To start off, I originally inspired myself by ripping apart my blu-ray drive and taking out the diode from it, which as my first time (being quite ignorant of the methods as well) smashed the diode lens.
Later, I ordered a couple drivers, lenses, and sleds to start another project.
I'm using the O-Like 405nm driver (200ma), axixz lens, and xbox360 HD-dvd 405nm diodes now.
Below, I have a CR123A battery which I plan on using for power, and the host is an led flashlight from wal-mart. I took apart the flashlight and never found a current regulation board, so now I'm curious if I can just hook the battery up to the driver and lead it to the diode.
The battery is 3 volts, so I don't see any over-voltage problems. But, the driver has two "+" power inputs. One is named "VCC'+'power" and the other is just "VCC'+'"
VCC+Power is near the top, by the diode positive and negative, while the VCC+ is near the back by the grounding.
With common sense applied, I figure that the back input is the one to use for the battery, although I'm not sure. I don't want to fry the driver.
Any help is appreciated.
