It looks like I could replace the simple drivers with these and convert the diodes I have to TTL:
ebay: 635nm 650nm 808nm 980nm TTL Laser Diode Driver Board 5V Supply Supply 50-300mA
(I'm not allowed to post links until I have more activity on forum)
Slightly cheaper than new diodes (but...
I wanted the laser to pulse to control heat buildup in my joints as the laser dissipates energy. Not sure if these generate enough heat to be a concern, but if it was easy, it seemed like a reasonable precaution. The laser powers up fine connected directly to the power supply. When connected to...
Thanks for the quick response. Here is what I am working with:
5pcs Focusable 980nm 30mW IR Dot Laser Diode Module
Parameters:
Size:12x35mm
Wavelength:980nm
Output Power: 30mW
Working Voltage: 3-5V
Focusable: Yes
Laser shape: Dot (Rectangle to Oval)
And I am using an old 5v cell phone...
Hello, I am new to this so be patient. Several years ago I assembled a simple red lazer (5v, 650nm) array to aid in healing sore muscles and joints etc. It works great. Wanted something a little more powerful to penetrate deeper into tissue so I purchased similar 980nm diodes and a $6 pulse...
