Is a laser diode any different than a normal LED, other than the wavelength its emitting? Or does it need to be modulated? I have some OPV332, 2.2Vf and 7mA If, so running it from 3.3V it would require a 160ohm current limit. But it doesnt appear to be emitting the anticipated red dot... So, anyone played with these? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
