    Second red laser pointer that I’ve built!

    It's using a driver that came with the diode, so I don't know which one.

    Second red laser pointer that I’ve built!

    It is. I’m putting just enough power into it that it will turn on, so its heat output is not that much. I’m only going to have it on for a few seconds at a time anyway.

    Second red laser pointer that I’ve built!

    This is the second laser pointer I’ve made, and it’s the first one that doesn’t use mostly salvaged parts!

    Figuring out the pinout of a Class 1 laser salvaged from a DVD drive

    I'm working on salvaging a class 1 laser from a DVD/CD RW drive taken from a computer, and the part I'm a little worried about is destroying the diode if I wire it up wrong. Should I look for schematics online? Or is there a standard pinout for small laser diodes? Thanks
