Hi all, I want to build a RGB Laser projector ^^.
I know it's a big project (for me xD) but I think it will work quite nice.
It will be controlled by an arduino. Now I want ro power up my green laser module. I've got it from a laser pointer (~80mW). It takes 3.0V but i want to pule it to create some pattern, so I want to power it up with my arduino but it gaves out 3.3-3.4 V. Would the driver or the DPSS damage?

you never know! .3-.4 volts is very little. i dont think it could really hurt it. i use 1x 3.7v batteries in my new wish pens
