Thanks!
I'm going to build a red first before i attempt the bluray! ;) which one would work better out of the 2? the 15 turn?
I will try and order some 100 ohm pots from radioshack.
I went Radioshack and got some stuff to build the driver. please double check me please.
47uf cap
in4001 diode
pack of 5 10ohm resistors 1/2watt 5% tolerance
lm317T positive regulator
they didn't have a 100 ohm resistor so i got
1k ohm micro size potentiometer 50vdc .01 watts ?
1k ohm 15 turn...
I have been looking around for awhile and finally decided to join. I'm excited to try and build my first laser. want to start off with something easy first then move to bigger.
