I have a small problem here...
I am trying to put together a battery powered mini labby.
The laser module is already complete, it just needs power and heatsinking.
The module I'm using needs 5V... but I want to run it off a 9V.
So I want to drop the voltage down... Could I just hook up a few diodes in series with the battery?
I would like to keep this simple because I dropped my soldering iron and it doesn't work too well :-/.
Any suggestions?
My knowledge of electronics is pretty basic... I'm still learning.
Thanks in advance for any help!
