Kookapeli, this is older than the other threads you've helped with, I already have all the parts. To everyone else, thanks for the help, I bought a 5 pack of diodes, 5 housings, the drivers listed above, and safety glasses. Thanks to all for the advice

Btw, how did you wire the board? I want to just ignore the ttl or wire the positive in to positive ttl if I need to

I got the glasses, don't worry, and I don't plan to push it past 340 mA

thank you

no link?

Laser driver - It can be done its 1 ohm here

that's just my point, unless I am not to worry about the output voltage until the dummy load is put on, its still too high?

3AAA batteries, this driver (Amazon.com: AixiZ 2 pack red and IR laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL: Everything Else), and these diodes (5pcs 650nm 660nm 250mW 350mW Push CW Red Laser Diode LD Mitsubishi ML101U29 25 | eBay)

I feel like I need to, my driver has a very low drop, and I need like 3v max and its giving 4.8 at the end. I cant just remove a battery because I need between 4 and 5 for the board, so is this plausible, or am I confused?

I measured the voltage to be over that of the diode's reqirements, and yes I did measure open, how would I go about making a test load? and Is it required? I have little budget left EDIT: my diodes are already in America, I would prefer not to buy more stuff from china if I don't have to, I...

okay, so I'm at a point where I don't even know if I have the right stuff anymore for my red laser build. I soldered the power supply (3 AAA battery box) to the board (Amazon.com: AixiZ 2 pack red and IR laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL: Everything Else) and to the switch and when I tested the...

5pcs 650nm 660nm 250mW 350mW Push CW Red Laser Diode LD Mitsubishi ML101U29 25 | eBay the front of the diode does not appear to be as enclosed as others I've seen, so will it work if it's pressed in like any other diode into the module? please go to the link and help me, i'm so confused

thanks mate, i'm going to run power from a 9v to both the ttl and the regular input and try my luck

no I get the point, I've got a pair in the mail as we speak

care to explain the first part a little more?

on another note, should I need a heatsink for a 660nm 250mw red laser build?

so if I used a 9v batter to the driver it'll work? space is not an issue, i'm going portable in an altoids tin

Amazon.com: AixiZ 2 pack red and IR laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL: Everything Else i'm sorta aware of what ttl does, but not really, I want to use this driver to put out a solid beam from my diode because this is my first build, can this do it?

with Cajun being down my choice for modules is the 5 pack that he moved to ebay for 9, or going to survivallasers and getting my module and lenses separate, both are almost the same price, and the 5 pack would be probably better since I plan to build 2 devices

it looks like Cajun is still open right now for a clearance sale, and I think the driver will work. any glasses you'd recommend?
