Im using a Mitsubishi ML101U29 diode with a adjustable x-driver.
This is not in a host except built on a bread board and powered by a 12v wall power supply.
Everything is soldered for the best contact.
Driver has been tested with a load and is putting out .200ma which is what i wanted it set at.
12v going into the driver, and 12v coming out of the driver when no diode connected.
BEFORE when I connected the diode, it was putting out about 7v but now its only a little over 2v.
Did I short my driver or whats going on?
The laser diode is coming on but not to its full potential.
