Questions about XHC-HB04 pendant plugin

Hello,

I'm using UCCNC1.2031 with 2017 screen, UC400Eth, the XHC-HB04 jogwheel and have two questions about the plugin.

First: I can't use the "MPG multi" and "MPG single" mode. I can activate it in the jog menu, but nothing happens. Is it normal, that this modes don't work with the plugin?

Second: Is it possible to change the "MPG speed multiplier" in the plugin menu through a macro? It's always reseted to the standard value "5" at start of UCCNC. I want to change the jogwheel speed with the macrobuttons.

Thanks alot and kind regards,

Sven

I don't remember of the MPG multi and MPG single modes versus the XHC pendant at the moment, I mean if which modes are supported, but will look after.

Unfortunately you can't change the values on the plugin window via macros.
However the value should not reset to 5 on startup.
I have tested it quickly and on my PC it does not reset to 5, but the lastly selected value is used when I run the software.
These are the keys in the profile file which are the XHC pendant dependent values:

[XHC]
Filter=12
SpeedMultiplier=20
Macro1=500
Macro2=500
Macro3=500
Macro6=500
Macro7=500
Macro1FunctionEnable=True
Macro2FunctionEnable=True
Macro3FunctionEnable=True
Macro6FunctionEnable=True
Macro7FunctionEnable=True
Macro1Function=0
Macro2Function=0
Macro3Function=0
Macro6Function=0
Macro7Function=0

You could verify if the software saves the values with opening up your profile file and check the values after you close the software.

Thanks for the answer.

I have checked the saving of the last value "speed mulitplier". And you are right. The program saves the last value correctly, but only if the value is 25 and lower. When i type in a value like 100, it will not be saved in the config file, instead a "5" is written, when i close uccnc.

But the plugin and the jog wheel react on values of the speed multiplier like "100", with 25 the jog wheel is very slow.
Is there another way to adjust the speed of the jog wheel?

Kind regards,

Sven

Configuration/General settings tab page and press the configure plugins button and enable the XHC-HB04 pendant plugin.
However I'm not sure if the whb04 pendant is the same or something different, so I can't assure you that it will work, you will have to test.

No. The plugin for the XHC-HB04 pendant don't work with the XHC-WHB04-6 wireless pendant.

Dear Friends ,

could you please advise us how to set THC up and down with WHB04 pendant and his plugin.
All other functionalities of the remote control are OK and functioning well.
This has to be used for Oxyfuel cutting to set torch high up or down during cutting process.

We have tested to emulate OEM button 538 and 540 with keyboard without success.]

Please advise how to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Stefan

Strangely, I was able to do what I asked, but I think the functionality that is plugged into the plugin is very strange. According to it, you have to have one button for UP On another button that UP Off and DOWN On/DOWN Off can only be set by a diveloper who has never seen a machine.

You could connect the buttons to two macros where you can call 538/539 depending on LED 238 and 540/541 on LED 239.

Code: Select all
if (exec.GetLED(238))
  exec.Callbutton(539);
else
  exec.Callbutton(538);

(In case of I understood what you wanted. :))
