Where did you get this laser? It didn’t come with a power supply?
The most simple way it to use some type of interface board you can just plug the cables into it… as @Jaap326 advised.
My MKS-32 (V2.0) is rated at 25W from the V supply pin. Which means you can’t use the 12V output of the connector on the mks… your laser is 36W input, so you have to get power to the laser via a separate line.
The wiring diagram shows how a normal laser would wire up…
Your laser draws too much current for the board to handle. It will require an external supply. I placed the X on the line you have to change.
The pwm and ground comes from the control board.
I have upgraded to a 30W laser head…
I had the supply, grounded it to the controller and ran a power only line to the laser head to remove the power draw from the control board…
All the interface board does is connect G (ground) and S (ttl signal) from your controller to the laser and pass the exteranl 12V supply to the laser only.
Does this make sense?
