OK...getting nowhere fast! ...I too have a chinese K40 style laser with MoshiDraw board...which is hopeless !...I just received the 2 axis 6560 board from Lightobject which I got to replace the MoshiDraw board...Can anyone please post a wiring diagram or details or pictures of what they have done on a similar machine ? I presumed that 2 axis was all that was required, and that the relay output could fire the laser...Is this incorrect ? I can't find a schematic anywhere for the moshidraw board..Anybody know if KCAM will support this board...or only MACH3 ?
All help very much appreciated !...there must be quite a few people out there now in this same position ! :roll:

Hi there,
if you wana change the K40 and get out of the moshi mess then you need to replace the moshi board with a different kind of controller I have used the DSP controller from lightobject and are very happy with the performance now. the moshiboard is both together the controller what just works with the moshidraw programm ( nightmare) and the stepper driver.
I mean it cost about $ 650 but it is worth it.
greetings
walt
