kk so the driver i built was

i want to buy this
650nm 20x DVD Burner Laser Diode in Aixiz Laser Module Housing [LPC-815 in Aixiz module] - $22.38 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby!

if anyone remembers from months ago i was attempting to build a laser, unfortunately, i broke 4 diodes in the process and failed uberly

i tried my best to solder wires into the small pins, they would either snap off and yeah...

so i was just wondering if this driver i built will work with that laser

i will ask the owner if its possible for him to solder some wires for me

i no longer trust myself with installing a laser diode myself

Yes it will work. Just make sure you set the current on the driver with a test load and discharge the cap beofre hooking up you diode. If your finding it hard to solder to the diodes leads try using an iron with a smaller tip an always keep it clean. I have two irons myself, one which i bought for the sole purpose of soldering leads to diodes and assembling drivers.

Remember, to much heat blows your diode

Yes it will, now all you got to do is learn how to set the mA

i will ask the owner if its possible for him to solder some wires for me
Go to modwerx.com to get the diode in module with wires

Everything else looks great.
Just to note,if this one comes out bad, don't get frustrated.I did when my blu-ray went wrong,and boy that was a mess.
