Same goes for ULN2003A, on PIN8 (GND) I'm getting also around 3V.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what to do next.

I've started with assembling my own scanner but I'm running into problems.
I've tried everything on Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 and Raspberry PI 2 Model B V1.1 and can't get lasers to work.
I've only connected lasers and they don't work, and I'm also getting weird voltages, ULN2003A giving 2.7V on pin8/gnd and 2.7V on out1 and 2.4V on out2? 
Can I find somewhere what should I be getting?

The camera is working.

Also I've followed this wiring diagram, is something not right here?
