I have a low range driver (0-150mW). If I wanted to make it full range what resistor would I have to add/remove to do so. (if possible). I wanna be able to run a red DVD burner diode, or a 200mw IR diode.

Thanks.

Xplorer877,

I just looked at mine that is high range. Where your part "8R2" mine is "2R7" and your part "2210" mine is "20R5". The other parts are the same.

No. Just because they look the same, doesn't me they are.

Yes, the resistors listed are correct for the high range, but the pot is a 10ohm instead of 50ohm. There are no markings on them to indicate this.

Anyway, this information is available in the instructions (usage or assembly), which are available on my site (in the descriptions for each item), or you can download them directly with these links:

Assembly instructions

NOTE: I still need to update the pictures and everything for the new PCBs (the pictures show the ones I made myself), but the layout is mostly the same with just some parts shifted a little in some places.
