Gazoo!!!
I took your advise and purchased the AMC. It really small and great for my flashlight. But there is a problem:
I wired it up but changed a couple of things:
1.) Instead of putting a 33 ohm resistor like you did, I put a 100 ohm pot. It is wired in parallel...
Gazoo, need your advice on the AMC7135. You mentioned that for the AMC7135, you have to connect the resistor in parallel in order to reduce the current flowing into the laser diode. That's confusing my calculations. Hmmm....so lets say for example:
I need to put a 20 ohm resistor for...
Hey all,
I have noticed that some of the DIY lasers that were built had those laser class stickers on them. You know....the "Warning. This is a Class 3B laser product .... etc". Just wondering, anyone got a good image file of that so that I can go print some coloured copies of it...
Hey fellas,
Just wondering. I have received my new laser diode, but I don't have the regulators yet to start building a proper circuit. But I do want to test if the laser diode is functioning or not.
I have tried hooking up a normal LED to a multimeter with the multimeter set...
Hey All,
Ok. Here is the situation. I am about to purchase a laser diode from Stonetek. If I am not mistaken, its the Sony SLD1236VL. I have read the data sheet and it states that:
Operating Voltage: 2.5 Volts
Operating Current: 130 mA
So I am assuming that the total...
