I am planning to make a laser with a DVDRW Diode I know they run at 2.4-3v but I was wondering how to make a control circuit because I am poor and only have 1 old (broken tray) DVDRW 16xwrite... also what can I do with a 52x CDread Diode (I am sure these are invisible infared) Advice / curcit diagrams would be nice
im planning to use the laser for "destructive" purposes so Infared filters not needed
