I bought and assembled a micro-drive laser driver (rkctsr) and a dummy load. Now I need to know what voltage to use.
I got an Xbox HD DVD laser diode (PHR-T083) and two 18650 from DealExtreme. Do I use one or two batteries? 3.7 or 7.4 volts? Can I set the diode to 50 mW by setting the current to 50 mA? And finaly, will I get alot of heat from it at that power? Please answer quick! :exclamation

P.S. : I didn't see any tutorials about how to make your own PCB on the forum, any body interested? It's great for making your own laser drivers in a very compact format.
