so, the board will be fine with the 10.8 volts the 3 batteries would put out? the resistor would handle that right?

The board will take up to 37 volts IIRC.

Got mine today! I was also really surprised when I saw how small the boards were. Thanks for taking care of the diode problem, and thanks for starting the GB!

You have to put in at least 6 volts, more is better. You could always try 5 AA or AAA batteries.

no LM317T based laser driver will run a red laser on 3 volts.

6v at least for red, 8v at least for blu-ray.

that will give you full power

BTW, how are those reviews coming along?
