Hi Everyone, new here. I'm hoping someone can help.
I've had this mini red laser projector for around seven years now (well, maybe a bit longer)! and it's just been sat in the attic collecting dust so I decided to get it out and use it on a project I'm building.
As you can see I've took out the PCB from the lasers' shell and I'd like to simply replace the red laser for a green one, but knowing nothing about lasers I am not sure how strong I need the green one to be? Seen all kinds on eBay which go from 5mw, 30mw, 50mw etc.
It currently all works on either 4x AAA batteries or a 9v adaptor. There is no sticker on the current (red laser) so I'm not sure what voltage it is.
So any recommendations, help or advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Shane.
