Hi all,
My problem is I ran 4 diodes in parallel with a flat-ish battery (did not have much juice left in it) and only 3 turned on.
I've checked the circuit and it seems sound. Could it be possible that the battery did not have enough charge to power the 4th? I know lasers demand current till they blow themselves, hence why 3 only tuned on, this is why I think it might be the low battery.
I haven't checked the connections to the anode and cathode yet, but I think that's fine. The polarity is correct just to answer your question in advance. Could it be that the battery is just low on juice, or the lm317 bust or resistor? I don't think the lm317 or resister is bust, just hoping You have any suggestions !
Thanks
Rach
