Thanks for pointing that out. Would you be kind enough to show me where i am going wrong? And yes, that is a diode to the right of the cap.

Title says it. Built it last night using a single resistor circuit. However, when i turn it on i am getting 8.5 volts LD Out. I attemped to check current using 6 diodes and a 1 ohm resistor in series as load, but not getting anything. Something doesnt seem right. I have included 2 pictures. One...

Ok this is where i get confused. Are all blu ray diodes the same wave length? And capable of popping ballons and lighting matches? Are they all blue in color?

you guys are great at answering questions fast! I just placed another order with high tech dealz for the aixiz module to hold the diode. I see what you are saying about using a fixed output. I guess a POT is nothing more than a variable resistor, so based on what you set the POT at, will...

thanks for the reply. since I am a noob at this I don't wanna fry my first diode :) I just wanted to make sure with this set up, even at its highest settings, it won't fry the diode.

hi all. I am a laser noob and have been reading over the forums for the last few hours. I ran across a driver from a member here for use with blu ray diodes. The diode I am using is from a Magnavox Blu Ray player with 3 terminals on it. The circuit is from Daedal. The post is old and the radio...

Thanks for the reply. Why not use the IR? Now what do you mean it already comes with one?

I have been reading through the forums and would like to build my own laser from a blu ray diode. But I still have some questions. I pulled the blu ray diode and the red diode from a magnavox blu ray player. -how do I identify positive and neg? the red has four legs and the blu has 3 -I am...
