    Hi

    I have currently have a standard diode laser hooked up to my workbee 1000x1000. It works fine but i am looking at upgrading it.

    The laser tree diode module looks like it could provide the cutting power i need.

    How do i incorporate the driver board that comes with the module into the wiring?

    Thanks in advance.

    the BlackBox has 2 outputs for laser power
    5v PWM
    0-10V DC

    which one does that control board need? connect that one (-:

    Hi

    My question is around the driver board.

    I already have a working laser but the laser tree has the additional driver board which i am unsure how it will wire in.

    And we should know? It LaserTree's board. Where's the documentation? What do they say about it? Ask the 3rd party vendor about their 3rd party products?

    We provide the industry standard signals (PWM and 0-10v) - from there it plugs into 3rd party accesories - your questions should be directed at them :)

    I was hopeful someone here would have already wired one of these into the blackbox controller and may be able to help me.

    :(

    If its that hard to find info on their products (in relation to very standard signalling), might want to ask yourself if they are the right vendor for you. Places like JTech and Optlaser are more expensive, but following industry standards and clear documentation saves you money (time and in form of not needing to replaced damaged components when wiring wrong)

    I havent got the documentation because i havent pruchased the diode yet.

    i was looking it as an option and was hoping for advice or help on possibly getting it setup. I can see that i wont get any help here.

    So they don't even post anything public? Until you purchase? When the question is do you need to purchase it or not? (if you don't need it, you have to purchase it to get access to info telling you you might not need it? That would be a waste)


    We don't mind helping but bring us the info we need, what is it what does it do, clear documentation. We didn't refuse assistance, we asked for more info...
    What does it do, just convert different plug types or modify signals etc
