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?

DeltaVJOP•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

DeltaVJOP•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

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

DeltaVJOP•2/1/23, 3:26 PM

So no way to translate those input into rhino input?

DeltaVJOP•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.py

python 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.

PiNKSH!T•2/2/23, 9:28 AM

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

R1 R2 can be any, 1-100k, yeah an HC04 inverter would do as well

this looks like some sort of star map to me?

Thank you.

nz aviator•2/2/23, 10:15 PM

Do you need to own the base of any of the grip manufacturers. i.e. Tm Virpil or winwing to get the grip to work or can you just plug them straight into the unit?

Vulcan•2/2/23, 11:58 PM

You can just plug them in, but the only issue is if you want to update the firmware for whatever reason or do typical troubleshooting steps they might ask you to do for a warranty replacement then you'd be unable to

Vulcan•2/3/23, 12:02 AM

Maybe not an issue for most, I've had two switches die on my super Taurus throttle and one on my f18 stick, their track record with me isn't the greatest so I may be biased

Ye Old Grog•2/3/23, 12:05 PM

It depends on the grip.
TM and Virpil plug straight in. Winwing needs Walmis' adapter.
The VKB you don't need the base but you do need Walmis' adapter and the black box. Which VKB will sell you separately.

ddrake1984•2/3/23, 1:36 PM

I wonder how easy to transition to vkb, I hope it isn’t a huge job to do

Dddrake1984 I wonder how easy to transition to vkb, I hope it isn’t a huge job to do

PiNKSH!T•2/3/23, 2:13 PM

in what way do you mean m8? I have the vkb mcgu & v2 kg12 grips & gladiator base, if you want to know anything about them I can tell you whatever I know that may help you, but as far as their software is concerned all I know is the very basics & that it seems very powerful

PiNKSH!T•2/3/23, 2:15 PM

After running the main.py I get a small window flash up for a brief moment then after that how do I know if it worked? just go in game & see if I get effects?

skyPickle•2/3/23, 5:19 PM

The small window becomes big and filled w words and changing numbers

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:33 PM

virpil connection plug always stays on, you simply thread on the vkb adapter on top of it..

I haven't read everything but, would it not be possible to add the base in the simshaker software?
