Re: Starting tonight, 13 Sept - new GB for 16xdiod
well if you put brand new lithiums or something in it, you may kill it, so i would be EXTREMELY carful with that!!mhouse974 said:I know connecting batteries directly to the LD is bad. On my next laser i will try and use Daedal's circuit board. but the other day I built a burning laser pointer and connected it directly to the batteries and it still hasn't burnt out, and still burns things quickly when i put new batteries in. This diode i extracted from a broken DVD burner ($17.90) seems to be very tough i even heated the diode with my soldering iron while the diode was inside the aixiz housing to the point where the aixiz heat sink became so hot i had to let go of the thing so i didn't burn my hand. I thought i killed the littel thing but to my surprise it still worked (and burned stuff).
