Hello, I recently purchased a 2w 445nm laser along with heat sink, adjustable 2w booster driver circuit, 2 BRC 18650 3.7v batteries, and lens assembly.
This is the first laser I have attempted to put together as a learning experience and am not sure how to test these items. I have the diode installed to the heat sink and soldered to the booster driver circuit, but am not sure where to go from this point.
Ill start with two questions seeing as I don't know the specific item descriptions I will post pictures of what I have so far.
1. Assuming everything is in working condition, should I be able to supply power to the booster circuit to power the laser? So far it remains an open circuit and there is no actuator.
2. Do I need any other items to complete this project?
Thanks, and by the way I do have laser goggles.
