You can build it and have a nice little laser. You won't get 150mW out of 110mA with it, but you will be able to burn stuff with it. You will probably end up with more like 95mW.

You could have gotten it here, with the driver already built and attached, for about the same price, but it should be a nice little laser when you're done

Peace,

You have some extra bits with that kit, this is the layout most people use here. resistor shown is a 10ohm which will allow a max current of 125mv you could do with another ohm to get it around 110ma. Can you list the resistor values so that we can work out your options.

what is below the yellow resistor?

 

[john_lawson]

looks like a potentiometer whow did i spell that right
crap oh yea back to bed lol

 

[rog8811]

The grey line between the resistor and the pot is a link to join 2 tracks, it just makes the layout easier.

[edit]As you are the second one to ask that question... I have annotated the drawing [/edit]

 

[CVlaxstar]

ok, and how does the soldering work? Do i just solder then take off the extra that sticks off?
is this correct so far?

I have not managed to access your photobucket account so cannot see your pictures.
If I understand you correctly, you push the components through the holes from the side without the copper stripes, solder the leads (making sure you only bridge across to the next track where shown in the drawing) You then snip off the rest of the wire that sticks out from the solder.

Just don't leave a blank line of holes down each side.

That is a very lovely empty cola can, yes indeed. Too bad it's obscured by that blurry thing in the front.
