Frederic Rible and Dewey Garrett and I have been adding support for this pendant to LinuxCNC. It's nearly ready to be merged into master, for now you can check it out in the "xhc-hb04" branch on git.linuxcnc.org. Frederic (who wrote the driver) tested that branch and reported that it works for him. Dewey wrote a bunch of configs that should hopefully be easy to add to a machine config, but i haven't heard any test reports of that (and i don't have one of these pendants to test with myself). Frederic, Dewey, are you both happy with the state of that branch? Are we ready to merge it into master? And then I guess it's time to update that wiki page.... -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
