Little newbie help please. New Laser cutter/engraver Project

Hey there, just found the site a couple hours ago and looked through a bazillion posts but just cant find the exact info I need.

Here is what i want to do. I would like to create a XY table for my 2Watt laser. also, I may be interested in doing a CoreXY arrangement if possible, or maybe an HBot. I am however ok with simple Cartesian if thats all I can do with RAMPS.

Here is what I have;

RAMPS board 1.4 I believe, complete with Drivers and Arduino Mega 256
several stepper motors that work with the RAMPS setup
12V 20Amp switching power supply
12v 2Watt laser with TTL 0-5v output control REAL 2000mw/2w 445nm 450nm Focusable blue Laser Module diode High Power laser Engraving TT L DIY CNC Adjust Free glasses-in Laser Equipment Parts from Industry & Business on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
M2 Belts and gears and such for attaching to steppers
bearings and such
8mm linear bearings and rods or various lengths

I would love to get started with what I have so far, by that I mean use the above hardware. I think from what I've read so far, Inkcscape and the JR Photonics plugin are a good start when coupled with universal g code sender.
I have built 3d printers in the past, working on a Delta as time permits, but I want to get this laser going.

What software should I put on the Arduino?
Is there a guide to do what I'm trying to do? (I can't be the first as most people converting a 3D Printer will be in the same boat)
Will the RAMPS work?
Can it control laser output via the TTL input on my driver?

I know that a lot of the stuff I listed does not pertain to this question, i'm just putting it all out there in case you think it might be useful .

Thanks for taking the time to read and help me, you have no idea how much I appreciate the time someone takes to help a stranger.

Looking forward to many more posts with like minded people, hope to hear some replies soon.

PS, I hope to start building this weekend...

Forgot to mention that I also have the Ramps LCD with the sd card thing on the back.

Is anyone reading this? is this thing on? lol
