ESC Key

[rguertin]

Is there a way in your next iteration of CNC12 to make the ESC button a choice between yes or no to continue.
I know this may sound foolish but I've cancelled many runs with this key being hit by mistake.
Thanks

Sometimes, you need to hit ESC 4 or 5 times to get back to the top menu. I'd hate it if that became three individual keystrokes to backup a single level. Maybe ask for confirmation only if a program is running.

I have even removed the confirmation of the enter key in my PLC

So I do not like to be asked if I really want to do what I am doing

I forgot to mention what tblough mentioned, "only when a program is running". That would be great.

What are you doing with the keyboard while g code is processing?

Cycle Stop must immediately stop IMHO.

If you do not want to be able to cancel a CNC program by pressing the ESC key, you can edit the PLC program to remove it.

Find the section somewhere below line 4100 that looks sort of like:

Code: Select all

;--MPU11 Jog Panel Key Functions
IF (CycleCancelKey || KbCycleCancel_M || SkinCycleCancel_M || MpgResetKey_M ||
  CycleCancel2 || SkinRestartCycleCancel_M || ExtUsbCycleCancel_SV) ||
  ErrorFlag_M THEN (DoCycleCancel)

Delete the reference to "KbCycleCancel_M" (which is the ESC key) and its associated OR ("||") operator, then recompile.

Do you really want to do that Uwe?

I have removed countless lines of code from the stock macros as all the questions just slow me down.

Yeah, I would have never be able to win a race if my bike would have asked me:

Do you really want full throttle?

Do you really want to brake this hard?

Next gear? Please confirm
