XHC-HB04 wireless MPG pendant HAL module

Yeah it's a 3-axis. I modified the file to the best of my abilities but still not starting. i'll keep working on it.

Sorry, meant to do that last night. I think this is what you want. I'll be around all day if you need more info.

thanks

Pin 'halui.spindle.stop' was already linked to signal 'spindle-manual-stop'
while executing
"hal net pendant:half <= xhc-hb04.button-half => halui.spindle.stop"

this is the problem , you have it linked twice , is what it's saying , you can only link one

I had to fix that one and a few others before it would start up. I appreciate the help. I don't know how to use the pendant yet but I did some jogging and the z-axis runs shaky when using the handwheel. Looks like an acceleration setting because the other two run silky smooth....so I'll start looking into that.

I'm having a problem with my new xhc hb04. It's a wired unit. Turning the hand wheel clockwise moves as it should, i.e. 0.001 per click. However turning counter clockwise moves roughly 0.300 in the positive direction.

This is on a BBB with machinekit. linuxcnc 2.7.0~pre0

Running the 'xhc-hb04' command line utility gives the following:

It seems to me the counter clockwise click should produce -1 instead of +255

I thought I would apt-get update but there seems to be some trouble with that too:

W: Failed to fetch deb.dovetail-automata.com/dists/wheezy/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armel/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

which build of machinekit are you using on your bbb ,
i would concider grabbing the latest , that fix should be in the latest bbb build

Hello,

I have a working setup using the 5i25 by itself with the XHC-HB04 pendant. I'm trying to get a configuration going using the parallel port. The parallel port config works fine until I add the lines related to the pendant from the working 5i25 ini file.

Here is the error log. I can see that it's trying to link two pins to the same signal. I'm not sure what to do about it as it all works in the other configuration.

Any ideas?

Log Follows.

Thanks!
