Most of you are probably gonna laugh at me when I say this: I got inspiration from this, and the parts, from Kipkay videos. Seems like he's a little notorious.
At any rate, I have an AiXiZ 405/445nm, 1W Blue Laser Mini Driver, and the accompanying blue laser diode to go with it. I wanted this to be my first build, and a rather portable one at that.
Just for start experience, I guess. And to give me something to do over the summer, while I look for a job because my seasoning training ended thanks to budget cuts in the USAFR!
So I've seen someone else's project involving this laser, which showed me how to properly wire the dang thing to the driver and to a battery.
The problem is, it doesn't have a switch. I don't want the laser to be burning continuously, otherwise it'd burn itself out, yah? So I guess, how would I go about making this thing into a proper pocket laser, with a switch?
