They can be driven from\u003cstrong\u003e 2.8V to 5.2V\u003c\/strong\u003e so they're great for your embedded electronics project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular laser diode has a lens attached to turn the dot into a line. We think this would be particularly good for making a 3D scanner, but there are probably many other cool uses! Simply connect power to the red and black wires and you will be lasing in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line beam spread is \u003cstrong\u003e120°\u003c\/strong\u003e - so from a distance of \u003cstrong\u003e5cm\u003c\/strong\u003e the line is \u003cstrong\u003e15cm\u003c\/strong\u003e long. The line fades out and doesn't have a sharp cut-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is not a laser pointer. It's a diode with integrated driver. You still need a 3 to 5VDC power supply.
