At a glance

  • XHC WHB04B-4 wireless MPG pendant, plug-and-play over its USB dongle

  • LCD shows live position and state
  • Follows the active machine — and keeps working while you design in another tab

GcodePilot supports the XHC WHB04B-4 wireless MPG pendant out of the box — plug in its USB dongle, enable the pendant on the machine, and it works on both GRBL and FluidNC.

What the controls do

The wheel jogs the axis selected on the axis knob, at the increment on the step knob (including a Lead mode). Dedicated buttons cover Start, Pause/Resume, Stop, Zero X/Y/Z, Park, Wpos, and THC volts up/down for plasma. The LCD shows live position and state.

Follows your focus

The pendant drives the machine whose GcodePilot tab is focused — and keeps driving the most recent one while you work in another workspace, since jobs keep running in the background. Enable it per machine; it reconnects automatically when the dongle reappears.
