Having what I hope is a stupid me issue, but my TM Warthog grip seems to only register the trigger and it lights up everything in the VPForce software. Yes, I've verified it's plugged in correctly (tried both extension cable, and directly to the grip) and verified the buttons work by plugging it back into it's old base. I ran the debugging profile too and it just spammed the FF line with button trigger presses showing 00 00 repeating. This is NOT using the passthrough port you installed, was trying to just use the native interface. I also tried power cycling/unplugging USB. Everything else seems fine and during a test flight the base functioned as expected.

We figured out that the USB voltage on the hub was too high - 5.6V, hence the grip didn't register the 3.3V signaling correctly. When plugged directly into PC it works correctly.

To build on this, I believe this hub was previously faulty its not an issue with the Rhino or hubs in general. I was just running out of shit to plug shit into.

If anyone can help out with the install process for the DCS Telemetry app that'd be cool. I have python installed & the .zip file downloaded from Walmis's github but I'm lost as to what to do with the cmd prompt stuff, I'll be online for a while if anyone is keen to help? Cheers

open up windows explorer, navigate to the source files.
Hold shift and right click on a blank area
Click open powershell hereopen powershell here
enter pip3 install -r requirements.txtpip3 install -r requirements.txt in powershell prompt
and then python main.pypython main.py

alright, looks like for some reason the installer for python that I got from their site didn't install correctly for this to work, instead I did what Skypickle told me to do in cmd type python & it lead me to windows store, once I did the python install again through the store this time the commands you gave me worked

DeltaVJ•2/1/23, 3:19 PM

I haven't read everything but, would it not be possible to add the base in the simshaker software?
It would be easier then to make profil with different effect

walmis•2/1/23, 3:21 PM

No, it's not that simple

PiNKSH!T•2/1/23, 3:22 PM

Ok Walmis what next? Do I put the export .lua file just in the DCS.openbeta folder? or is it in a specific folder?

DeltaVJ•2/1/23, 3:23 PM

Because of them not wanting you to do it or because of the way the effect is generated being different

DeltaVJ•2/1/23, 3:24 PM

I mean, with a soft between the simshaker app and the base translating app input to input that apply on the base

It couldn't?

walmis•2/1/23, 3:26 PM

Yeah, simshaker is very simplistic at it's core and the logic of the control is very different

DeltaVJ•2/1/23, 3:26 PM

So no way to translate those input into rhino input?

DeltaVJ•2/1/23, 3:27 PM

Or making a similar app for the rhino maybe?

walmis•2/1/23, 3:28 PM

just run python main.pypython main.py it should install the lua stuff automatically

Vulcan•2/1/23, 3:28 PM

Yep app is great, the only downside is having to run so many apps and exports in the first place for something that should be working natively in the sim

walmis•2/1/23, 3:29 PM

I'll try integrating auto launch inside the lua script

Vulcan•2/1/23, 3:30 PM

And as winwing has shown us the exports can greatly impact performance if done wrong, luckily Walmis' script seems to have little to no impact which is great

Wwalmis just run `python main.py` it should install the lua stuff automatically

BTW, I installed npm for windows, built teleplot, got it running, with this showing in the cmd window:

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:30 PM

Teleplot server started
Open your browser at 127.0.0.1:8080
Send telemetry with a "key:value" UDP packet to 127.0.0.1:47269
Example:
BASH: echo "myData:1234" | nc -u -w0 127.0.0.1 47269

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:30 PM

I opened a browser then started DCS.

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:30 PM

Telemetry started appearring in the TelemFFB window

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:31 PM

But teleplot was not doing anything

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:31 PM

The TelemFFB cmd showed this:

skyPickle•2/1/23, 5:32 PM

so I know the UDP port is correct

walmis•2/2/23, 5:59 AM

Teleplot is useful for debugging/developing, though not much use for end use cases.

No I didn't use git, might look at using it next time then instead of doing the install again for each update

Jaeger•2/2/23, 6:05 PM

@walmis , I did set everything up and it works like a charme. Now I'm want to connect my homemade B8 grip. Just the Grip does not talk to the Rhino. I used these Shift register https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004847890448.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.13195c5feS1ACo&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu , would they actually work or do I need to get me something different ?

walmis•2/2/23, 6:07 PM

I think the latch signal needs to be inverted for that one

Jaeger•2/2/23, 6:08 PM

Oh shoot, so I'm screwed?

walmis•2/2/23, 6:09 PM

You can get one of my shift registers

walmis•2/2/23, 6:10 PM

There's a profile for them in the software

walmis•2/2/23, 6:12 PM

or you could invert the HC165_SL_1 signal with a simple inverter:

Jaeger•2/2/23, 6:15 PM

Do you, by any chance got a figure for R1/R2? Its a long time I was in electronics, now I only know that it hurts if I poke something in the power outlet

Jaeger•2/2/23, 6:31 PM

I think an inverter like 74AHC would do as well ?

walmis•2/2/23, 6:34 PM
