is there driver for the new XHC-WHB04B-4

Smalla, thanks for your reply

I' recompiled again and get working controller on 2.8.0 (LCD on controller works not correct - coordinates not changes)
May be i'm not correctly transfer compiled whb04b module from your fork to my production 2.7.11 ?

Which files i have to copy ?
1) All from config
2) ~/linuxcnc-dev/bin/whb04b

I'm not find whb04b_util.ko - only ~/linuxcnc-dev/rtlib/whb04b_util.so

Hi, it wont work with 2.7.xxx, only with 2.8.xxx. There is a whb04b.tcl file somewhere in the tree (search whb04b), that converts the joints and axes and build up the display. As 2.7 doesnt have joints, it would probably fail, You need to rewrite it for axes only.

there is no .ko file, as far as I remember.

Hello everybody,
Hello smalla,

ordered a regular (old) HB04 from China and they shipped a WHB04B-4 instead. Even though I really like the layout of this unit it does not work with my LinuxCNC 2.7.11 - Is there any progress in getting this to work with 2.7?

Thank you very much for your kind help!
Cheers!
Thomas

if you scroll to the bottom of the page in this subforum you will find my python component for the new WHB. I use it on production machine for over one month now and haven't had any issues.

Hello fixer,

thank you very much for your quick answer! Sorry.. but what page exactly should I scroll down to the bottom? Can you please gimme a hint/link? Thank you very much! Update: I suppose you refer to this: forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/361...4-4-python-component ?

How do I install it? Display still ain't working, right?

Thank you very much!
Cheers!

My code should work with the WHB04B-4 with some USB ID changes in the code, but only with LinuCNC v 2.8.
