it will cost $50 and shipping if it's outside of Canada for a plug and play setup that can run a diode reliably @ 1 amp load, 1.5 amps with cooling on both your laser diode and the driver board.
The arduino will be programmed and pins will be in place on both the drivers and arduino.
Board color options are
BLUE
RED
GREEN
PURPLE
GOLD "coming soon"
SILVER "coming soon"

In no way am I an expert, rather I am a hobiest that did a lot of reading on operating the 445nm and DVD burner lasers

BTW the end look of my design will look like the cutter you seen in the video minus the laser head changer lol

 

Ok kram when your board arrives the terminal strip connections are as follows



since you have a 1-2w diode on its way then you can crank up your current to max if ya feel the need.
right now its sitting at .130ma
Your voltage is set at 8.3vdc so no need to adjust

Also here is a link that will help explain a little more for you and others about how this LM317 circuit works

I don't see it being an issue but I myself simply solider leads direct to the LD and heat shrink.
As for life span I am still using the same diode from 2 years ago.
As anything if pushed to the max it's life span shortens and I have yet to kill 1, knock on wood lol

BTW your tracking number is
LM008904996CA
shipped Canada post

Let me know if it arrives safe and undamaged

 

No problem, we got hit by a snow storm so it took a little longer to drop it at the post office, looking at 3 -4 days
