I use XHC HB04W pendant with my mashine
(UC300+UCCNC+Neuron /by Shad/+ Oxyfuel)

I noticed that, When Cicle Start is active and G-code is run, realization of the user macroes when pressing buttons Macro1...6 is blocked.

But the possibility of immediate execution user macro when clicking the Macro button 1-6 of the XHC HB04W is necessary, for example, for interruption of a cycle of preheat metal at oxyfuel cutting.

Report whether it is possible to program it a standard method, using Macroloop, for example?


Thank you!

Here are some points you have to know about the user macros and the calling of them.

- You cannot run any macros while g-code is executing. It is normal, because in a macro you may do near anything, including executing g-codes. Imagine what happens if some movement is running and you start some other movements by running a macro.
- The pendant plugin calls macros via the Callbutton function, so in fact you can configure the plugin to call buttons.
- The button codes 20000 to 21999 are for user macro calls. That is how you can "connect" a button to you own macro (M20000.txt to M21999.txt).
- Buttons are also ignored while g-code is executing. There are only some exceptions like Stop, FeedHold, OffLine, FRO and SRO +/-, view settings, etc.

All the above information together: you can configure the macro buttons to run any button codes, but while g-code is running only those special control buttons will execute.

Hello!
Thank you for this information!
But if you look at the other side - for example we have a button #2752 which service inside my plugin. Plugin use this button for their internal needs (send any information to the controller for example or start/terminate any process, of course does not apply to the execution of the program).
How can this be done?

As I know, there is no way to do it, because UCCNC internally ignores any buttonpress while running. (Except the special keys.) Even if you program your plugin to catch keypress_event, that also will not be fired. It is because of the control logic.

I am about my buttons. This buttons are linked internally in to the my plugin and keypress_event work perfect.
Just I am guess that XHC HB04 plugin blocking ALL calls for Callbuttons during code execution?

Balazs!
In other words, is it possible to allow assign Callbutton function for the XHC HB04 buttons?

Andrew,
Sorry for the misunderstanding, now I see your problem. Only internal functions are called by Callbutton, macros are called by M+macronumber and this is not good for you.

I think I need to write my own plugin for this pendant
