  @dwi-kurnianto These machines use Grbl firmware which runs G-code, a very common protocol for CNC machines. You don't need a SDK for this, you send G-code commands via serial interface to the laser.

  @milkoglou You should look at a used Keyence, Rofin or Epilog fiber laser. They are over $20k new but you can find them used for around $2k.

  @Waddy That's good news, I'm glad you have it working and sure your findings will help others. Don't limit your machine by the software though, if you decide you want more - home switches, rotary axis or whatever just remember the hardware is capable.

  @shop2 The IV board isn't AVR based, so won't run Grbl or any typical software. It can only be used by an illegal copy of CNCUSB. Avoid it!

  I have installed Elekscam on a laptop running windows 7 64bit and all is sweet,but I need it to run on a PC. I have tried it on two computers I own both running win 7 64 bit and it just wont run . It installs ok but when loading the prog it stops after a couple a seconds and the message "EleksCAM has stopped working" comes up. I have tried everthing to resolve this but nothing works and both PCs will not load it. Any suggestions are welcome. Strange how my laptop has no problems but 2 PCs wont have it.

  I've checked as suggested by Zax and here is the result:
  1/ The lens assembly seems simple and solid. There is no loose part as I can see (see attached image)
  2/ Video clip showing the laser is focussed but it is weak. Also as I indicated from the beginning... I don't have the "weak light" anymore. Each time I press the weak light button the LED just flashing red but there is no laser at all.
  Here is the video link:

  @JayC Any Arduino Nano (or clone) will work, you should be able to purchase locally but of course I don't know where you are located.

  @Elvs-Bearzi All of the K40's are similar. You should expect to spend another $200~300 on upgrades to get a good machine.

  @davidwoodworker There are many options for software, I wrote T2Laser as an alternative and provide support for it as well as constant development. EleksCAM is obsolete (only works with the older firmware) and unsupported (has known bugs that aren't fixed).

  The Nano is a standard device with many alternatives, they are plug and play replacements. I have used Geekcreit, HiLetGo and others with good results - these all use genuine ATmega328p microcontroller's which are more reliable than the Chinese copies.

  Just bought mine A3 and start testing. Mine is only last a couple of tests and have the same problem like this poster has. I wonder if anyone has the answer yet. I really regret to buy this piece of s***. I feel like we have been cheated.

  @Tercel That looks like the L8 board, it's actually my favorite board. I use one in my 40W laser. What questions do you have?

  It works just like any other board, 3-axis similar to the newer Mana CNC (although this is better in my opinion). That blue component is a buck converter, just leave it in the 12V position (unused).
