"Busy" when using Keyboard to Jog in Carbide Motion

When using Carbide Motion (build 578 on my Raspberry Pi 4) with the jog set to “Fast” the keyboard controls cause constant hangs with BUSY on the screen. If I use the buttons in the software everything moves smoothly as expected.

This is basically ruining my use of the mini wireless keyboard I intended to use.

What gives?

I had the exact same issue using the TechKeys board. I played around with the keyboard repeat rate on the PI and it got better but not great.

It seems better in the X than the Y or Z. And often I have to change the speed and change it back to “wake up” one axis.

It is annoying that the keyboard doesn’t work correctly but the touch screen does.

I have not tried the latest CM release to see if it is better.

I have the issue with every keyboard. The mini wireless keyboard. A USB keyboard. With my laptop keyboard if I connect over VNC.

That was the tread I mentioned the issue in earlier.

I wonder if the jog dial would have the same issue.

Here is a video demonstrating that issue.
