Hi there everyone,
Id like to thank all the people thaqt have been helping me out so far and encouraging me to join this forum.
I am an amateur hobbyist at best. A few months ago I wanted to learn more about circuit repair and construction so I started fixing and building little hacks here an there. Anything from a solar powered flashlight that could be recharged via micro usb and had a female usb jack to be tapped for power to a functioning dvd burner laser hack I made with an aixiz module and custom lm317 module. It did not do very well lighting light objects ablaze, after seeing this video

I have since then purchased an aixiz laser module again, the blue laser diode driver to match my 1w 445nm diode. The two worked but the output was comparable to my 200mw build or blu ray upgrades i see in the videos. My hope was that the upgrade to 1w would allow more diversity than burning pinpoint holes through black tape and plastic. I started doing my research on here and elsewhere to find an simple straight forward driver to assemble at home.

The parts I have are : an 1w 445nm diode pressed into an aixiz module with leads attached, 2Xcr123a, 8 aa batteries with housings, 2Xlm317, assortment of resistors, my potentiometers are all way to large, it seems like its it either 25 ohm or 10,000, 2x 47uf capacitors, 1n4001 diode. It seems like those are the parts I need. Just a note I was refered to the plans above from soemoene that built a burning 1w laser so I went with it thought hte plans say they are designed for a blu ray diode. Anyway long story short, I a noob, i need help. Thanks world
