Installing an optical eye

Hi there - we just got an optical eye today and now need to install the thing on to the liyu sc631 - are there any videos or manuals to show exactly where the thing is supposed to go and where the wires need to be soldered, how to get to the part in question - any help would be appreciated - should have just bought the one with the optical eye in the first place but there's nothing like a challenge hey!

many thanks in advance

When you say an optical eye.....is it just a red led by any chance?

no it is a laser with one red and one black wire attached and a seperate chip which i think needs to replace one that is already on the board in the cutter

no it is a laser with one red and one black wire and a 20 pin chip which needs to replace one that is already onboard inside the cutter

Uhm, mine had the red led with 2 wires....and a little circuit board, but its an led, you must have a proper one then! Not the same model so it is possible. Did it have one before and you're just replacing it?

I think you ma be quite disappointed

this is only red laser point help you with reg marks. as a guide. not good any way as beam is to large.

no not replacing it - my other half was being a bit cheap:) only kidding just decided i wanted one so he ordered it in now he has to fit it - he is pretty good technically (he is a MCP - so he knows his stuff - but this is kinda new and he doesn't want it going wrong so was just wondering if there were any tuts or manuals showing how to fit it in - thanks for coming back to me - much appreciated

Watch Pauls video on contour cutting without an optical eye. And yes, it does sound like you've been sold the red led we all have on our Chinese cutters

Justin, When you say LED do you mean simple red light coming out of the LED? Coz in my cutter is proper laser beam. is useless but still... its a laser
