Probe Basic and XHC-WHB04B-6 jogging issue was created by spacemanspiffee
Hi all, I'm working on moving from an older (Linuxcnc 2.8) Axis config to a Probe Basic config after getting a new spindle for my router.
I have successfully gotten the basics working and have even gotten the ATC functions mostly where I want them. (Huge thanks for the the starting point that is the Probe Basic screen set and all the macros)
I am running into trouble integrating my XHC-WHB04B-6 pendant. It works just how I want it to in the old Axis configuration, and in fact that configuration runs just fine under Linuxcnc 2.9 and the pendant works in that config.
However, in Probe Basic the pendant produces stuttery motion when jogging both in step mode and in continuous mode. It also will not register all pulses or clicks of the jog wheel when the wheel is spun quickly. If I slowly click the wheel in step mode (say 1 click per second) I get each step translated into machine motion, but if I quickly spin the jog wheel, I will only get a small fraction of the wheel clicks actually translating into machine motion.
General info:
- What Linux OS being used including kernel type?
> Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
> Kernel version: 6.1.0-44-rt-amd64
- What version of Linuxcnc is installed?
> 2.9.8
- What version of QtPyVCP and Probe Basic is installed?
> Probe Basic version: 0.6.6
- How did you install Probe Basic? Quickstart guide? Dev Guide?
> Probe Basic APT stable install following the guide here: kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/index.html
- Have you gone through your ini and hal files and compared to the sim config files to make any changes needed?
> Yes, Probe Basic is functioning, just the integration with the pendant is giving me headaches
- Have you added all of the necessary files in your config folder that probe basic needs to run?
> Yes
I attached the hal files ini files and pendant hal files for the two configs. (note i renamed the pendant.hal file for the Odroid config so that there were not two of the same file name)
Please take a look and let me know if more info will make the problem easier to diagnose.
Thanks!
