HEY from Ottawa Canada

Hello everybody! The name’s Jordan and I joined this forum because I was reading many posts for the past month and noticed the whole forum is full of active and helpful members who have an incredible well of knowledge.

I own one 150mW green laser pointer and cherish it dearly

This forum is amazing! I’ve been reading up and learning pretty much everything I need to know about building a laser diode driver so I can start to make some lasers haha.

My electrical knowledge isn’t where I’d like it to be but thanks to this site and its members I’m taking notes and getting there :bowdown:

I may not appear very active for awhile but that's because I'm reading up as much as possible to try and avoid asking noob questions !
Looking forward to reading on and learning more!

CHEERS
