*BUMP*
Anyone else hacking together some projects lately?
abb, how'd your bike trailer end up?
Here's my latest mini-project. I wanted to take an NES Zapper and make a laser pointer out of it. Unfortunately, I got a little scammed on Amazon and the seller sent me a cheap knock-off instead of a real Zapper. The price was cheap; so, I'm not too upset over it.
So, I had to go about painting it first after ripping the guts out.
A few dabs of soldering (and almost an hour of sweating while undoing a near-catastrophic soldering goof on the tiny laser diode driver) later, and the new guts fit like a glove!
Putting the batteries in the grip gives the otherwise lightweight hunk of plastic a little more heft.
Frickin' laser beams!!!
