WHB04B-6 Manual Pulse Coder

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

There is a very similar MPG named PHB04B
PHB04B is called programmable.

And the doc say the display is four rows, 11+16+16+16 chars can be used.

If anyone gets the 4th row display something, please explain how to do that.

Okay, I'll try in a week

It seems You are working too hard, and dont have time

Meanwhile I have completed coding of the driver. There are still work to be done, but for basic movements it seems OK.

Needs some testing though:
please clone this repo and build the whb04b driver
github.com/smalla/linuxcnc
from the src dir run this command to load the necessary config files:
../scripts/linuxcnc ../configs/sim/axis/whb04b/whb04b-6.ini

it would be nice if someone is pointed me in the right direction on how this can be included in the mainline linuxcnc repository. Im not a coder, this is my first job done, so be patient.

Some ways to contribute are described here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html

You should just be able to submit a pull-request to the LinuxCNC github.
