what kind of Meter is that? its sick

YES thanks everyone for advice, i made a makeshift 6pack holder for AA's and threw in some good quality AA's and it BURNS even non sharpied white matches :sold: lol sorry if i sound like a newbie but this kicks ass, im gunna build a green next i believe, this should do for my school capstone...

yea i figured ill have to get a diff power source but shouldnt the driver still be keeping what current is there steady?

ok well i think the driver might be bad because, i used an led for testig and i opened up the circuit right after the led and measured the current there and it was going down just like measureing straight to the battery, any ideas?

well i hooked up the 9v to my meter and it reads about a 6.8ish on volts and then i measured current and it starts at about 170ma and decreases to about 130ish is it normal to do that? and can you just hook it up terminal to terminal like that for current?

Hey finnaly went and got a dmm from wal-mart lol the EXACT same one i looked at from radioshack but for about $15-16 cheaper anyways now hopefully i can get it to work with a 9v later on:can:

ROG8811: hey sorry yea it was a small hole, and it was a black plastic bit, i made the hole much bigger, didnt go all the way to the edge with it but it should be plenty bigger. Pyro: hey man, no havnt gotten a dm yet, a little short on money cuz of girls b-day being today, not to mention im...

... just one more thing, before i go put it on the dmm to see where current is at, should i get a cr123 battery? or will the 9v possibly work?

thanks for all the help everyone!!, ill probly get a dmm asap because after i get this to burn somthing or i kill it then i wanna make a green lol yea i guess ill unsolder it to make it a accurate reading for current, where exactly do i unsolder? a diode lead and put the 1ohm between the diode...

well i didnt have goggles but i put the beam on a ruler and put on some shades and the dot it no bigger than a mm but apears smaller, and its very bright too, im just gunna wait till i have school friday morning and put it on the dmm to make sure i got the right values, anyone know a good way to...

are you sure this helps just by making that hole bigger? and it does have a small hole although the peice doesnt look like that...

yea just PS3's come stock with blu-ray

hey thanks for the replies, im sorry i dont have a multimeter ill have to wait till i go to school friday and use that one, but yes i am using a 9v, and i got the diode/module combo on ebay here is the link...

hi i recently bought a blu ray diode inside of a module and it looks and apears great, strong beam, good focusing lense. I made it so the focul point was very small like a pin point and also tried a little bigger, and it just doesnt seem to burn anything, i tried elec tape, a white tipped match...
