In your INI file you use in the section :
[HMOT]
CARD0=hm2_7i96s.0
The Hal file looks like in the Attachment My_Machine.hal
In your Hal, so i suppose is "hm2_7i96s" this value, please change it to "[HMOT](CARD0)"

  

The only reference I have in my configs (hal & ini) to the 7i96 is this line in <machine>.ini

[HMOT]
CARD0=hm2_7i96s.0

The .hal then uses [HMOT](CARD0) exclusively.
I will be happy to see your configs, as I really would like to fix that!

 

in the INI keep the Card "7i96s.0"
make the changes in the "hal" ( your_Machine.hal )
change "hm2_7i96s" to "[HMOT](CARD0)"

I will post my Configs tomorrow.

@CNC_Tux where did you change that?

The only reference to 'hm2_7i96s' I found in my configs is in my ini. I tried to exchange it as per above but that didn't work.

Can you maybe post your configs here? Thanks.

Now i found the reason about working and not working of the Jogwheel of the xhc-whb04b-6.
Its a issue with MESA 7i96S.
MESA 7i76e works without any problems, but with a MESA 7i96S is possible as well.
in a old configuration i found in the Hal ( was for MESA 7i76e ) "[HMOT](CARD0)"
in the new configuration i found "hm2_7i96s"
[HMOT](CARD0) is working in both configurations with the xhc-whb04b-6
i testet in the Linuxcnc Versions 2.8.4 and 2.9.2 .. in both Versions is working
My Configurations was made with Pncconf
The Inputs and outputs is to write in this way for using with 7i96s :
"[HMOT](CARD0).ssr.00.out-02"  for output
"[HMOT](CARD0).inm.00.input-01" for input

My suspect is the issue the driver for the MESA Card 7i96S !
The solution is to change "hm2_7i96s" to "[HMOT](CARD0)" in your Hal

Hello Andi,
thank you so much, i know the Video of talla83, this guy is a pretty well teacher of Linuxcnc.
Today i tested a lot of things it different versions of Linuxcnc, and i have a hot suspect of the source of this problem.
With the version 2.8.4. with a configuration of a Mesa 7i76e is working very well, with the same configuration but with a Mesa 7i96S doesnt work the Jogwheel of the xhc-whb04b-6.
I rewritten the configuration by of the Mesa 7i76e to a Mesa 7i96S manually and its working too.
My big suspect is the pncconf program, i am sure here get the Hal a value that prevented to work the xhc-whb04b-6.
Tomorrow i will check something about the values in the hal, because i need to understand the source of the problem.
I will report my experience.
I see, a lot of people here has exactly the same problem.

hello i have the same handwheel... works fine for me

followed this guide

Hello friends of LinuxCNC,
i have exactly the same problem, with the XNC-WHB04B-6 ....... all buttons and switches are working, but i cant move any axis with the jogwheel. I think something is wrong in the code, because today i tested different versions of LinuxCNC
LinuxCNC 2.9.2 the WHB04B-6 jogwheel isnt working
LinuxCNC 2.8.4 the WHB04B-6 jogwheel isnt working
LinuxCNC 2.8.3 the WHB04B-6 jogwheel is working !!

Has anybody a solution to fix this problem ?
Thank you so much in advance for further informations.
best regards
Reinhard

Please take a look above mentioned log in my post if pinout naming and ports is relevant to NVEM pinout

Download the config files here, and select what ever board you have

Follow the directions here to upload your config over ethernet

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask for help, I am on linux 2.9 pre and I was trying to make the pendant XHC WHB04B-6 to work following a tutorial by talla83 on youtube. 

Seems that the driver had to be updated for linuxcnc 2.9 so I tried, but it didn't work so I started messing with permisions and at the end I couldn't even launch a terminal, then I just unplugged and restart, and now appears on the screen the following:


Enter help for a list of built in commands


(initramfs)

Did I brick it or can be saved somehow?

Thanks in advance

I am seeing the same thing on a wired pendant that I'm desperately trying to get running on a Tormach...  any more information available???

Erik (and the rest of contributors too!) - 
Thanks for all the hard work on this topic and sharing what you learned.  I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this running on my Tormach 1100 machine.  My understanding is that PathPilot is basically LinuxCNC with some customization so I'm pretty sure most of what you have found will be applicable.  However I'm stuck at square 0...  
I have followed the video and can see the wheel with the lsusb command, but the xhc-whb04b-6 command comes back with the command not found error and I can't seem to find where I can download/install the driver for the pendant.  I have been trying to find it on github, but can't seem to figure out how to get this.  I need to figure out where things are and then use the command interface in a terminal window as github doesn't seem to be playing nicely on chrome on my tormach and I really don't want to go yet one more layer deep into this multi day and numerous hour long journey... 
Any guidance at all is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

After lot's of thinking, asking questions, and some logic, I managed to solve this issue using two simple steps:

- to make the pendant button s-on-off start the spindle with the same speed as the GUI button before the S word is defined, add RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = Sx to the [RS274NGC] section of your INI file where x are the same RPMs as specified in GUI for Spindle Starting RPM (6000, for example).

- somehow, the pendant button s-on-off starts the spindle and also increases the RPMs for about 100 RPMs. In our example, the GUI would start the spindle to 6000 RPM while the pendant would start it to 6100 RPM. To avoid this, comment the following two lines in xhc-whb04b-6.hal:

# net pdnt.spindle.increase whb.halui.spindle.increase halui.spindle.0.increase
# net pdnt.spindle.decrease whb.halui.spindle.decrease halui.spindle.0.decrease

After these modifications, pendant s-on-off starts the pendant to the same speed as the GUI and the Spindle+/Spindle- buttons work the same way as in the GUI.

I hope someone will find this useful.

You could create a custom python component to control the spindle using the python interface
