I am aware that the United States has a policy against shipping laser modules over 5mW (which is basically all) into the US. However, I am looking at buying just a diode from O-like. It is the 500mW 808nm 5.6mm diode. considering that this is in no way a complete module, will this item be able...

@benmwv Veroboard is also known as stripboard. Stripboard is the one with the 'rails' running along it, similar to breadboard. @Juniortore1 If you REALLY wanted to, you could throw a 2 Amp board into a Aixiz, and it work flawlessly, as long as you use a VERY short duty cycle. I run my first...

@benmwv Is it just me, or that a small LM1117? or are the LM1117s smaller than the LM317s? and is that veroboard that you built the driver on?

So for my second laser build, I am going to build a 300mW red laser, using the LPC-815 diode. I want to mod it into an old LED flashlight that is powered by 3 AA batteries, and regulated by an LM317 current driver. The problem is, The voltage drop on the LM317 is ~3v, and the voltage drop on the...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I am currently making a 110mW blue/violet laser diode. Some of you might be familiar with this as the PHR 803-T diode project. I chose to make my own circuit, just to give myself a little more challenge. In the instructions, it calls for a 10 microfarad 16 volt...
