Hey guys,
All my parts for my build finally arrived, but I'm not getting anywhere near the results I expected.
Here is the parts list that I used : http://laserpointerforums.com/f65/check-over-my-parts-list-91553.html#post1330308
And here are some images of what I'm getting
The driver was reading at 1.4A on my multimeter before soldering everything up.
The brightness and spread across the room is garbage regardless of what I do with the lens. My batteries are fully charged and reading 8.2v when stacked. What could be causing it to be this dim? I used a static strap when handling the diode leads. What went wrong here, and how do I fix it? Also it's brighter for a very small fraction of a second before getting dim.
Thanks!
