Re: Build Tips - 7 Color Laser Using Adjustable Sled Mount/Heatsinks
a note on using the trimmer to control the output power. The combination of a 100ohm trimmer and 10 ohm resister doesn't give you much control.
trimmer value~net resistence
10~5
30~7.5
40~8
70~8.75
90~9
the change is basically going from full to half power almost instantly (assuming 5ohm cuts output in half).
