I recently got a Laser Master 2 from Ortur and when I get the ALARM 2 notification it won’t allow me to reconnect the laser. I was wondering if there was some way to reset the connection from the console or something I could change so I don’t lose it in the first place. My G54 is all zero’s I have no offsets and I’m using Absolute Coordinates. I’ve run the $RST=* command and it helped because the cutter used to just read out of bounds for no reason. Now the only thing is if it happens to go out of bounds I have to restart the software. It can’t reconnect to the laser. I’ve also run the G10 L2 P1 Y0 X0 to make sure I don’t have any offsets.
Right-click the ‘Devices’ button to reset the connection to the controller.
Can you show what you’re trying to run when you get the ALARM:2 ?
I’m not necessarily running anything. Even if I manually jog to the edge it still disconnects me and I have to restart the Ortur. The console readout (from me manually going to the edge) when it happens is
Starting stream
ALARM:2
On or near line 2:
Stream completed in 0:00
[MSG:Reset to continue]

Manually jogging to the edge will hit the limits, so yeah, that’s expected. If you use ‘Continuous Jogging’ or have $J jogging enabled in the device settings, it should check limits and prevent you from going outside them.
You can also just use the click-to-move feature, which clamps every move to be within bounds.
