Hi guys,
After about a 5 year hiatus I've dusted off some of my old builds and have the laser bug once again lol. I have some new parts on the way but I also have components from when I built my lasers years ago.
I've searched up and down but for some reason I can't find an answer to my question, and I know its been discussed.
Today I will be receiving my 405nm (16x) from DTR and will be soldering it to a Survival Laser 445ma driver that Ive had for a long time. I've already checked the output current with my multimeter (~430ma) but I was wondering, is there a need to discharge any built up energy that may be in the driver? I've never had any issues in the past but I'm very rusty and would hate to kill my new diode.
Thanks for any and all help!
Cheers
