WHB04B-4 Lead Switch Issue

I had a read last night, will look at that some more this week and begin to work through it.

Lots of questions are springing up as I read due to unfamiliarity, but it's a place to start from. 

Id really appreciate it if I can have your compiled file, I can  verify the improvements you made and have an easier time on the machine until I get to a point where I'm implementing my own additional changes.

Thanks for your help... 

Sure, this file should go in the /usr/bin driectory

hopefully it works for you,

I think you should be able to run it from a terminal window

xhc-whb04b-6 -ue

and it will print out events when you press buttons on the pendant. 
 

Hi Slammers

I have installed a RIP linuxcnc system.(V2.9)   I now have the pendant driver terminal test mode working. I have added a few changes to pendant.cc and used a make command to recompile linuxcnc.

regards implementing these changes- did you compile just the driver or do a make linuxcnc ?

If there's a way to compile just the driver could you help me with the terminal commands and make file?

In terminal I attempted to  make the driver and obviously got an error, no rule to make target. I believe I need a make file - but I am a bit out of my depth here in terms of the content and syntax . I guess the submake file will give me some clues as to the content of the makefile ?

Thanks for the driver file - I will try that on my 2.8 machine later
 
Cheers Bally

 

Hi slammers

I tried your file but got an error trying to run the driver from terminal and same opening linuxcnc. 

Permission denied.

I simply renamed the existing file in bin and pasted your file. 

Any ideas?

Cheers Andy 
 

Did you check the file permisions are correct? It needs to have execute permisions. Use chmod to set the permissions the same as the file you renamed.

I think you can compile just a particular component but its been a long time and i do not remember how to do it, I will have to try and figure it out.

I think you can just do the following

cd into src directory then

make ../bin/xhc-whb04b-4
