I took apart a laser pointer. I put the laser module into a mutilated
brick. I added a diode, an LM-317, appropriate resistors and a .1uF
capacitor to make a 3 volt power supply. The diode makes it so the laser
is on for motor forward, off for reverse. Thus if I make another, they
can share a port.
I haven't had a chance to use it much yet.
