XHC-WHB04B-6 and LinuxCNC 2.9.1

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

followed this guide

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.

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

@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.

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.

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! image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png
