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 on looking at the resistance, and I was able to see the reading on the multimeter, plus my LED lights up. Is that safe to do with the laser diode as well? Or am I courting trouble?
Many thanks to LPF and its members.
