I'm powering a laser with these specifications: 650nm laser diode, 3.2 VDC Current consumption is 40mw at 3VDC. I've got a 4.5 volt wall wart that I was going to power it with. A friend of mine said to create a voltage divider with two resistors. I use this site: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Bill_Bowden/r2.htmputting in 4.5 v as my in voltage and 3.2 as my out voltage and 0.25 as my amps but I get really odd values for the resistors (5.2 and 12.8). That doesn't seem right and I don't see resistors for sale out there with those values. What values of resistors should I use?Thanks
