NEW Lightvision APC mods

Here the URL (to PDF file). It's too much stuff to post, and this way is is more easily portable to other forums, etc. BTW feel free to propagate this

This was a lot of work and I hope it's worth it for CPF members. As I do not have a working laser to try these mods on, feedback on these mods is important.

Props to HD58PHD (Mike) for the driverboard loan so I could get this done.

Also, photo credits to KaneB... for the assembled module images. Saved me a little time there...

Anyway, here it is

EDIT - Revised PDF and link due to haste-borne errors (thanks KaneBlendend for noticing and letting me know). and again due to experimental results (thanks pinball for acting as beta tester). Rev2 is the current version. Removed all previous revisions from FTP site.

greetz and many thanks!!!:naughty:

Holy crap I didn't realize this was such a complicated board!! Excelent job, very well done, and appreciated SO very much! You are my new hero! LoL

*bump*

Hero or not, I screwed the pooch pretty badly in haste to get it done. Last night I fixed it though, and restored the link to the new version.

Thanks to pinball and Kaneb... for being guinea pigs ;-)

I'm sure if I missed anything this time, I'll hear about it

Bump again, after pinball helped debug the modifications with actual hardware. Kudos to pinball!

His pointer is operating now, after both mod stages, with APC control - at about 360mA and greatly increased output.

New improved rev, new link, proven now, etc.
