Firstly,HUGE thanks to you guys for this. I always love small projects of this sort, and since I lack the knowledge to design something like this myself can't be more thrilled to have found this. I was wondering, though, since I need 1.8A output to drive my blue diode is it better to set the...

Yes, I am aware of that actually. I did check with my IR converted compact camera to check the output. I do appreciate your input, but I should have closed the question since I found the problem and it was my mistake (I setup the driver module incorrectly based on the instructions from Aixiz).

Hi, so I've got a bunch of (supposedly) 300mW 808nm laser diodes from eBay and have been testing them with an Aixiz adjustable 500mA driver. The driver is working as it should be whereas the diodes ar not. I tested them from the minimum current (0mA) to a max of 380mA and the output just isn't...

Well the diode is inside one of those diode housing units. As for the lens, I have no idea of any specifics on it. The voltage drop across the diode is exactly what the specs showed, 1.8V. Unfortunately I have not actually measured the current through (it never really crossed my mind :shhh:)

Hi guys, new to the forum. So I bought a quite cheap 300mW 808nm diode off of ebay rated at 1.8V 350mA (max 400mA) and tried running it with a variable voltage/current module I got from Amazon. I tested the module beforehand for proper functionality and of course set up the current output using...
