    Diode Laser - setup help, wires & hardware

    I have a 4'x8' Blackfoot CNC that I'm adding a Diode Laser to, I have ZERO experience with electronics and I would love some input on my wire diagram before I get out the soldering iron. I have the L-Cheapo LK-7 Laser https://www.robots-everywhere.com/st...ter-module-mk7, I also have a PWM from them https://www.robots-everywhere.com/st...er-pwm-adapter, this is my Breakout board https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16255189...hMey81kDeMw3NU & a video of operations https://youtu.be/0D2uYMVrglw, this is my power supply https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...0?ie=UTF8&th=1.
    So, I think I have all the components, I just want to make sure the wires are all going to the right spot. Next I get to figure out how to control the laser with Aspire & UCCNC. Please take a peek at my diagram and let me know (in the simplest of terms) if it looks ok or what I need to change. Please let me know if you need more info, I'll be happy to help. thank you!
    If the image doesn't display, I'd be happy to email to anyone. I'm very excited to try laser engraving.

    What is going to turn the laser on and off during the X & Y movement on your CNC cutter head?

    If anyone has any screen shots of their configuration, that might really help. Or if you have a link to instructions on setting up the laser through the spindle relay. I probably should update the BOB, but I was told this should work. thank you again!
