First, I created the driver on a breadboard and hooked everything up. The laser was bright as hell! I couldn't even look at it around 200mW. So, then I soldered everything to the cb hooked it all up, turned it on and it was pretty dimm. I mean using the pot still changed it but it looked like a 2mW laser pointer at it's brightest. I thought I killed it somehow so I re-soldered another laser diode to the circuit. Again the same crap.?!?!? I only got one diode left, and I don't want to mess it up. Please someone help me out here.
Oh, While I had it powered on I measured the mA and it was around 200.
Also, I am using 4 N type batteries 1.5v * 4 = 6V
How do you properly discharge the cap?
Thanks
