Looking for cheap laser software

So move the green and 2 reds over one pin to the right and ground the blacks to the ground on the laser?

No, the green and red wires are where they are supposed to be. The problem is that the (-) sides are connected to pin 25. With some DACs that will work. With other's it won't. The proper way to have it is to have the (-) sides of connected to pins 14,15,15 for X,Y,I. Do a search for ILDA plug and you'll find the way it should be connected. But, before you go ahead with any wiring changes, make sure you understand what you are doing so that you don't short something out and cause damage.

So move the black wires to 14 15 16?

So 14 is x
15 is y
and 16 is I

how do I know what wire is what? And there is 4 black wires. What do I do with the last one?

[laser777]

Ok I think I figured this out. I found x and y. The other 2 grounds go to blanking. One on the laser and one on the board. I hook both thoes to 16 right?

[JohnYayas]

Double check the two wires you say go to blanking. That makes no sense. Most likely, one is the main ground and the other is blanking. Most likely the one going to the board needs to stay connected to pin 25 and the one going to the laser goes to pin 16.

Yes one is going to the board and one is going to the laser. When I pull either the blanking is disabled. Here is a pic of the one on the board. So keep this one on pin 25?



btw thanks for the help!

[JohnYayas]

I can't tell looking at the picture. What does the red wire that is attached to it go to?

[laser777]

To the auto/music - ILDA. Switch.

Well I tried that and it does the same thing. It works with the software, but no x y scanning.
