 h2. Wiring diagram 

 Here is a schematic diagram of how everything should be wired up (from the "forum":/boards/1/topics/26):

 This is without PWM connected. 

 h2. Laser ON cable 

 The laser-on cable, as it comes shipped with the laser cutter needs to have one wire wire switched over, from this:

 ... to this:

 It then plugs into the mainboard like this:

 h2. Y stepper cable 

 The Y stepper cable (with a 4-pin JST connector on the end) may be too short to reach the proper socket on the [[LAOS mainboard v0.3]] - this can be solved by manually splicing some extra wires, to extend it by about 15 cm:

 h2. Stepper driver orientation 

 Be *very* careful how you place the stepper drivers on the mainboard. Mistakes can blow up both the stepper driver _and_ the mbed controller! 

 Here is the proper orientation for the purple "StepStick" drivers:
