Now I am new to lasers and this thread so don't judge me too harshly.
I am not quite sure if this is the thread I need to be posting in for this but it seemed to fit.
I have taken some diodes out of a few dvd burners and have tried to test them.
I have had my learning experiences and what not.
I am currently using this right now with 2 mini-alligator clamps on the leads.
Its a 3v encasement that holds 2 AA battery.
Now what I am basically asking is what is your main object and or method for checking a diode once you have extracted it without frying it
AND - is 3v a safe and correct strength to use with diodes? too much / little?
Any feedback to <-- noob :cryyy: will be much appreciated.
