sony diode, SAFE mA

[lasersbee]

yup thats a definite buy with my next paycheck , so i'll have one to test it before i ever put the diode on it.
those are on my shopping lists....new meter, 2 new drivers, 1 ohm diode and a 22x long open can.

and i want to change the driver i already have to 150ma for my sony that should be coming

And like Drew said... you don't need a $200.00 DMM..
My everyday all around general use DMM costs $10.00. If I need very precise low value data logged info..
I use my $80.00 meter hooked to my PC or not.
But 90% of the time the $10.00 meter is just great and does what I need it to do.
