identifying LD pins.

Am I right in assuming A is positive and B is negative? Should I just connect B And C together like I've seen done on some other lasers I've looked at?

Ah... A is NEGATIVE B is POSITIVE. lol... nearly screwed it all up. Thanks

No, you need to read the whole first post of that thread.
The pinout depends on the diode.

What diode is that in the picture ?

Its this: 300-400mW brand new red laser diode/extracted from LPC-826 [OL-LPC-826] - $9.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

Yea, you got that right for the lpc-826

A is NEGATIVE B is POSITIVE.
