IR(808nm) hand held laser build

[WonHungLow]

its not that hard. just look at the pinouts, follow the lines and connect the dots. if there is no dot at the intersection then there is no connection on the intersecting connections. all components have datasheets that tell which physical pen is represented in it's schematic of that particular component.

i.e.

see what i mean (this is just an example)

what is the difference between a DX 50mW green and a "True 50mW green". are they measuring combined wavelengths or seperate?[/quote]
the "true" is a marketing thing, doesnt really mean anything
