Hi all, i am thinking of buying a 6x Blu-Ray burner, tearing it apart to get the diode, and mounting it in a Dorcy Jr.
The 6x Diode needs about 100mA to lase properly, and the Dorcy outputs about 300-350mA. I am thinking of using a 10-15 ohm resistor. Voltage is not a problem since the Dorcy Circuit is a boost circuit (3v to 5v), and the diode needs about 5v, so i could use rechargeable CR123As. Who thinks this will work?
Edit: I will also put a capacitor in there for good measure!
