Hi everybody,
I was looking into buying a red laser and I'm now considering building one instead. I've been reading up on it and just wanted to make sure this would work. What I planned on using:
Host: http://www.survivallaserusa.com/DIY_C6_Host_Assembly/p1667092_7862087.aspx
Heatsink: http://www.survivallaserusa.com/Unanodized_Aluminum_Heat_Sink/p1667092_7862029.aspx
Diode and Module: https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/3-8mm-650nm-300mw-diode
I will be using a single rechargeable 18650 battery. Now the only thing I need is a driver, but I am not sure which one to use. It says on the DTR page for the diode that the current should be limited to 350mA. From what I understand I would then have to set the driver in the ring and make a solder connection. Then I would take the driver and the ring and set it in the driver pill. After that, set the module in the heatsink. Then I would have to solder the wires on the driver to the diode, and fit it all together. Do I have this right?
I should also note I have no experience soldering so I plan on buying a soldering iron and practicing (a lot) before attempting this. Thanks
