xhc-whb04b-6 - Non-realtime jog dial HAL component for the wireless XHC WHB04B-6 USB device.
xhc-whb04b-6 [-h] | [-H] [OPTIONS]
The xhc-whb04b-6 HAL component supports the XHC WHB04B-6, a 6-axis wireless USB pendant. It provides a number of push-buttons, a jogwheel, two rotary buttons for axis and speed / step selection and an ordinary LCD display.
The LCD display, having a very simple firmware interface, indicates the following listed information only. No other information, such as custom data, can be printed.
• Activated axis (X, Y, Z, A, B or C)
• Current axis position of X, Y, Z and separately of A, B, C.
• Whether machine (X, Y, Z, A, B or C) or relative (X1, Y1, Z1, A1, B1 or C1) coordinates are displayed.
• Step size or velocity depending on the operating mode (MPG or Step or Continuous).
• Feedrate override
• Spindle Feedrate override
• Machine state such as reset.
• Battery level
• Wireless signal strength
The pendant display, its rotary selector switch, and the component pin names use designators x, y, z, a, b and c. While this arrangement presumes a machine configured as X, Y, Z, A, B an C, the pins can be assigned independently as required in a HAL configuration.
-h, --help
Prints the synopsis and the most commonly used commands.
-H
Run xhc-whb04b-6 in HAL-mode instead of interactive mode. When in HAL mode commands from device will be exposed to HAL’s shred memory. Interactive mode is useful for testing device connectivity and debugging.
-s
Lead + jogwheel changes the spindle override speed. Each tick will increase/decrease the spindle override.
-f
MPG + jogwheel changes the feed override. Each tick will increment/decrement the feed override.
-B
Add 5 mm and 10 mm to Step feedrate output
-t
Wait with timeout for USB device then proceed, exit otherwise. Without -t the timeout is implicitly infinite.
-u, -U
Show received data from device. With -U received and transmitted data will be printed. Output is prefixed with "usb".
-p
Show HAL pins and HAL related messages. Output is prefixed with "hal".
-e
Show captured events such as button pressed/released, jog dial, axis rotary button, and feed rotary button event. Output is prefixed with "event".
-a
Enable all logging facilities without explicitly specifying each.
-c
Enable checksum output which is necessary for debugging the checksum generator function. Do not rely on this feature since it will be removed once the generator is implemented.
-n
Force being silent and not printing any output except of errors. This will also inhibit messages prefixed with "init".
The xhc-whb04b-6 executable needs permission for reading the pendant’s USB device. There may be the need for additional udev rules. If so, this file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xhc-whb04b-6.rules should be created with the single line ATTR{idProduct}=="eb93", ATTR{idVendor}=="10ce", MODE="0666", OWNER="root", GROUP="plugdev".
The xhc-whb04b-6 program can be run from the command line without LinuxCNC to test a pendant. This standalone mode is used to identify the button codes produced for each button press and debug transmitted USB data.
xhc-whb04b-6 -ue
Start in simulation mode and prints incoming USB data transfer and generated key pressed/released events.
xhc-whb04b-6 -p
Start in simulation mode and prints HAL pin names and events distributed to HAL memory.
xhc-whb04b-6 -H
Start in HAL mode (Normal mode for real machine use).
xhc-whb04b-6 -HsfB
Start in HAL mode + Spindle Override + Feedrate Override + Big step (5/10 mm).
Use the -H option to specify HAL mode and other options as required: loadusr -W xhc-whb04b-6 -HsfB
Note: For each button an output pin is provided even if no functionality is realized with that signal. For example, to stop a running program the Stop button pin may be directly connected to halui.program.stop. However, to start/pause/resume a program, the corresponding button toggles besides whb.button.start-pause also the ‘‘whb.halui.program.‘‘{run,pause,resume} signals accordingly.
Note: The Spindle+/Spindle- buttons do manipulate the spindle override. The spindle speed is set with the respective combos Fn + Spindle- and FN + Spindle+.
The following tables list all in-/output pins and state which signals they are meant to be connected to.
Axis and Stepgen
Signals utilized for moving axis.
<N> ... denotes the axis number, which is of {x, y, z, a, b, c}.
whb.halui.home-all (bit,out)

whb.axis._<N>_.jog-enable (bit,out)

whb.axis._<N>_.jog-scale (float,out)
connect to axis.‘__<N>__.jog-scale‘. The distance to move for each count on "jog-counts", in machine units.
whb.axis._<N>_.jog-vel-mode (bit,out)
connect to axis.‘__<N>__.jog-jog-vel-mode‘. If false the jogwheel operates in position mode. The axis will move exactly jog-scale units for each count, regardless of how long that might take. If true, the jogwheel operates in velocity mode - motion stops when the wheel stops, even if that means the commanded motion is not completed.
whb.halui.max-velocity.value (float,in)
connect to halui.max-velocity.value. The maximum allowable velocity, in units per second (<N> is two digit 0-padded).
whb.halui.feed-override.scale (float,in)
connect to halui.feed-override.scale. The scaling for feed override value.
whb.halui.axis.‘__<N>__.pos-feedback‘ (float,in)
connect to halui.axis.‘__<N>__.pos-feedback‘. Feedback axis position in machine coordinates to be displayed.
whb.halui.axis._<N>_.pos-relative (float,in)

whb.halui.spindle-override.scale (float,in)
Connect to halui.spindle.0.override.scale. The current spindle scaling override value.
Feed
Signals utilized for operating spindle and feed override. The feed rotary button can serve in
• Continuous move x% from max velocity
• Step move x mm
• MPG override feed/spindle
• The special position Lead.
Continuous: In this mode jogging is performed at the selected feed rate. As long the jogwheel turns, the selected axis moves.
Step: In this mode the machine moves steps * wheel_counts at the currently selected step size and the current set feed rate in machine units. If the commanded position is not reached the machine keeps moving even the jogwheel is not turning.
Lead: Manipulates the spindle override.
MPG: Manipulates the feedrate override.
Note: As a consequence of 3 modes from manufacturer, switching the feed rotary button back from Lead revert to MPG mode, MPG mode is default mode at startup. Depending on the mode before turning the rotary button, the feed override results in different values. In MPG/CON the feed rate will change to 100%, 60%, ... and so forth. In Step mode the feed rate is specified in mm.

Buttons
For flexibility reasons each button provides an output pin even if no functionality is realized directly with that signal. The Fn button can be combined with each other push-button. This includes also RESET, Stop, Start/Pause, Macro-10, and Step|Continuous. By default the more frequent used orange buttons are executed, whereas blue ones (whb.button.macro-<M>) by combining them with Fn (press Fn first then button).
Button macro needs to be added to your INI and needs to be edited for your own use:

Exercise caution if using copy and paste of this example code from the online web docs. Certain characters are incompatibly encoded by the web site (minus becomes em-dash).

xhc-whb04b-6 developer documentation on GitHub
The CRC code function is not disclosed by the manufacturer. Thus the CRC value transmitted with each package is not checked yet. Feel free to help us enhance the component.
This component was started by Raoul Rubien based on predecessor device component xhc-hb04.cc. https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/graphs/contributors gives you a more complete list of contributors.
The component was developed accidentally as leisure project. The development started with the xhc-whb04 (4-axis wireless pendant) implementation as reference. 73 & many thanks to the developers who delivered provided an excellent preparatory work!
