TTL Laser Retail
Replacement: None. We are no longer carrying this retail TTL laser in our catalog. This page is for reference only.
This is the basic laser card module with circuitry built in so that it can be turned on/off with a TTL signal. Includes polarized Molex connector to prevent reverse connection. On-board voltage regulator accepts 5-12VDC. A customer tested these units on his Agilent optical analyzer (Thanks Trenton!). The wavelengths were 654.5 nm +/- 0.5 nm at 70 degrees F for the 4 lasers tested.
TTL Laser Retail Product Help and Resources
Core Skill: Programming
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.
