Hi
I bought me a wireless pendant for using with LinuxCNC. Type: XHC WHB04B-6.
After surfing on the internet I found a GitHub and some threads about this pendant. After the build of the example code, i tested the connection with the pendant. The PC is not able to connect with the wireless stick over the USB connection.
Please find below the already read threads:
forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/317...hc-whb04b-4?start=20
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...pulse-coder?start=20
GitHub:
github.com/rubienr/machinekit/blob/featu...c-whb04b-6/README.md
github.com/ctbenergy/linuxcnc/tree/2.7-f...r_comps/xhc-whb04b-6
If you want, I can chare my binary file
Is there anyone that can help me with get this working for LinuxCNC?
Thanks!

Which version of linuxCNC are you using?

Does the problem seem to be with LinuxCNC or with the OS wireless connection?

Hello
Thanks for your answer. I use LinuxCNC 2.8.0.
At this time it is a HALL component problem. The buttons from the pendant are working ( I checked this with the Hall meter) but the MPG doesn't work... when i check this with the hall meter, the value stays zero. I used the template from Github: github.com/ctbenergy/linuxcnc/blob/2.7-f...ple-configuration.md
I changed al the AXIS tot Joints.
But that doesn't the trick.

Which pins are you looking at with halmeter? Is it possible that the MPG has more than one set of output pins?

(Looking at the docs, though, it does seem pretty clear that it should be "jog-counts")

Joint.0.jog-counts. Stay 0..

net pdnt.axis.0.jog-counts whb.axis.0.jog-counts joint.0.jog-counts

I think the problem is inside the XHC-WHB04-6 driver?

It could well be. I don't actually see where in the code the jog-counts are updated.

Do you get any activity in any of the XYZ selector positions, or the feed / spindle override positions?

Hello
Thanks for your answer. Now i go a step further... but is not yet working.
The jog-count (joint.0.jog-counts) is incrementing when i turn right and decrementing when i turn left. So this works now. But the machine is still not moving.
Some data:
joint.0.jog-enable = 1
joint.0.jog-scale = 2
joint.0.jog-vel-mode = 1

You could try a smaller jog scale. 2 (mm / in) per count is a lot.

Are you using the 2.8 version of LinuxCNC? If so then you also need to connect the axis..jog-* pins too.

An example:
setp axis.x.jog-enable 1
setp axis.z.jog-enable 1
net selected-jog-incr joint.0.jog-scale axis.x.jog-scale joint.1.jog-scale axis.z.jog-scale
net jog-x-counts joint.0.jog-counts axis.x.jog-counts <= hm2_7i73.0092.enc2.count
net jog-z-counts joint.1.jog-counts axis.z.jog-counts <= hm2_7i73.0092.enc3.count
