So, if I understood correctly you recommend to use the existing keyboard and mouse (USB), then at the motherboard transform them to PS2 through a simple USB -> PS2 adapter, yes?
This is the simplest thing to do, so it would be great

, because one of the machines is at a customer and having to change the keyboard would be a mess, as the keyboard is placed on a nice panel, so any change on the panel size/geometry would be bad.

Thanks.

As far as I am aware, PS2 is just a 2 wire serial bus, same as USB, so the conversion is just a matter of the plug shape.

The difference is which motherboard bus it is connected to and that does seem to make a difference.

Got to be worth a try

regards

The web site from where that image was taken out says it all!

I will post back with more info, as I have a few of those in house.

Well, I was not able to place the keyboard working with the PS2->USB adapter. I tested 4, but with no luck so I quited.

I will place physical buttons to jog as it is the correct way to do it.

However I would like to ask if there is any way to disable the jog though the keyboard.

This will force the user to use the new placed keys.
Thank you

One way would be to put the following in a .axisrc file. That would only apply to one user, though (I think)

root_window.unbind("<KeyPress-Left>")
root_window.unbind("<KeyPress-Right>")
root_window.unbind("<KeyPress-Up>")
root_window.unbind("<KeyPress-Down>")

One user is totally ok.
Thank you!

If you want to look at a permanent all user solution, lines 2740 and 3099 in axis (at least in 2.8~ but won't be far out)

That will bring it back if the LinuxCNC version is upgraded (probably, it might depend on the way that apt does deltas)
I guess the way to be absolutely sure is to do both.

I should probably add jog-wheels to my lathe, for the opposite reason. It is very annoying that I can't jog when the pointer is over a GladeVCP tab. Also, the GladeVCP action-buttons now put Axis in MDI mode, which also prevents jogging.

I tried to implement this way and it didn't work.

Edit the inifile to add this line to the [DISPLAY] stanza:

USER_COMMAND_FILE = unbind.py

Create a new file named unbind.py in the same directory as the
inifile with the following contents:

root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Left>","")   # Left arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Right>","")  # Right arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Up>","")     # Up arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Down>","")   # Down arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Prior>","")  # PgUp
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyPress-Next>","")   # PgDn

root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Left>","")   # Left arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Right>","")  # Right arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Up>","")     # Up arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Down>","")   # Down arrow
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Prior>","")  # PgUp
root_window.tk.call("bind",".","<KeyRelease-Next>","")   # PgDn

You can do this in a ~/.axisrc file as well (for each user); using [DISPLAY]USER_COMMAND_FILE applys to any use of the modified inifile
