PHR 803T Build

[Kookapeli]

I've got a 405 build on the go and have a queery about the batteries. I am using a 3 AAA pill but that isn't going to provide enough power so I am going to use 2 10440's. The only problem i have now is wondering how to bridge the gap of the empty space. Do i solder a wire where the battery would go or how I have done it below

also using this driver

Laser Driver Board V1 - 80-500mA, optional TTL - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop

I should be able to power the -ve in from the case pin of the diode right ?

It's hard to tell with the picture you have, but all you need to do is run a wire in place of the missing 3rd battery.

Hope This Helps A Little

Do you have said 10440's on hand now? Plug them in and see what voltage you get.

@ Udanis is it any of them or does it have to be a specific slot ?

@ Comradmax They dont have a reading in any combination of two, hence the need to bridge

 

[comradmax]

Oh, that's not a real wire in your picture, I thought you already soldered that red line in It will not matter which slot you put that in, if you do what Udanis said.

Cool, just wanted to check, thanks guys and no thats not a real wire

*Edit*

I hooked everything up and got nothing, after double checking all the connections etc I tested the continuity of the host to the heatsink, no probs
still couldnt figure why it wasnt working, Im using the case pin of the diode to feed the -ve input of the driver.

Back to the drawing board:cryyy:
