Hey thanks for the response, I've already looked on eBay and while there are drivers that can do 850nm none of them can do the voltage or current I want, most have a voltage of 3-5 (I'm shooting for 2v) And a max current of around 500mah (I'm shooting for 3a). If you know of one that can do what...
Yeah, I already did some research and found out that 850nm is NIR which is basically invisible so I'll be taking proper safety precautions when using it. If I can get to using it. As an update, my plan for powering it so far is a 3.7v 18650 cell as it can provide the current needed and then...
Hi, I'm just getting into lasers and recently purchased a laser diode to make a laser to engrave wood with. It was only after I purchased it that I realized that getting it running would be a lot more complex than just hooking the diode up to the specified voltage and amperage. I've done a lot...
