    You can learn to connect and program a laser diode with Arduino in this tutorial. A laser diode makes a narrow beam of light. This is helpful for finding objects or lining things up in electronics projects. The steps in this tutorial are simple, so beginners can do them. The Raspberry Pi Pico W, with its compact size and wireless capabilities, is a perfect platform for experimenting with hardware like laser diodes. Each byte of data is encoded (but not encrypted) to add some robustness to noise during the transmission. The project develops an Arduino Uno–based PI control system to regulate a laser diode's output power by implementing hardware (current source, optical detector) and software (PI control loop) to maintain constant diode current and compensate for temperature and device variability.
