 I appreciate all the help. This is a low-priority project and I don’t have much time to work on it and I‘m learning as I go here. I’ve tested all main powered devices for ground loops by individually disconnecting each ground and testing with an ohm meter. It appears that I took Gene’s

I wonder if there is some aggressive switch de-bounce happening. Without looking at your hal file, I'd bet there is a software debounce. If so it has to wait until it sees a steady-state on the pin for some period of time. Any random noise above some threshold would re-set the waiting time.

I finally got to do a little troubleshooting and here’s what I found: Key response on the keypad is never as fast as the on-screen UI but it is consistent. I’m guessing there’s about a 100-300 ms delay but that’s just a guess. Could this delay be due to the fact that this is a scanning keypad?

There does not seem to be any delay in the matrix_kb component: http://freeby.mesanet.com/matrix_kb.png Also even with default sserial error management you could only have 10 servo thread cycles (10 ms with a 1 ms servo thread) of delay due to failed transactions before a sserial error popup

I'm using an x-box gamepad to jog three-axis and it is 100% in user space. There is zero noticeable "lag" or delay. If there is a lag then it's a bug and not just the way it is. Even on a non-real-time system if something like a web server or a spreadsheet took 2 seconds I'd say it was broken.
