Will these drivers work for a red dvd diode? 16x






Re: Will these drivers work for a red dvd diode? 1

i know this sounds stupid but would a paperclip work as a wire LOL

bs the wire is not solid

What is this "solid" that you are talking about? Do you want the wire in one piece( "solid")? If you do... than there is no point. You can just make the ends "solid" by adding a bit of solder... A paper clip will work, but it is not the best solution. It will get hot with current and is uninsulated

hey i dont think i bought a bread board lawl [is it still usable?]

anyways, now i dont know where to get wires

ay... Just solder them together with solder wire... might want to insulate it... or use headphone wire... anything will do... really

alright sick, is this board of any use LOL
 
Re: Will these drivers work for a red dvd diode? 1

The board looks like the two vertical holes are connected to each other. I don't know what it would be useful for, but I have never used a breadboard, so I don't know at all

Why do you say LOL at the end of each sentence?
"I ate some pizza today LOL" ::)

=[ sorry i just fail alot and feel very stupid

so is this board useless or ...

is it even a breadboard?

mind explaining how it works spyder or someone

And yes, that is a breadboard. It should work if you use every second hole.
 
Re: Will these drivers work for a red dvd diode? 1

i dun really get breadboards... sorry thats how fail i am [ i have researched it for hours and days, believe me]

is it each row connects to each other?

Ethernet wire (24awg) should be fine fine for most things, if not a little thin for breadboarding (which is 22awg).  It can handle up to about 570mA according to this site, and you'll only be pumping in at most 450mA into a red laser.  If you need plain wire, just buy a spool or two at Sparkfun ($2.50).  I like to have red and black ones.  I'd pick up some other good stuff (breadboard, breadboard power supply) there too while you're at it since you'll have to pay for shipping.

I use Ethernet a bit because it's pretty cheap and you get six strands per given section. My situation is different, however, because I have access to a box of it as well as a lot of dead cables and such.
