Console screen keeps going while engraving

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility GRBL
1

I got a new laser, Algo Alpha MK2. When trying to run lightburn after connecting I get this message in my console that keeps running. After homing is oked
Homing
ok
PS:0.0
<idle/MPos:0:000:0:000:0:000/Bf:63,65535/FS:0.0/Pn:xyz/CL:0,0/

This just keeps running. Usually with my other laser while a job was running it stayed on the cut/layers screen.

I also tried to do an engraving and the engraving shifted up it was not in the correct spot. I have the start from set to absolute coordinance.
I think I saved the gcode and attached it.
Is this normal or is there something wrong.
console gcode.gc (5.0 KB)

You mean you have this line scrolling through the console all the time? Disable “query laser position” in device settings to solve this.

I have been looking, but do not know where to find query laser position to disable it.
Thank you

Ah, ok. You are not running the new 2.0 version. Then it’s no issue related to that version. Can you show the console window?

I was running the new version but my laser turned off partway thru my job. I reinstalled 1.7 and will update again later. This did happen with 2.0.1

I am not sure what I did but now when I start my Jon
B it stays on my cut screen as it did before. When I wrote this post as soon as I started my job the console
window opened?..
Thanks for your help. I do plan on updating again in the future

I was running it at the time this occurred,but then reinstalled the earlier version because I was using a brand new laser. Yesterday was the first time I ran it.

I am also trying to run a grid of my laser workspace. It says some things are out of bounds and will not run it. I think it is in the over scan so do I set that to 0 for this job.
