If you keep double and triple posting asking for help, for things you can easily search your self no ones going to help you.

We are not here to spoon feed you. All the info you need in on this forum. Just use the search bar!

:poke: As is in my sig below, you really need to read this thread and the links within it, two or three times. It will explain a lot of what you are asking. It will also allow you to ask better questions.

I want to build a laser

That is OK. Wanting help is fine. Everyone on this forum started out knowing nothing about lasers at some point and learned by asking questions, reading and doing.

In case you do not frequent forums like this one (dedicated to one subject), the members value people that want to learn and are very willing to help. What they don't appreciate is being asked basic questions where the answers are already well documented and available. You should start by reading the stickies, doing forum searches and following the posted links to related information. Putting in the effort to find the information and then asking questions to confirm what you have learned goes a lot farther than just posting a question to get to the next basic step.

I would suggest (if you have not already done so), read the thread linked in my sig below and all of the links in it at least twice. That alone will likely answer most of your current questions. Once you have done that, you will likely have more and that second round of questions have likely already been answered in other forum posts as well. If you can not search out the answers to them, then post in the forums for help. I bet you get a much warmer reception at that point.

Please don't take this as a slap down or anything like that because it absolutely was not intended that way. Just some friendly advice from someone that was in your exact shoes not too long ago (not that I am much farther along now but I am working on it :eek: ).

So good luck and have fun. :D

what power source are you planning to run it from? or what host are you planning on using.

just a heads up, the phr-803 laser is going to be heaps dimmer than your greens.:)

It will definitely get through. Neither of those are controlled. Don't forget you will need a testload to set the driver
