  The control board is OK as the voltages measured correct, so the problem has to be with the laser driver.

  @Gand' The EleksLaser is a much better choice to extend. I would not suggest trying to expand the EleksDraw as it's design would not be stable.

  @danieledm

  I think you need to do more reasearch before spending $230US in a project that could be done with a drill, scoring tool and straight edge.

  @LaserJack I agree, the design is OK for a laser but poor for a CNC. It will work at slower speeds but soon cause excess wear on the assembly.

  @nottingham82 thanks for that... I think however that given the price versus performance I am leaning towards the 2.5w until I gain a bit more experience with the machine and software... and I will be avoiding banggood like the plague given the feedback I have seen! They seem just as bad as the Chinese seller I had on eBay.
  @Zax ... hadnt realised the CO2 wouldnt do metal so thanks for the heads up... and just scared the bejesus out of myself looking at the price of the fibre lasers! lol... pretty sure I would be on the way for a divorce if I purchased one of them!!

  Anyways... thanks for all the input ... it has been most illuminating and has definitely helped me make the choice so for now I will order the 2.5W module and grab Zax's trial software initially and watch this space for my first burn!!

  @middlechamber That's good, you can use my custom firmware or replace the board with a Mana SE.

  @PhotonPhil Yes, you would likely need to tie the grounds together although it isn't always required depending on the circuit design and where they are getting power (wall outlet).

  You can always do a low power from software, which is better anyway.

  So.... final update on this I think.... I have raised a complaint with ebay to get a refund as the seller Comyur just kept trying to fob me off with a few quid refund as long as I closed the case... that WASNT happening... then...to my surprise they sent me a message via ebay but from a DIFFERENT seller ID of 2015happydeal asking me to close the case and again offering £10 compensation!!! It would appear that this shady seller has more than one ID and to circumvent their request showing on the ebay case they have contacted me using an alternative ID.... f@#/@#ng Cheeky b#@st@#ds! lol

  Needless to say I do not expect to get either a return label or funds to post it back to them by tomorrow and hopefully ebay will get me a refund whereupon I will simply buy a new kit ....probably from this site as it seems to be a lot more reputable than these Hong Kong Shysters! Thanks to all that have helped with this though!
