Hello guys,
im just looking through different driver options and there are some upcoming questions...for the case that the answers to my questions are to be found somewhere in this forum, i beg your pardon...scanning a forum for the answers might be possible, but timeconsuming sometimes, also its not my native language and i dont comprehend the context as fast as it may seem, when you read my post.
So to the driver, i actually only know where to hook on the laser and the power.
The power, from PSU or my batteries, will be hooked to 12V, right? So what is the 5V TTL and the FAN for? I suppose its not the same fan like on a motherboard, its not really meant to be used for cooling, is it? I feel like i already asked somebody about that, but if i did i must have forgotten.
Other question is about the powerspektrum of the driver, the usually go, for exampla, from 200ma-2A. Now what if i attach a smaller diode that cant handle 2A...it looks like some drivers dont have these potentiometer wheels, or am i just overlooking them and there has to be one? And if there is one, i guess im supposed to turn it to - , as far as it goes, power on the diode and then slowly turn to +, until i feel like i have the amount of output i want? I hope i dont have to get into the Multimeter-stuff, do i? Electronics really isnt my field...i prefer building stuff like airguns or mechanical shit of all sorts
thanks for answer in advance....
