So I'm new to the whole laser business, but I hope to not be in the upcoming weeks/months/year. I am an Engineering student who has always been fascinated by sciency stuff and lasers are right there. I have a pretty good understanding of basic circuitry and I've been doing a lot of reading up on these things. For my first build, I understand, I will need these things:
Laser diode
Laser Driver
Aixiz module
Power source
If I'm missing something, please let me know! I'm not quite confident enough to start from scratch. I'm thinking about purchasing the Laser diode in a fairly disassembled apparatus, the driver being pre built, and of course, the Aixiz module in working condition. I've been scouring the boards the past couple of days and I think I'll be able to learn a lot just by holding the pieces in my own hands and seeing how they fit together. Does anyone have any tips (maybe some memories from their first build?) on what I should order to get started?
Thanks so much and I have much respect to the people who truly devote a lot of time to developing this skill.
