Evening all!
I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with...
I've got one of the new style O-Like modules which voltage range is 3-3.7v
but would ideally like to use one of my better 17670 batteries rather than a shorter lived 3-3.7v RCR123
Id like to know if it's at all possible to solder a diode to the driver board to reduce voltage to the 808nm laser diode?
From reading in the forums I think I maybe correct in thinking the 1N4001 drops the voltage by 0.7v , which would mean my 4.2v 17670 batt would get dropped to 3.5v
which would be an acceptable voltage for my module right?
LarryDWF just meantioned a 1N4006 diode for my green driver module, so my noob question is what is the difference between a 1N4001 & 1N4006 in relation to this module?
Thanks.
