XHC-WHB04B-4 config difference was created by kello711
Is there a difference between the configuration of the XHC-WHB04B-4 and the XHC-WHB04B-6. I understand there may be more buttons on the -6 but I'm more concerned about the core functionality of the MPG wheel, axis selection switch, and the step scale switch. I got it working in Axis sim but not sure I have it working perfectly. I started out with the example config from the documentation page. I did notice that hitting the "W-HOME" button invoked a Macro 4 popup in Axis, which seemed odd.

See the "buttons" section:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man1/x...6.1.html#HAL%20USAGE

The default config is set up just to say "macroN" when you press a button.
If you want to do somethng when you press the button you need to change (debug, macro4) to a bit of G-code (or a call to a subroutine) that has the desired affect.
