I am here to learn, I have a FSL Gen 5 hobby laser and I am about to convert it over to a Ruida controller and need to learn more about it. I use my machine as a hobby and also do some jobs on it for sale at times. my profile says I have a Ruida controller on my machine which is what I am going to have soon if all goes well as of now it is a gen 5 Full Spectrum Laser that they no longer support so that is my reason for the upgrade to the controller in it.

Hi Dennis,

I would take a look at the Russ Sadler K40 Xtreeem Video Series. It shows how to convert a K40 to a Ruida controller, but the process should be similar enough for you.

It's available on LaserUser.com in an easy to follow series with all of the relevant files.
