I am newish to lasers and is certianly the case regarding driving them with circuits ,got limited supply of components ,and needing a restock ,but was wondering if anyone knows of any simple driver circuits using through hole components and some common ic's ,have no voltage regulators so,suggestions are welcome, once components are restocked i have a fairly solid idea of how to go about it ,what im looking for are some rudimentary hackz for the time being !!!!! [for a quick table top unit]
