Also I would like to buy a laser head for the machine, but I am confused. Will the Woodpecker Grbl (0.9) controller board control a laser and the stepper motors even though they need different voltages. The laser section on the controller board says 12v max, but the power to the stepper motors is 24v. Will the stepper motors run on 12v if I get a 12v power supply.
I have seen laser on amazon/ebay, with separate boards, do these connect to the Woodpecker to allow it to control the laser and stepper motors?
I really am a newbie at this, so apologies if the questions seem stupid or have obvious answers.
