Homemade phr testload (double check for me please

Hey guys I would like to thank laserbee, jayrob, and bennycast for there help on this project, this is my first time soldering on a pc board... i used 10 10ohm resistors to get 1 ohm (thanks laserbee) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062338
and 6 1n4001 diodes..http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036268
check for me to see if i did this right.. and how do you guys like it?

thanks!
!

looks correct to me buddy! Those solder joints don't look too shabby either!

I've heard of even using 7 diodes, but yours of course is just fine with 6! Looks like you're ready to set the current for some drivers!

Thanks meatball!

you've done your research it appears... happy lasing!

6 diodes is the correct. the diodes have a .7 voltage drop. so 6 of them give you a 4.2volt drop. which is close the pull a blu-ray does.

Yeah gota do my research before i post!
