Hi guys
Pretty new to the DIY laser thing.
Recently "built" a 200mw green (basic build - driver and module pre-assembled).
I've noticed if I shine the unfocused spot at a wall, the round spot sometimes wiggles and changes into an oval with two dark lines through it. If I turn it off and back on again that usually makes it turn back to a spot. I know for sure that it's not due to a loose lens or anything, it seems to be something to do with the diode itself. I tried taking a photo but my camera on my phone doesn't show it up properly.
Is what I have described normal or do I have a faulty module?
Cheers.
