Hello, I just bought a Benbox (I think, that the only thing it said in the auction) 500mW laser engraver off Ebay and I've been trying to get it working with no luck. I downloaded the benbox software and somehow got the laser to work for a minute on full power (when I tried to focus it, it started burning. Now the benbox software says it's disconnected and I'm lost. Do anyone have any idea how to get this thing to work ???

Here is the Ebay link if it helps...

I bought a Chinese laser recently. 3000mw. Just a bunch of parts in a box. No instructions or software. I found this site most helpful.

You have to upload the firmware into the controller.

Hope this helps
