WOW...So one thread for this question wasn't enough for you?

Have you EVER IN YOUR LIFE worked with ANY electronic components?-My guess, hell no!

I guess I will take this one.
1)OK, the red wire that goes to the driver, you put the switch on that wire after the battery and before the driver.
2)the "power supply" for a diode will just be the battery, the driver regulates the power.Probably something like ~5-12v input for the driver

You'll definitely want to do a little more research and be a bit more descriptive with your questions. What kind of laser are you referring to?

No you have not..... :whistle:The forum archives are huge...
you will need to use the [Search] button and look a little deeper
and spend some more time doing research...
The answers to your questions are there... grasshopper...:yh:

Just looking at the cover of a book will not let you know the whole
story...

BTW... no need to open a gazillion Threads to ask questions on
basically the same subject...

It might be worth reading over some 12-13 physics/electronics lessons... you'll learn alot.

now that this thread has been created, where can i get a device which i can control the input that goes to a driver ( i dont know how is it called). a device that will just be to plug it to a wall socket and that the device has some kind of outpot leads that can be used as the input for the drivers that can encrease or decrease volatge and current.
i did not use search button because i do not know how the device is called.
I prefer a digital one

A switch is not something laser specific...
