can a LED be as good as zenon for a strobe ?
I need it bright enough to see well enough to balance a shaft at 5krpm or
so.
LED is so much simpler, I have one hooked up to the motor controller pic
with just a 2n7002,
it works enough to see the motor phase change,
but it was just the white led from a cigar sized laser pointer/led torch.
but cant realy see much if have the lights on.
maybe a laser is the way to go ?
how much power will a 5mw laser from such a device cope with in 50us bursts
?
Im not too woried if it fails after a day or two of continuos use.
Ive got some blown ones anyway maybe I should try one of those.
