Hi, I have just started my first laser build with a lpc-826. I have attached it to this driver:
Laser Driver Board V1 - 80-500mA, optional TTL - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop
My aim is to have the laser capable of burning so that it may be used for engraving. I have tested it and it is working.
As I would like to run it off batteries, what would be the recommended type and number of batteries to power it? Would a single lithium battery be adequate?
The datasheets suggest the lpc-826 has a reverse voltage of 2.5v and the driver takes a maximum of 8V (extra voltage dissipated as heat and it is inside the laser housing)
Cheers
