It’s upgrading time now need to figure out where I am going to wire the laser dot and the lights for the laser

Some useful information:
The LPS capacity
… 5VDC @ 1 amp-
… 24 VDC @ 1 amp-

-------------------
Most of the LED strips run on 12V and that is not provided by the LPS.

I would add a +12VDC supply because I do not think either of the voltages on the LPS would have extra capacity.

You can also just use a 12VDC brick and plug it into a power strip. I did that for quite a while.

----------------------
In case you plan a controller conversion:

For my smoothie conversion I have this power design:

LPS DC ;
5V:
…Switch LED’s-
…AC relay driver-
24VDC:
…Z lift table stepper-

Add on supply’s:
12VDC @5A:
…Finder LED-
…Cabinet lights-
…Temperature meter/controller-
…Future 12V devices like water pump
24VDC@5A:
…Smoothie which drives stepper and display.


Lots of choices for cheap supplies on amazon and ebay.

I use old computer power supplies because I have them lying around.

I’m sure you know, but you need to have a constant load (resistor) on the 12vdc on those supplies to get reliable power.

Don the constant load should be on the 5vdc :slight_smile:

@Kevin_Oakes whoa you are right on the 5V MY BAD but is the 12V that will go wacky … at least on mine.

Yes that correct. I normally put a 5v fan on the 5v rail to stabilise the 12v. I make them up for 3d printers as they have a lot of protection in them that I wouldn’t rely on getting from these cheap Chinese psu’s. I then use 5v 5v load (fan) to cool the printer control board so the load isn’t wasted :slight_smile:

You can check the psu v output is right apparently by testing the voltage of grey and negative. If that reads 5v then the 12v 5v and 3.3v are right. I’ve never tried it but read about it.
