XHC-WHB04b-6 freeze in issue fixed !!

Dear Linuxcnc Friends,
the WHB04b-6 driver has a big issue, if you are in Automatic mode and a cnc program in running and you use the jog wheel, will be freeze in the WHB04b-6. That issue is a bug in the hal.cc ! Every move on the jog wheel try the driver to switch into the manual mode and the WHB04b-6 freeze in. I have fixed this issue with AI and compiled the driver new in the Version of Linuxcnc 2.9.10
The Driver works very well and in my Version is the maximum of Jogscale 0.1mm ( to much Jogscale is a crash risk )
You can download here the zip file, unpack and copy with sudo rights to your System in /usr/bin/
Dont forgett to set the rights for execute the files.

The fixed hal.cc is in the attachment, for the guys they want compile by himself.
Best regards
Reinhard
