3.3. Electrical Connection and Compatibility

Connect the laser module using the provided 3-pin input cable to your machine's control board. The module requires DC 12V 1.8A (1.5A-2A) input and supports 5V PWM modulation. If your machine's interface is not directly compatible (e.g., 4-pin or 24V), use the included driver adapter and an appropriate power supply.

The laser module is compatible with most laser engraver cutter brands on the market, such as Atomstack and Ortur, and supports software like LaserGRBL and LightBurn. It is compatible with Win XP / Win 7 / Win 8 / Win 10 and MACOS operating systems.
