I am new here and this may seem like a newbish post (sorry for all you "experts" out there but I'm sure you started out as a noob yourself), but I'm confused on a few things.
1. What the heck is a driver, what does it do, and how does it work?
2. What kind of battery(ies) do I use?
3. Where do I get all these parts from? I can't order online because I don't have a credit card or anything like that so buying online is NOT an option for me. So are there any means by which I can get these parts from a store without spending too much (budget of $50 atm, plz keep in mind)?
4. How long will it take to...
......A) gather the parts
......B) assemble everything
In a knutshell: I'm just a guy without any access to online stores that wants to build a burning laser for under $50.
Possible? Or should I look for a different project?
I would like to get this done before November bc I plan to give it to my friend as a birthday present
