Hey guys. I don't have a driver for my builds yet, so until my driver arrives I wanted to test my diodes anyways.
What I have readily available is a 12v constant power supply (and it is constant, no variance) capable of up to 2.5A of output.
I want to test the 12x 405 at 500mA.
Is it safe to put the power supply in line on my breadboard with a 24ohm resistor to test my diode?
500mA = 12v/24ohms correct?
---
I'm aware that math appears very simple and easy, but this isn't pocket change for me so I'm just trying to do everything I can to make sure. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: I actually only have a 22ohm and 2 different 1ohm resistors available to test. Again I believe that won't matter but just checking
r1 + r2 + r3 = total resistance correct? 22+1+1 = 24?
