    Nice host options?

    A few months ago I got a 520nm laser diode and a 12mm module, it worked perfectly with my psu, but now I want to put it in a host. I'm a student and my budget is quite small, like 20-30$ for the host (I have to order the driver parts and the pcb yet and is going to be expensive) Throught the...

    Diode broken under mysterious circustances

    A month ago I bought a lpc-826 (from e-Bay), rated for 200-300mw. That was perfect, I drived it with a lm317 and worked fine (386ma). I runned without a heatskin, but with 12mm module for about 5 seconds. The module got warm, the negative pin was unsoldered and got led. I think that 5 seconds...

    Led laser?
