alright, so i'm having ALOT of problems with these 8x diodes.
last night i put one in an aixiz. set it at 330mA on a flex drive - powered up, the dot is pretty dim, i had suspected it was dead on arrival as it had been harvested by someone other than me.
TODAY, harvested another, this oen is set at 324mA, on a completely different flex drive, powered it up, and same at last one.
this second one really confused me though.... i am PRETTY SURE the diode is fine, as i can see the output changing, but it never reaches full output, it prob stays around 5-15mW, with some flickering.
i measured the voltage across the diode and it's between 5.8 and 5.9v
anyone know whats going on here?
