I saw a video explaining how to build one on a shoestring. It certainly won't have precise measurements, but it's a good starting point;
I just need to buy the materials. What do you use? Something DIY? Or expensive, professional LPMs?
BOM : Peltier cell, voltmeter, thermal paste, PC heatsink, cooling fan set 12V Adapter, cell heatsink, on the hot part, a black primer will be applied using a permanent marker, the two + and - cables must be connected to the two alligator clips for the voltmeter, the wheel is set to "V" and when a laser beam is turned on, whether it is a pointer or a module, as the heat increases on the hot cell, the power will be read on the voltmeter.
e.g. if the beam of a laser reads 5420.09, then it means that the diode is 5W and something pushing it to the limit
