WHB04B-4 Lead Switch Issue

I recently purchased a WHB04B-4 pendant. The majority of it works using LinuxCNC 2.8 except the lead function. When I turn the step rotary switch to lead, it does not produce the desired results.

I looked at the source code for this user component and it seems the issue is the lead switch position uses a different code for the 4 axis version of the pendant vs the 6 axis.

This link says that this issue was fixed and merged into the code in May, but the current version in github does not seem to conatain this change
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/987

Looking at the USB event, my device uses code 0x9B instead of 0x1C for the lead as shown in the current source code.

Does anyone know if this has been implemented and if so, how does one get the latest version that would contain this fix?
If its not released, is there any good instructions on how I can compile this module myself?

Thanks
Shawn

 

Which version of LinuxCNC are you running? I think that change should have made it in to 2.8.2.

You might need to refresh synaptic for it to notice the 2.8.2 version.
Which OS are you using? I might have forgotten to update the repo index.

2.8.2. I just downloaded and installed it a month ago.

I downloaded the souce code and this issue still exits in version 2.9.

I was able to make the change and recompile version 2.82 and fixed the issue.

Hello

Sorry if the actual patch does not work fine this is strange for me because i have test both situation.

If you have a working patch allowing the two value to be accepted, please can you ask a PR.

Best regards

Oh, I now see where you changed the code. Not sure why that does not work for me. 

I just changed line 335 in pendant.cc to use the other code and that works

lead(0x1c, "Lead", ""),   => lead(0x9b, "Lead", ""),  

I can try and add some debugging info to see why your code is not executed for me.

Your welcome, all patch and correction can be really appreciated.
