Thanks!

Ok, OH, and as for turning it off when it gets warm; is there a specific temperature range that shouldn't be exceded, my microcontroller has some free pins, I could add a thermometer and include an automatic shutdown in the code once a specific temperature is met. EDIT: actually, nevermind I...

Well, I just measured its current usage at 2.9V, and it's 320 mA, so I guess the 30mW is an estimate power after the crystal?, by my calculations, the laser uses almost 1W, does that mean the infrared one inside is a 1W one?

I bought this: Industrial Lab 3VDC 532nm Green Beam Laser Lazer 30mW Diode Module | eBay It just arrived and I decided to go over the ebay page again, just in case.. Then I noticed this sentence: The laser is meant to be used continiously in my application, how big is the danger of burning...

I'm making a device that has mirrors on motors and a laser pointed so that it reflects from one motor to another ( 3 motors in total ). The idea is to point it at a wall. and draw circles and stuff. the picture depends on the speed and direction of the motors. The motor part is good, and almost...

If I buy a laser diode, would that be all that I need, or do I need to get some lens too? here is an example diode: 2008369 - LASER COMPONENTS - LASER DIODE, 655NM | Farnell Suomi although it doesn't mention CW, would the light out of that be a CW dot? In the end, what I want to know, is...
