WHB04B-6 Manual Pulse Coder

Thank for all so far,

I made some progress,

In Linuxcnc all buttons working, the first 3 is default, the rest needs setup.
The axis selector, and mpg jogging are working.

The scale/rate switcher is not working currently.
The secondary functions not accessible yet -with FN key.

Here I have some questions, how do You name a rotary switch which switches:
1X, 10X, 100X, MPG and LEAD.
scale? rate selector?

What do You think what does MPG and LEAD should do or what do they do on Mach3 ?

I still dont know what does second and eight column do, I might try the manufacturer.

I have WHB04B-4.
smalla, could you write short step by step manual?
or could you share your config folder?

There were too many changes to guide you step be step, if I remember well, need to change 9 files, basically I copied the xhc04 files as a base, and added/ changed the code for whb04. But it still a work in progress, buttons are all working, but no FN secondary functions yet. Display isn't working at all. I will attach the files here for reference, but won't support them. Need to copy the files to their location in the source tree, and build binaries for yourself.

Thank you. I'll try to improve it

for rewers inginering - on windows:
1. install mach3-demo
2. install USBLizer www.usblyzer.com/ trial (prefered) or free device monitoring studio freeserialanalyzer.com/features
3. do installetion instruction from WHB04B-4 CD:
3.1. Delete all file ShuttlePro.Vxx.dll in the directory mach3\plugins
3.2. Copy ShuttlePro-V5.32.dll files to the directory Mach3\plugins\ directory (parallel port card users please copy ShuttlePro-V5.51.dll driver files)
3.3. Copy the M930.m1s file to the..Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill directory
3.4. Copy the M999.m1s file to the..Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill directory
3.5. Copies of M200.m1s, M201.m1s, M202.m1s, M203.m1s, M204.m1s, M205.m1s, M206.m1s, M207.m1s, M208.m1s, M209.m1s to the directory ..Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill
3.6. Open the Mach3 Software.. click settings-> settings plug-in->ShuttlePro-V5.32-XHC-HB04B-FOR-MACH3,enalbe the plugin in front of the choice.
4 in software [2.] select your device and start capture
5 run mach3
6 do different actions with pendant and mach3 software

Several additional important things:

I.
MPG:
04 XX XX XX XX XX 02- XX - MPG +2
04 XX XX XX XX XX 03- XX - MPG +3
04 XX XX XX XX XX 04- XX - MPG +4
..
..
04 XX XX XX XX XX FF- XX - MPG -1
04 XX XX XX XX XX FE- XX - MPG -2
..
..
04 XX XX XX XX XX 00 XX - MPG idle

II.
when usb radio module is pluged in:
04 XX 00 00 00 00 00 XX
04 XX 00 00 XX XX 00 XX (if pendant is on)
when usb radio module is pluged out:
04 XX 00 00 00 00 00 XX
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

III.
Buttons:
04 XX 00 XX XX XX XX XX - no button is pressed

IV.
Buttons if "Fn" is pressed:
04 XX 0C 01 XX XX XX XX - Reset
04 XX 0C 02 XX XX XX XX - Rewind (Stop)
04 XX 0C 03 XX XX XX XX - Start/Pause
04 XX 0C 04 XX XX XX XX - OUT3 (Feed+)
04 XX 0C 05 XX XX XX XX - OUT4 (Feed-)
04 XX 0C 06 XX XX XX XX - OUT5 (Spindle+)
04 XX 0C 07 XX XX XX XX - OUT6 (Spindle-)
04 XX 0C 08 XX XX XX XX - OUT7 (Morigin <-)
04 XX 0C 09 XX XX XX XX - Safe-Z (/2)
04 XX 0C 0A XX XX XX XX - Probe-Z (Worigin <-)
04 XX 0C 0B XX XX XX XX - Spindle On/off
04 XX 0C 0D XX XX XX XX - Switch Coorinate

V.
from computer to device:
06 FE FD 09 XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
06 XX XX XX XX 00 00 00

for example:
06 FE FD 09 52 45 53 45 //.??.RESE//
06 54 20 20 20 20 31 58 //.T 1X//
06 58 3A 30 2E 34 35 32 //.X:0.452//
06 30 20 20 20 20 20 20 //.0 //
06 20 20 46 3A 36 20 20 //. F:6 //
06 53 3A 30 20 20 20 20 //.S:0 //
06 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 //. ...//
(2 ascii characters instead "??")

I suppose, you can put there any infirmation.
1st string 11 signs,
2nd string 16 signs,
3rd string 16 signs.
(in mach3: RESET(or several spaces), several spaces, step rate, current axis position, several spaces, feed, 2 spaces, speed, several spaces)
("RESET 100XY:-10.3400 F:1000 S:500 ")

I have forked the master branch on github to smalla/linuxcnc if anyone interested.
The code is in the process of properly handle the simultaneous two button pressing (fn).
The concept is that any button can be a function button, which defined in the config.
From the two buttons a unique code is generated (cantored) which identified and can be passed to linuxcnc as a pin.

Any help is welcome

I presume to use this with the GRBL project with own interface.
A little bit later I'll attach the project for Qt creator for using this device.
One problem: works under Linux, but under Windows 10 the libusb library gives an error on sending data "an incorrect parameter" (control transfer), although the get data is working (interrupt transfer).

libusb_control_transfer(handle, 0x21, 0x09, 0x0306, 0, data, 8/*sizeof(data)*/, 0);

Can You make use of the 4th row? It seems that I cannot send any data to the 4th row, so there is an empty row.

1st row 11 signs,
2nd row 16 signs,
3rd row 16 signs.
4rd row - not supported (I think)
WHB04B has a certain format of sent data
