I took from a friend's burner the laser diodes(standard one, if that is necessary I can check its label). As I understand- one is supposed to be the RED one, and the other IR. I have a multimeter with diode mode. Last time I've connected it to the diode- it went crazy... can it cause any damage to the diode? will I be able to see light from the red one as with LED?(not looking straight).
After I'll figure out which is the correct diode, What is the simple way to make it work(and burn things)? I know I can't use directly a battery, but I also don't want to buy things for it, just create a simple circuit. also, please don't just give me a sketch, explain it- cause I want to understand what I do.
