Guidance Needed! Initial LinuxCNC/PncConf setup

You can either turn off autorepeat entirely for the computer, or I believe you could run a custom python script on startup of Axis (called from the INI file).

For reference, all QtVCP screens disable autorepeat by default. QtPlasmaC disables autorepeat entirely, and the other QtVCP screens disable autorepeat for just the jogging keys.

The only issue I can see is that when you close Axis, autorepeat would be still be disabled. There is probably a way around that, but it would likely require editing Axis files to do so.

In case it helps here's the code from /lib/python/qtvcp/qt_action.py:


# Some systems need repeat disabled for keyboard jogging because repeat rate is uneven
def DISABLE_AUTOREPEAT_KEYS(self, keys={'34','35','80','81','83','85','88','89','111','112','113','114','116','117'}):
for k in keys:
subprocess.Popen('xset -r {}'.format(k), stdout = subprocess.PIPE, shell = True)

def ENABLE_AUTOREPEAT_KEYS(self, keys={'34','35','80','81','83','85','88','89','111','112','113','114','116','117'}):
for k in keys:
subprocess.Popen('xset r {}'.format(k), stdout = subprocess.PIPE, shell = True)


QtPlasmaC does use these functions, we just call ' ' for the key which disables/enables them all.

ACTION.ENABLE_AUTOREPEAT_KEYS(' ')

and to disable

ACTION.DISABLE_AUTOREPEAT_KEYS(' ')

it looks acceptible.

Try adding isolcpus=2,3,4,5
Isolating 4 cores made a big difference with my 6 core ARM chip.

But don't stress if you can't improve on what you have,
