Is it easy to disassemble the winwing adapter and solder on some wires if we want to try to integrate it into a metal extension or is it sealed up tight?

I can sell only a PCB too

walmis•1/17/23, 7:39 AM

the finished adapter core is like a capsule of two connectors with the PCB in between, 5 pin male on one end, 6pin female on the other

walmis•1/17/23, 7:44 AM

overall it looks like this, with two clamping rings

@craptakularuk he has stated he'd like to produce around 100 units per year (do the math) unless he's able to ramp up production in the future.

So it will work with the WW extension?

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:42 AM

Yeah, the bottom part

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:43 AM

Im just worried with costant grip changes, metal beats plastic and will start to dissintegrate it

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:43 AM

If you accidentaly missthread it, consider the plastic ruined

You could extend either the TM end or WW end, both options would work

Hey guys, a little bit of good news! Currently working from home and made a proof of concept Python framework/app based on SimShaker telemetry that will allow to easily work with telemetry based effects per aircraft/aircraft class. Planning to release it open source on github

Oh okay

Wwalmis No

leninjahd•1/17/23, 2:58 PM

are there plans on making it open source?

walmis•1/17/23, 3:03 PM

Nope, it's very tightly integrated with the firmware anyways

leninjahd•1/17/23, 3:35 PM

Okay, I wanted to try to code a slave feature

walmis•1/17/23, 3:38 PM

You don't need that configurator app, It doesn't do any actual FFB

walmis•1/17/23, 3:39 PM

The quick start to FFB is with SDL2 library: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/CategoryForceFeedback

which I'm using now to build the telemetry effects

leninjahd•1/17/23, 4:14 PM

So i could write a program which takes the inputs from rhino A and sends them as effects to rhino B?

walmis•1/17/23, 4:16 PM

yep

leninjahd•1/17/23, 4:32 PM

Alright, just need to learn C

walmis•1/17/23, 4:32 PM

No need, SDL has bindings for most languages

walmis•1/17/23, 4:33 PM

fastest way is using python: pip install pysdl2 pysdl2-dllpip install pysdl2 pysdl2-dll and ready to go

leninjahd•1/17/23, 4:41 PM

Alright, ill try to code something

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:01 PM

@walmis It cant seem to find the stick

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:01 PM

walmis•1/17/23, 5:09 PM

Try this:

def find_haptic_joystick():
    for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()):
        joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i)
        try:
            if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy):
                logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}")
                break
        finally:
            SDL_JoystickClose(joy)
    return i

def find_haptic_joystick():
    for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()):
        joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i)
        try:
            if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy):
                logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}")
                break
        finally:
            SDL_JoystickClose(joy)
    return i

walmis•1/17/23, 5:11 PM

also tune down master gain when testing untested FFB code to avoid breaking something

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:15 PM

its not finding anything

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:15 PM

but windows Finds the joystick

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:21 PM

NumJoysticks is zero lol

walmis•1/17/23, 5:21 PM

you probably didn't init SDL

walmis•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK)
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_HAPTIC)

walmis•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

add these at the start

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

yep that was it ty

It's exactly the case, these effects are based on the DCS telemetry data

Magpie•1/17/23, 10:46 PM

Hey I was asking in the razbam discord if they can implement the same bump you feel in the F5 when you press through the aileron limiter.

In the m2000, despite being FBW there's an elastic limit that takes 40kg of force to pull through. It then let's the plane pitch up at a higher aoa I think, maybe breaking the jet though.

Kind of like the lever in the f18

Anyway he says he's willing to look into it but I'm not well versed enough in the mechanics of ffb to describe how the F5 makes that bump. Can anyone help?

Hey @leninjahd,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0036 on 2023-01-12
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 102 days, median is 110 days, max is 183 days
34 Rhinos are shipped in total

def find_haptic_joystick(): for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()): joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i) try: if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy): logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}") break finally: SDL_JoystickClose(joy) return i
