1. Download "Zadig" software from http://zadig.akeo.ie/
2. Run the utility, select "Options menu" and check menu "List All Devices"
3. Select "USB HID" device in the list (Check USB ID "10CE:EB70)
4. Select "WinUSB" driver and press "Replace Driver" button, confirm river changes.
5. Restart myCNC software. Open settings dialog "Pendant/XHC", check if device "10CE:EB70" is
present in "LibUSB devices list" window. If device is present, myCNC software should get access to XHC Pendant control over "libusb" driver.
6. Check messages in "libUSB Debug Information". There are should be messages:
"libUSB: Device 10CE:EB70 opened"
"libUSB:XHC-HB04 device is ready"
7. Now myCNC software ready to receive button press events from XHC Pendant. Handlers for each button should be configured through this setup dialog. Let's setup a few XHC buttons as example.
7.1 Press button "Reset" on WHB04-L Pendant panel. Find led highlighed on XHC setup dialog. Assign slot "Job: Reset current pointer" for this button.
7.2 Press button "Stop" on WHB04-L Pendant panel. Find led highlighed on XHC setup dialog. Assign slot "Job: Stop running" for this button.
7.3 Press button "Start" on WHB04-L Pendant panel. Find led highlighed on XHC setup dialog. Assign slot "Job: Start running" for this button.
7.4 Press button "Step++" on WHB04-L Pendant panel. Find led highlighed on XHC setup dialog. Assign slot "Pendant Mul(*)" for this button. Pressing on this button will change Pendant wheel step.
7.5 Assign M09 PLC procedure to button "Macro-1". Press button "Macro-1" on WHB04-L Pendant panel. Find led highlighed on XHC setup dialog. Assign slot "PLC: Run procedure" and fill parameter with "M09/0". It means load PLC procedure "M09" and initialize PLC parameter to "0". PLC procedure parameter value desn't matter for this example, however parameter is mandatory according command syntax and should be given in command line.
7.6 Press "Save" button to save chnages, resteart myCNC software.
Hardkeys definition.
Binary inputs can be used as Pendant control buttons. Number of functions can be assigned flexibly to any of binary input, "Button-Press" and/or "Button-Release" events.
Dialog for hardkey assignment helps to add assignments, chnage binary input number, "presse" or "release" event and select Slot Procedure to run.
- "Undo" button. Till "Save" button wasn't pressed it's possible to roll-back to previous saved hardkeys settings by pressing this button.
- "Add" button. Press this button to add new hardjey configuration line. After new line added, it should be configured and saved. myCNC softwrae should be resterted to hardkey configuration takes effect.
- "Remove" button. Press this button to remove selected hardkey configuration from hardkeys list.
- "Save" button. Press this button to save hardkeys configuration to disk. Please notice that changes will take effect after myCNC software restart.
- Input Number - binary input number assigned as Hardkey
- "Pressed" - select this checkbox if "Key-Press" event should be handled
- "Released" - select this checkbox if "Key-Release" event should be handled
- "Slot" - handler procedure
- "Parameters" - if handle procedure requires parameters it can be set in this edit line
Slot List
| Slot name | Slot description |

|
If Key attached to binary input#0 is pressed, "0" value is written to CNC variable #7150, |
|
| CNC Variable: Toggle | Switch CNC variable between values "0", "1". Parameters contains address of CNC Variable in Global variables array. If slot activated (hardkey pressed/released) CNC variable value will be switched between given values |
| CNC Variable: Change | Write to CNC variable given value. Parameters contains address of CNC Variable in Global variables array and the value should written to. Parameters divided by ";" |
|
If Key #0 pressed, value "777" will be written to CNC Variable #7150 |
