So im new with lasers but am very excited to make one. figure i will start small and make bigger ones after i know what im doing. Heres my thought. Does this sound possible..

Aixiz Module with diode
HighTechDealZ - 650nm 20x DVD Burner LPC815 Laser in Aixiz Module


Driver
Micro-Drive V3 adjustable driver (assembled) - $13.00 : rkcstr.com, Micro-Drive and laser diode electronics


This is just my first one. afterwards i would love to step it up!

What should the power rating be equivalent to? approx a 200ma laser?? I have been researching like crazy and just want to confirm before i try it! :)

Those two items (and a 9v battery) are all that i will need right? Lense and everything else are good right??

Im just hopping to have a laser that will work and maybe pop a balloon or two from a few feet away. if this will do that then i plan to try!


Thanks in advance!!

Andrew
