First ever build, would this work?

[r1Bro]

Hey thanks for reading, this will be my first laser I will try to build. I have been lurking these forums for a while but finally decided to make a account and this is actually my first post. Anyways I would like to know if these products will work together...

The driver:
2pcs adjustable current laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL | eBay

The diode:
300-400mW brand new red laser diode/ from LPC-826 | eBay


I already have a few 4 AA battery holders that I am hoping I can use to power it. I have goggles and a flashlight I would like to put it in, so I am thinking all I need is a 12x30mm Aixiz laser module and heatsink? I may be forgetting something but not sure. I am looking to spend $30 or under to build this. If you know of better drivers, diodes ect. that I can buy on ebay feel free to post them. Thank You!

I think that AixiZ direct online store is cheaper than ordering through ebay.

Hey thanks a lot for the reply! Thanks some things do look cheaper there! As for that driver and laser in my main post will that driver work with that diode? Or is there one you would recommend from aixiz website? Thanks again man!

you need a test load to set the current on the driver
