Maximum Voltage?

[GreatBazunka]

Does anyone know what the maximum voltage is that i can put into a laser with a driver? Namely, i am using a 5mw red Aixiz laser module in my homemade spirograph and wanted to wire it right into the 5v power of the spirograph. Would this be ok or do i need more/less for this laser. Thanks in advance. :-?

You really need to go back and find out which module you ordered to be certain since some of them are rated at 3.2 volts and others are 3-5 volts.

Thanks, ill check. I was looking at the laser specification section of the Aixiz aite and it looks like i can do that, but i dont know if i am reading the chart tight. Just wondering if anyone has done this before or not.
