I own the Deployable Laser System with the included Opt 15W laser. It’s an awesome system but I may need a bit more power in the near future. I own a J-Tech 24W module as well and I’m curious to know what it would take to swap them out - if at all possible. There are J-Tech laser Configuration Preset options in the Wizard\>Advanced\>PWM Setup page so clearly something jives. Would it be wired through the DLS control box? ---

I replaced the OPT 15W that came on the AVID deployable system with the OPT 45W. Works great. ---

I have done this myself for prototyping. It absolutely can be done. If you compare the schematics for J tech lasers to ours: [https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid\_diy/schematics/pbrowse.php?term=j%20tech](https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/schematics/pbrowse.php?term=j%20tech) [https://www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/laser/technical/24.2/schematics/](https://www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/laser/technical/24.2/schematics/) The wiring for the Jtech is nearly identical, and we have exposed all of the needed settings in “our” wizard when you choose “custom” You’ll have to come up with a mount for the deployable laser plate. I 3D printed one and it worked fine. It was a pretty basic plate with some threaded inserts. Nothing special. ---

I see a few Centroid schematics… Can I assume having a CNCDepot spindle with it’s Delta VFD qualify as the _Generic_ version?

Really all you need to worry about is this connector on our control box: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/a/a77b89e346d2a85ac2c7cf73027461154bb25cfb.png) > **[CRP5310-00-ELEC\_24.1.PDF](https://www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/electronics/ex/manual/pdf/schematics/24.1/CRP5310-00-ELEC_24.1.PDF)** > > 267.18 KB This is what brings the PWM signal out of the box. That’s what would need to get fed into your JTech box. NOTE: Our PWM is cut off by the control when the laser is NOT deployed. This is a safety feature. ---

No problem!
