    diodes and resistors

    well i would rather get these at a store because it only takes a second. I appreciate the sarcastic remarks though. they make me feel warm and welcome. And to everyone giving me shit about not researching the forum, how about refining the search a little better. I have read several test load...

    diodes and resistors

    ok so I went to Fry's electronics after many radioshack phone calls (haha) to see if they have resistors. And they have a whole freaking wall of em. BUT, out of the 1ohm ones there were two different kinds. 1/4 w and 1/8 w WTF? I have not read anything defining this. so which one do i get? =[...

    power supply?

    ok... so has anyone here built a plug in laser? If so, how did you go about it?

    power supply?

    I READ the faq btw... So how do you figure how many mA any given diode can handle? And does increasing just the amount of mA necessarily increase the wattage output of the laser? From what I have read it looks to me that you don't want to supply more than 5V directly to the diode. But wouldn't...

    power supply?

    What if one were to take a power supply that outputs 5V and 300mA and wire it directly to the diode, wouldn't that be the same thing as using a driver? What is the max amperage you could push with a PHR-803T diode?
