Contact info for DrLava

[andyf97]

What alternatives are there? Also I think second party is dealing his drivers now so that helps for the rest of us as he orders in bulk and lives relatively close to drlava. See LPF if interested

Instead of insulting each other like children, yup I know, I am one to speak:

Drivers and optics are available from different places.

a, Robin at www.die4laser.com has a nice new driver for blue.
b, A free boost buck driver design is published on the other place (maybe a copy, I have no idea).
c, And you could also do the research and learn to make your own.

Optics are all over the place if you just look.

The Open Source Boost Driver is based on the LM3410....
The drawings are Free and there are boards available...
It seems the parts costs are under $5.00 and some
members offer pre-built PCBs...

You will need to check it out for yourselves.. and they are
not modulated but have a DIM pin that could possibly be
used for modulation.

Looks like I forgot to take a right turn at Albacurky, and landed at LPF!!!

Since you keep insisting that I respond....

Besides not taking care of your paid up customers are you also
on drugs... That could explain a lot..

On the "where is drlava" Thread on the other Forum that you refer
to I mentioned that if you could not supply your product that it
would not take much effort for a member with some good electronics
knowledge to design a similar Boost driver that could be available at
all times.

You assumed it to mean that I wanted to produce them... You know
what they say about people that "assume"...

I'm a member of a few Forums and I will voice my views when I see
members/customers being ignored or abused by sellers... whether
it is you or some other seller.
I'm not the one that members have to open Threads about in numerous
Forums because YOU dropped the ball.

Pointing at me to throw your disgruntled customers off your back
won't work or help...

Just pick up the slack and supply what you promised and what
customers have paid for or close the Store doors...

Only then will all the Threads about you Ignoring your customers
go away... Only you have the means to correct these Threads if
you really want to...

FYI... my main business is Industrial Electronic R&D... the LPMs are
just another branch of the main business...

No offense here jerry but drlava clearly explained, apologised and likely is fixing the trouble caused.

Sure it could have sucked for the ones that had to wait so long, but in the end they are finally getting what they paid for. Shit happens, deal with it good sir.
Chasing away drlava isn't going to make the laser industry a better place.

I want to see his software library increase and he's only one of the few people on the forum coming up with new stuff these days other then bigger companies.
So my tolerance is low on bashing the few people that really create.

Again it's no use of bashing him more, it sounds like you have a sort of dislike to him so you have to highlight his mistakes again.
I'm pretty sure he has seen this thread by now so you can stop and let him spend his time on the things he wasn't able to do.

If someone has to speak up for himself the customer can do that himself, not you.
Considering yourself a customer for buying one product years ago is not going to justify anything.

Congrats on the baby drlava and welcome back!

While we are at it, why not welcome back Electrofreak with a BJ? He adds a lot of help over on LPF. Sure, he is a bit of an ass, but he helps the community so we should look the other way.

No one is forcing you to buy from him.

Google checkout must be different for different countries, as when i first placed my order it only reserved the money, then gave it back a few weeks later on. Then a few weeks later bam takes the money out once he marks it shipped. So I always have to watch out for the surprise of not having as much as i think in the bank account.

[badger1666]

yeah he marked mine as shipped and was sent an email from usps with a track number , but they said its just electronic info and does not mean it was actually shipped
but my message to andrew politly asking if it was actually shipped goes ignored, just like all the other messages
upto this point and in the past i allways had good comms with andrew and thought he was a great guy, but no longer do i think that.....
takes a few seconds to make a reply, and i am a beliver if someone asks you a question its just dam rude not to reply
mean while i am 80 bucks down, a lesson learned i suppose
