    I'm controlling my laser with Mach3 via the Z axis You can't wire it direct like that. The circuit I'm using is completely independent from everything. It's driven by a cam and relays off the Z axis. Two power levels cut and engrave. Works great. You need to understand how to drive the laser power supply.
