7 watt laser plug configuration

Post by Tomwkeane »

I updated a toolpath and exported it with the wrong Post Processor. When I fired it up, the router head spun up and ripped the wire out of the controller.

It appears easy to reconnect them as the lugs are intact. The laser is a 7 Watt unit with 5 wires, White, Black, Purple, Red, and Green.

Is there any documentation or guidance on how I can reconnect the wires – it appears to be an easy self fix.

Did you figure this out yet? I just ran across your post, so I took a few pictures of the connector in case you still need the info. I can vaguely see the wires all still arranged in the right order in your picture, with the gray and dark red on one side and the green, light red, and black on the other. Here are some rudimentary pictures/diagrams to show the right wiring, as it is on my laser, anyway.

Hope this helps!
