Hi there guys.
Im currently in the process of studying for my first build.
I've read over the tutorials and such, and have found a good supplier of tools, but they tend to use different names for items and I was curious what else I need to build my laser.
"Consists of a visible laser diode, brass diode housing, APC (automatic power control circuit) driver, and collimation lens all factory assembled in one small module. 3V operation and consumes approx. 450mA. Overall dimensions of case are approx. 11mm diameter by 34mm long (51mm total length including PCB)."
From what I understand, the diode, heatsink, driver, and lense are all there in one module. Which leaves, a housing and batteries? If so, which batteries would be needed?
I'm sorry for sounding like such a noob but hey, gotta start somewhere
Thanks.
