Im in the process of building a arduino pendant and while im using the mpg to jog my machine i can still move it with the kedboard arrow keys as well. I wanted to make the software ignore all keyboard inputs while im using the mpg.

Assuming you are still using Gscreen:

Try adding these commands to your handler file.
You have to figure out how to define self.jog_allowed
i assume you only use xyz

Code:

    def on_keycall_XPOS(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_XPOS(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True
    def on_keycall_XNEG(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_XNEG(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True
    def on_keycall_YPOS(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_YPOS(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True
    def on_keycall_YNEG(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_YNEG(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True
    def on_keycall_ZPOS(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_ZPOS(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True
    def on_keycall_ZNEG(self,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT):
        if self.jog_allowed:
             self.gscreen.on_ketcall_ZNEG(None,state,SHIFT,CNTRL,ALT)
        return True

Do you mean you modified gscreen.py it's self?
If so I would recommend doing it the way I showed so that an update of linuxcnc won't undo the change.

Hi Chris ,

Since i was just starting out with this gscreen modification i backed up the gscreen file that was located in the usr/ bin directory then proceeded to modify the original hscreen file ( your previous post shed some light on why i shouldnt have done that). Since im 99% done with modifying it is there a simple solution where i can move my modified gscreen file into my personal directory so i can use it then restore the original gscreen file so i can run other gscreen gui's ?What other options can you suggest at this point?
BTW Norbert confirmed my thoughts about the incremental jog feedrate question that you took part in trying to help out with so im all fixed up with that issue too.

Thanks
Jeff

Hallo Jeff,

in gmoccapy there is a option on the settings page to disable keyboard jogging.
I would recommend to add a hal pin, and if that one is True, not react to key events.

See on_key_event in gmoccapy.py for the check of the chkbox. Hal pin is handles very similar.
