Re: VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with 'bhwollen'
I can still try this man, but I don't want to make it look like I have broken it more or something. If I do anything to it ben will claim that I am at fault.It seems that the module was not set firmly enough or the set screw was loose which would explain why the laser could not be focused properly. It would also explain the poor connection at the solder joints which were apparently not protected with heat shrink or even electrical tape.
Assuming the diode and driver were not damaged from the short circuit, it should be as simple to fix as re-soldering the wires to their proper pins, wrapping them in electrical tape or heat-shrink, and then re-setting the module (properly).
