Laser diode not conducting

The laser diode has a reverse breakdown voltage of only 2V. Try putting a Schottky diode in reverse parallel to the laser diode. However, after a few runs, the laser seemed to break and stopped emitti...

Diode laser incompatible with control board?

The laser diode itself is unlikely to have been damaged. If the controller PWM output is broken (but the controller runs otherwise) it may be possible to use an alternate pin; either a spare
