Tried typing by hand but then got errors. Pendant seems to be working fine though. What are those lines supposed to do?

Also, I figured out how to assign MDI to the macro buttons.

Not exactly sure as I don't have a pendant but it would seem that these would be to display spindle status and RPM on the pendant.

#net pdnt.spindle.is-on whb.halui.spindle.is-on spindle.0.on
#net pdnt.spindle-speed-abs whb.halui.spindle-speed-cmd spindle.0.speed-out-abs

and this might be to home all axis by pressing a button the pendant:

#net pdnt.button.m-home whb.button.m-home halui.home-all

and this might be to indicate on the pendant that the respective axis is homed:

#net pdnt.axis.X.is-homed halui.joint.0.is-homed whb.halui.joint.x.is-homed
#net pdnt.axis.Y.is-homed halui.joint.1.is-homed whb.halui.joint.y.is-homed
#net pdnt.axis.Z.is-homed halui.joint.2.is-homed whb.halui.joint.z.is-homed

But really I'm just guessing by looking whether the pin it's connected to is an input or an output pin.

[edit]
Have you looked for those missing pins in hal-show?

Thanks again. This has been a real help to me. I'm just starting on HAL configuration and have tons to learn. I will give halshow a try a bit later.

I am having similar issues with this component. I did however notice that the Product ID of the USB stick is not the same as what the component is looking for.
The component loads this

init  not waiting for device XHC-WHB04B-6 vendorId=0x10ce productId=0xeb93, will continue in 0s

lsusb reports this:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 10ce:eb70 Silicon Labs

The product ID is not the same. Could this be a problem?

Mine had the product ID eb93 which matched what was described for creating the UDEV file as in this link: linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/xhc-whb04b-6.1.html#UDEV Perhaps you could simply try to change it from eb93 to eb70 and give it a whirl. Does it work running as standalone as described here?: linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/xhc-...l#STANDALONE%20USAGE

Just guessing but I'm sure someone will come along that knows more than I do.

Seems like I have the wrong hardware here.

I think you have the wired hb04 instead of the wireless whb04. There is a man page for that one too linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/xhc-hb04.1.html
