So as simple as this is, I searched, and couldnt find and info that seemed to make sense.
So the diode I am talking about here is the 10mW 635nm here which has a voltage range of 2.3-2.6 volts
I am planning on using a rckstr driver which has a voltage drop of 2.25 volts.
But this would require a range of 4.55-4.85 volts, which would require a LM317 or similar circuit, just to get the right voltage to the driver.

That seems odd, can someone please clarify?

Yep you need to look up how to set the driver on a test load or with the P3 I believe you can test the current on the output side via a multimeter as well. You don't need to worry about voltage to the diode. The only voltage you need to worry about is that your power source can supply more than 6V to the driver.:beer:
Did you try a search for how to set the current on the P3?
