ChipDouglas also told me about Ohm's Law. I got all this from him. I have to go mow lawns.

I know Ohm's law, 1mV = 1mA
chipdouglas said:we will talk more when you get the diodes but using the test load is actually the easy part...
you hook up the test load where the LD would go on the driver. then hook it up your driver to your power supply.
next. turn on you dmm, and set it ot 200milivolts.
then, on the resistor side of the test load put a dmm probe on each side of the resistor...
check your dmm to see what is says.. example 55. that means 50 milivolts. but because of the way the test load is set up and "ohms law" 1 milivolt equals 1 miliamp. so that 55mv=55ma. next turn your potentiometer clockwise slowly until you see the number going up to around 120 for phrs.
but to set it for the red you will need to set the dmm to the 10volt setting and use the numbers to the right of the decimal. so right when it says .4 then stop there.

It is obvious by that statement that you have no clue as to theWell, I can;t test the good current for diodes, I can't test that sort of stuff, no LPM....
