I've followed the AI and make my own driver for it but it doesn't seem to have enough power to burn through anything.
I follow this AI:

it doesn't matter if I use one 10ohm resistor or two, it still won't burn through anything. The only thing that I use different is instead of 100ohm pot I use 25ohm Pot and use 35v 47MF capacitor instead of 16v 10MF capacitor. can someone help me out. I'm a total beginner. so please easy on me.
added:
Ok I will replace the Pot with the 100ohm. But for the resistor, how can I get to 3.125ohms, I can only find 1ohm and 10ohms at the store. Te only way I can get close to 3.125 is to put 3 10ohms resistor in parallel (10/3=3.333). Also with 400mA, will it kill the diode?
