Modbus/USB keyboard

[Ruslan]

Hi. I already made keyboard for uccnc. It work as USB hid keyboard for all letters and numbers and as modbus device for functional buttons. Now I'm interesting if I can leave only modbus protocol for all buttons. Can uccnc software handle key pressings of alphabetical and numerical symbols during editing nc program or entering data to mdi window?

You could try mapping the Modbus inputs to virtual hotkeys using a software layer. Something like AutoHotkey or a custom firmware on your keyboard might help. You can find more information in this below discussion!

I don't understand your question about what characters are you talking about, but you can test it with inputting the required characters into the MDI and into the NC program in the code editor to see if it handles it or not.
