Newbie needs some help

You are playing with computers, motion controllers, electronics and photons. There is a bit of complexity involved. If you are looking for a turn-key hardware/software solution, which does not require some degree of basic motion control and lasing knowledge, you have selected the wrong laser. The Sainsmart is known as a DIY-style laser system with the emphasis on the “Y”. :slight_smile:

This is also a good resource.
