Sorry I did it again...You are right self.emc is wrong.
I'm copying and pasting code from another program.

You are a linuxcnc coder now!

Haha don`t think so...

ow I do not get any error message on the Terminal (the print messages are displayed).

in my last post means, that I do not get any error on the shell, but the behaviour remains in master 2.8.:dry:

Thanks, that did the job.
I attach both xembed files, for 2.7 and 2.8, maybe it is helpful for someone.
Best wishes.

Hello,
three years later, I am facing the same problem again. I have a new machine which I run with Linuxcnc 2.8.2.
The Glade panel is still the same, and I use the XEMBED.py file we created for LinuxCNC 2.8 Master back then.
That's how the machine behaves:


- Pushing the arrow key for x+ or x- , moving the mouse into the glade panel and then releasing the arrow key ==> release not detected
- Moving than with the mouse out of the glade panel and hitting the arrow key once again ==> release detected and machine stops
- Pushing x+ or x- arrow key, moving the mouse into the glade panel and then releasing the arrow key ==> RELEASE DETECTED!
- Then pushing the arrow key y+ or y-, moving the mouse into the glade panel and releasing the arrow key ==> release not detected
- Moving than with the mouse out of the glade panel and hitting the arrow key once again ==> release detected and machine stops
- Pushing y+ or y- arrow key, moving the mouse into the glade panel and then releasing the arrow key ==> RELEASE DETECTED!
- But then the release of x+ and x- is not detected anymore... and so on...
I have again created a video with key logging and open terminal for debugging:



Here is the code of the Xembed file:

And if you turn off the keyboard arrows, and instead draw buttons on the panel
Warning: Spoiler!

That would be a workaround, but not a good one. The machine is too big:

 

I need hardware keys which I can use without looking on them ;-) 
The next step is then to put the electronic handwheel from the scrap back into operation.

 

Until then, however, I would like to keep the cursor keys. Do you have the same problem when using the hardware arrow keys?

Best wishes

I think that the old pendant looks like too much work.

So, consider buying one of the XHC-type pendants that LinuxCNC already supports.

If its a standard MPG encoder and the axis selection and scales are hardwired , its quite easy to wire it into a Mesa MPG input (eg on 776e).
I use a 433Mhz wireless pendant with a receiver box that is all hardwired into a Mesa 7i76e. There is a MPG example in the docs which will guide you. I use binary coded inputs that output a logical bitmap which I decode to save a few pins.

I love to give things from the scrap a second use. The handwheel is built like a tank and actually too good to throw away. It is a normal encoder and rotary switches without any electronics installed. I will try to put it into operation, but if I can't I will gladly fall back on the XHC variant.

I have now test updated to Linux MX and Master 2.9. Also here I have with e.g. the GladeVCP example from PNCCONF the same dangerous behavior. Does no one but me use Axis with a Glade side panel and arrow keys? The Xembed file (see attachment) looks different in Master, but I don't know where to start to solve the problem.
