WHC-WHB04B on a lathe was created by Wusel
dear all,
Iam just about to finish my installation of the WHB04B-4 pendant. As usual it took a while with lots of reading, trying, failing. It runs on LinuxCNC 2.8 with a Mesa7i96s card.
Here are the questions:
1) on the display I see X1,Y1,Z1 on the first screen. I only have X and Z , can I get rid of the Y1 being displayed?
2) on X1 it shows the radius but I would like to display the diameter.
3) the spindle on-off button turns on the spindle alright but it won't turn it off again. I had hoped that this is a toggle switch. When I watch spindle-o and spindle-off in the hal monitor only spindle on is triggered
any suggestions how to improve on these topics?
regards
Rainer

Are you referring to the display on the pendant itself, or the LinuxCNC GUI?

hello andy,
I am referring to the the display on the pendant. On the computer screen ( I am using axis) I see radius and diameter on the display. All the other pendants have no display so I couldn't complain but with the display on the pendant I might get used on that one and then I prefer the correct number shown- diameter

I looked through the docs, and the actual code:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...mps/xhc-hb04.cc#L667
And I don't see any way to put it in a lathe mode.
The conversion to diameter could be done in HAL, simply by doubling the values before passing them to the component.
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/scale.9.html

thanks for your thoughts;
the doubling of the value seems a good solution, I'll give that a try

Also in HAL, you might be able to wire the "Y select" to select axis Z.
So instead of XYZA the axis selector is XZZX (or similar)
ie alter this section
To change the mapping of the selector.
This probably needs an "or2" HAL component and a bit of wiring if you want to do more than just have the "Y" position control Z.
