You need to stop that and free it up for your use.

By default the port is used as a serial console. Setup the Raspberry pi to use the serial port. It is not installed by default to allow more mounting flexibility if you don’t use a Raspberry Pi. Solder in the supplied connector on the bottom of the board. It connects the hardware UART on the Pi to the Nano. This can work as a HAT for a Raspberry Pi. Pulse is the signal and there is a ground pin if you need it. The upper white connector is for the laser on/off control. Make sure you have the right power for your laser module. VMot is the voltage that is supplied on the barrel connector. The lower white connector is for the laser power. If this controller is part of a laser you built, you are responsible for all aspects of safety. Evaluate the entire circuit including this controller to determine if it provides the safety you need. Enclose the laser with an interlock to remove power if covers or doors are open. Use safety glasses at all times power is applied. The firmware is not fail safe and the laser could fire at any time power is available to it.

Note: Lasers are very dangerous and no system is completely safe. Pololu makes very good ones, but much cheaper version can be found on eBay and Amazon. Insert them correctly or you could destroy them and possibly other items. This is designed to use Pololu compatible stepper drivers. Use this view to confirm the orientation (note the pin labels on the Nano. Contact me directly if you have questions regarding alternate controllers. While the pinout is the same it might need to be rotated 180 degrees. They can be used, but you might need to change a few components if the voltage is not 5V. There are several other controllers that share the same footprint. The controller is typically powered by the USB cable, but will automatically switch to the 5V power supply is the USB is removed.

Be sure to install it in the correct orientation. These are available from many sources and can cost as little as less than $4. The footprint is designed for an Arduino Nano.

Raspberry Pi Interface: This is an optional interface to plug in a Raspberry Pi or any compatible controller that shares the standard header connector.

Control Switch Connector: Feed hold and start switches can be connected to this.

Limit Switch Connector: X and Y limit switches are available on the connector with convenient ground pins.

Aux Power Connectors: There is a connector with the primary motor power.

The other is for the PWM signal to fire the laser.

Laser Connectors: There are 2 connectors.

5V Power Supply: 1 Amp power supply to power the servo.

Servo Connector: The connector is the standard pinout for most servos.

Typically this will be 12V, but can be run up to 24V if your parts are compatible with higher voltages.

Power Connector: A standard barrel connector for motor power for the stepper drivers.

This is compatible with all of my recent projects. Everything is pinned out for the default configuration of Grbl.

This keeps costs down and gives the user more options. It uses plug in modules (not included) for the micro controller and stepper drivers. The controller is designed for use with Grbl firmware running on on an Arduino Nano controller. It is designed for machines that are primarily 2 axis, but may use a servo for the Z axis. This a CNC controller I designed for small laser engravers and drawing machines.
