WHB04B-6 Manual Pulse Coder

I didn't see it until I grep'd through it... but I do see those values listed as parameters. Must be different than a pin, since I can't seem to read them directly. I'll go have a look at the docs and see what I can find.


I am also working on getting smalla's driver working too. After some tweaking I have jogging & buttons working. The display is not...

These are parameters, not pins so toward the end of your list:

27 float RW 0 stepgen.0.maxvel
27 float RW 2780 stepgen.0.position-scale

You can make the list a lot smaller with:

halcmd show all stepgen

MachineKit seems to employ a component for accessing these parameters as pins: HAL_PRU_GENERIC

www.machinekit.io/docs/man/man9/hal_pru_generic/

Again, I don't see a LinuxCNC equivalent...

But I think it is a moot point (at least as far as I'm concerned)...

I've managed to beat smalla's code into submission and have a working display and jogging in the master branch. Still some cleanup to do, but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
