But even better would be to actually implement this axis-specific functionality in the configuration files

A new commit for linuxcnc2.6 synthesizes axis-specific buttons for
the pendant buttons named button-zero, button-goto-zero, button-half.

These can be specified when using xhc-hb04.tcl in the ini file with no additional hal components:

Code:

...
[XHC_HB04_BUTTONS]
...
zero        = ""
# synthesized per-axis buttons for zero button:
zero-x      = halui.mdi-command-12
zero-y      = halui.mdi-command-13
zero-z      = halui.mdi-command-14
zero-a      = halui.mdi-command-15
...

See the README and the updated ini file demos for example usage.

The git commit:
git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a...1269a04a51307c2152f9
will be available in new buildbot 2.6 debs.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi!
i am running with a xhc-hb04 pendant on master (2.7.0-pre0-680-gc72834b)
Its been running OK for some time but i have to be doing something wrong regarding the "Max. Velocity" together with the xhc-hb04.
When the pendant config is active the "Max. Velocity" gets put to 0 and i can't change it (slider locked).
This have happened before at times and then i messed with the pendant before starting linuxcnc and it worked.
Now i can't get it to work (after updating to above build) seems it would be possible to link some function on the pendant to the slider and set it to the DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 83.33 ini default value?
Attached is my configs if anyone have some ideas.
Greatfull for any tips.

Edit:
Seems like a race condition since it works some of the time when starting linuxcnc.

This is how its looking.

I haven't been able to reproduce the described behavior in a simulator -- If you can reproduce with a config that requires no special hardware or parport, please post a complete config.

Hy, I purchased reciently a HB04 (the model who has several "macro-n" buttons), but it`s behaviour is weird. When attached to the PC the first time and once edited hal and ini files, some features worked, but only for the first 3 - 4 times I launched Linuxcnc (2.6.1)... due to a unknown reason the device no more worked later, and the config is the same...

Then I ported the HB04 to a vmware Linuxcnc 2.6.3 (I readed there's bug fixes with HB04 ) but the result was the same, worked only for the first time :huh:

- Have anybody experience about reciving a defective HB04?
- Did anybody experiencied with loos connection with the HB04? The mine only shows 0.0000 in all DRO's

I tried to use the stand alone vers. of xhc-hb04 from the samples selection dialog, but nothing happens when I doble click on the launcher. I also noted that lsusb command doesn't work, and the HW GUI info utility shwows none USB devices attached all the time... :sick:

Thanks for everybody
