ok -- i updated git master to add a pin: xhc-hb04.stepsize-down
I investigated adding arbitrary sequences but the display only
seems to support certain numbers displayed in the increment position.
So, I also added a few additional sequences.

Nice thanks man I don't have the pendant just yet but I plan to get one as
soon as I can swing one. Hopefully soon. It's something I have been
wanting for the vmc for awhile now. Appreciate your work on implementation
into Linux cnc. Peace

XHC HB04 pendant has hal pin step-up, while it is more convienient way
to approach some position by stepping increment down.
How to change this?

Manually upgrade your production database.

the only reference i can find to stepsize is in the ini
step= xhc-hb04.stepsize-up
i cannot find a reference to stepsize in either of the tcl files either , i
dont think it's going to be as easy as changing to stepsize-down
so we shall await Dewey's thoughts

This Pendant looks very promising and I am pleased to find that the
LinuxCNC Gods have smiled upon it and tried to integrate it. I am wondering
how you guys find the quality of this unit. I am also wondering about the
wireless nature of the unit. Do you find it works pretty well immediately
etc?
the only difference is in the wireless , other than that they are identical
iv'e had mine for about 6 weeks ( hb04 ) and it works fine .
given one niggle , the update of the lcd can at times , be slightly delayed
but give it half a sec to settle and it's fine .

Dave,
Thank you for the review of the pendant. Can you clarify the comment
about the indent click? What do you mean here. MPG's all have clicks that
determine the step what do you mean indent click? what features other than
just axis select, step distance select and MPG movement have you
Pete,
no the unit is quite solid , like i said as far as the indent click it's
probably because i'm used to the more expensive MPG's , it's fine
the unit switches on by the silver button as a precaution more of a inbuilt
safety , the unit is configurable so if you want to make a button do
anything
excellent thanks for the detailed information..

XHC HB04 pendant has hal pin step-up, while it is more convienient way
to approach some position by stepping increment down.
The hal component (src/hal/components/xhc-hb04.cc) provides
hal pins for button-step (output) and stepsize-up (input) that
are conventionally connected with the signal
Agreed that sounds like the right approach to me. Does it reference the
step settings we have in hal or does it override them for those that you
spec'd in that posting? I have only .01, .001, and .0001 right now and
honestly I like that simply because of the speed in transitioning thru the
There are example configs for the xhc-hb04 (linuxcnc 2.6) in
