    Wiring 15w laser with arduino

    Hello
    I need help with wiring arduino uno with 15W laser.
    I have this laser:

    Please help me.
    Best regards

    What kind of problem?
    The only empty connector that you have on your module is the one labeled "PWM/TTL". That is your input for PWM signal from arduino (guess that you use GRBL).
    Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude.

    First, thank you for answer.
    I use GRBL and laser grbl program.
    I have connected red wire+ and black wire-(12V)
    I have yellow wire empty (pwm/ttl) . Wich pin from arduino going to this wire?
    Wich wires going from arduino to my another empty connector -pwm/ttl+ (As shown in the attached image)
    Can you help me?
    Best regards

    PWM pin on arduino is D11.

    Thanks.
    Now i have proglem on GRBL with missing $30 and $31 files

    This is copy from my GRBL :
    **** Connected to COM3 @ 115200 baud ****
    Grbl 0.9j ['$' for help]
    >>> $$
    $0 = 10 (step pulse, usec)
    $1 = 25 (step idle delay, msec)
    $2 = 0 (step port invert mask:00000000)
    $3 = 0 (dir port invert mask:00000000)
    $4 = 0 (step enable invert, bool)
    $5 = 0 (limit pins invert, bool)
    $6 = 0 (probe pin invert, bool)
    $10 = 3 (status report mask:00000011)
    $11 = 0.010 (junction deviation, mm)
    $12 = 0.002 (arc tolerance, mm)
    $13 = 0 (report inches, bool)
    $20 = 0 (soft limits, bool)
    $21 = 0 (hard limits, bool)
    $22 = 0 (homing cycle, bool)
    $23 = 0 (homing dir invert mask:00000000)
    $24 = 25.000 (homing feed, mm/min)
    $25 = 500.000 (homing seek, mm/min)
    $26 = 250 (homing debounce, msec)
    $27 = 1.000 (homing pull-off, mm)
    $100 = 250.000 (x, step/mm)
    $101 = 250.000 (y, step/mm)
    $102 = 250.000 (z, step/mm)
    $110 = 500.000 (x max rate, mm/min)
    $111 = 500.000 (y max rate, mm/min)
    $112 = 500.000 (z max rate, mm/min)
    $120 = 10.000 (x accel, mm/sec^2)
    $121 = 10.000 (y accel, mm/sec^2)
    $122 = 10.000 (z accel, mm/sec^2)
    $130 = 200.000 (x max travel, mm)
    $131 = 200.000 (y max travel, mm)
    $132 = 200.000 (z max travel, mm)
    ok

    Re: Wiring 15w laser with arduino

    You should reflash your arduino with GRBL 1.1 ( https://github.com/gnea/grbl/releases )
    Version 0.9 does not have laser mode. (#31)

    Is it necessary to suply arduino with 12V?
    Now its working whithout input 12v to arduino.

    No it is not.
    TTL/PWM is logic level (Transistor Transistor Logic) https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/tex...oltage-levels/

    Re: Wiring 15w laser with arduino

    Did you connect anything to the 2 pin connector (-/+TTL/PWM) which didn't include the plug with purchase? So Sxx could control intensity.
    I know that the yellow(TTL) shorted to ground (-) will shut the laser down. So on/off would work that way. Or did you connect PWM to the yellow wire only? So it would pulse high/low from there with full intenisty burst.
