Ok so i tried to operate it with 3 rechargable tripple a batteries which total 3.6v but i still ended up with the same, hardly visible red dot, the only thing different this time was that a couple components on the driver board got really hot. Any ideas why the module isnt working, i mean its...
Fretwrecker and drew, thanks for posting here and helping me out. and thanks for taking the time to anotate the picture also. thanks for the help
so you guys were right it turns out the red module is case negative, but now when i get the laser to power on it only lasts for 1/2 a second and is...
so my cousin bought this, RED LASER MODULE and we cant see to power it... we were using a cr2 or a cr123 battery watever their called,

if you go with that host all you need is a cr2 battery and ur good to go. but just to let you know ive heard that the...

this video will be pretty helpfull and i know ill be using it in the near future, when my parts arrive
1.25v / 1000ma = .01
.01 X 1000 = 1.25ohm
maybe have something on that, in case some1 is using like 800mw diode or something idk
but great job man... im pretty noob at laser making but great vid, better than most of the others... (kipkay)
