Hello folks,
I'm more settled in my new home, and now that I'm (still) unpacking, I've found a collection of old hosts and diodes that I haven't done anything with. I have a handful of unmarked de-canned diodes, another handful of regularly canned diodes, a 1W 405nm, a 505nm or two, and a 488....
With that, I'd like to make a matching set of 488 and 505 pens, but I'm lost with all of the new drivers that have cropped up.
I have two questions:
1) What are some driver recommendations for small pen builds?
2) Of those drivers, which ones work best for case positive and case neutral diodes?
Thanks! Now to find some springs, and a replacement soldering iron on ebay.de ...
