Hello !! (from France). This forum is full of excellent idea and ressource, its an honour to be here
I have a question, or remark
DDL driver need at last 6V to be full operational, that 's why we need 2x 3V CR123 battery with a mxdl Host. To higher voltage just add few 1n4001 in serie in circuit to lower voltage.
Its for low voltage that there is a problem (for me :)
I think that Cr123 battery are not the most choice to run laser (in my opinion) because they cost more than standart alcaline battery, and have shorten life time (if we compare to LR20 which are cheap monster) due to high power of laser consumption. With CR123, the advantage is that we can reach 6V with only 2 cell and have a nice host full design.
If we look a DX, they sold "crappy " flashlamp witch run at 2D cell or 3D (i dont find 4D, it will be very long , like Maglite type in picture), okay we got a poor lamp for a high $$ laser but i think that we spare some $$ with cheap lr20 (20.000 mah!).
So for example, i can use 3D cell with the crappy flashlight, i have 4.5V, but driver need 6. Is there a solution to "light" this driver? (removing 1 diode for example?) i can't test a this time
im expecting problem to post image for first time and sorry for mistake in my post =)
