xhc-hb04 does not communicate was created by billykid
Good morning, I bought an xhc-hb04 because mine had fallen and the wheel didn't turn well, but it still works. When the new one arrived, I immediately noticed that it stays on even when the PC is off, which the old one didn't. It's detected because if I remove the LinuxCNC dongle, it gives me an error. The working one has a chrome power button, while the new one has a plastic button. I think it's defective. What do you think?

Does it have the same USB ID as the previous one? Possibly you need to change the USB identifier in the config files, or possibly the udev rules.

Thanks, after a few tries I managed to get it to work, but only for a few minutes. Then it would disconnect and reconnect until it froze completely. Now the USB stick is no longer detected and it also blocks the mouse and keyboard when I insert it.

There have been recent updates to the driver. Which LinuxCNC version are you using?

Thanks, but the USB stick was really broken and it blocks any PC it's plugged into. I'm using the handwheel to modify it with an ESP32.
