Ok here t goes, i have a laptop dvd burner and a desktop dvd burner. I have taken all the diodes out of all these. So i have 4 diodes. i have tested most of them with 2 double a's and they all light up red?. So i continued on my quest to make a homeade laser. I got a switch, double a holder, (a 100k ohm pot?)
So i built a circuit using these few things. I have all the polarity right, because when i just use the 2 AA's it works, but i get the LED affect. So i put the pot on and the laser diode is giving off no light now.
So what am i doing wrong and how can i fix this. Please don't link me somewhere else. And if there is any more information needed just reply and ill be glad to provide you with it.
Thank you so much for reading.
