were you using the cables that come with the kit or did you build them by yourself?

Sis the next version of vpconfigurator (with the 'stick to trimmer mode' button option) on a scheduled release?
WYes, almost there
TThe cables as supplied with the kit. I went back and looked at pics of other kits and they have it configured with the crossover as I mentioned. Based on that I think mine is an isolated issue but probably fair to say if you DIY then just double check.
Ahype!
HI'm having a weird issue where the Rhino base is no longer recognized as a USB device by windows
HWhen I plug it in, I get the normal beeps from the base, but windows throws an error saying the device isn't recognized (Device Descriptor Request Failed)
HIt briefly showed up in the FFB configurator earlier today when I was trying out different USB ports to see if I could get one to recognize it, but it went back to not being recognized again shortly thereafter, and crashed the configurator in the process
HAny suggestions on things to try? I've already done all the standard stuff like different ports, restarting windows, etc.
TI got this same error when I plugged in my board for the first time due to an improperly wired USB connector. If your Rhino was working previously maybe something jiggled loose between the main board and USB plug. @leninjahd described something similar above too when I asked about my error.
HI guess I could try taking it apart and see if there's anything loose inside it
HIt's about all I've got left to try
WCould be the USB wiring on the usb socket side. You can try to unscrew it and pull it from the front and check if any wires didn't come loose.
Either way it's a bummer, but I'll send you a replacement cable or main board if needed.

HI tried a different cable and no joy there
HI'll pull the socket out and see if something came loose tomorrow
WHi. Got life in one axis of my kit build for the first time. (Waiting on belt for other axis) It all feels really nice, however there is quite a lot of natural dampening going on. I want to use this for helis as well, which will mean I want an almost "floppy" stick with very little resistance/dampening. How can I achieve this ? Natural Damping compensation goes some of the way, but any higher than about 17% and I get sound uncontrolled bouncing off the limits.

Pnice work m8, what's the 'extra' roller for that looks adjustable, at the fron of the picture touching the belt. Is that just to adjust the belt tension?
WThanks. Yes it is for tensioning. Also helps to engage more teeth on the small pulley.
JVery nice.
Which motors do you use?

SWhat were the specs for that diode? Looking to replace it
WIt's SMAJ24A
LIs there a way to mount the Rhino with the VIRPIl mounts? https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/desk-mounts-adapters.html
VIRPIL Controls - Bringing Real Happiness to the Virtual Skies
HYou'd need to build an adapter plate for it, and even then I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea given the force the base can put out
LIs there a better Solution for Center Mounting?
HI originally thought about doing it for my setup, but ultimately opted with mounting the base to a thick board and sitting my chair on the board
P
pretty much the exact thing I've done for the time being
MThat's how I started. This is how that board somehow has ended up
Sawesome. Where'd you get that CDU?
W86BLF04. The biggest ones.

SVery sweet build!!
WThe damping compensation is essentially negative damping, so you can find a value that's on threshold of stability. A nudge test is a good indication. If you nudge it and it starts to accelerate it means the value is too big.
RThat’s amazing.
WOK, thank you.
RIt’s a dangerously slippery slope for the poor wallet.
MWhat is the approximate shipping cost to Indianapolis US for motors kit?
WIt's roughly 50EUR using FEDEX for the smaller motors kit
Sdont forget you'lll also get a bill from fedex for $35 for import tariff
TKits might be less than the tariff threshold.
YI didn't get hit with a tariff for my motor kit
F$800 above gets hit into the US.
Danything over $1000 in Australia gets hit with Import tax
Ddoes anyone have the WinWing F18 grip? for some reason my right hat switch does not work (up/down/left/right), but the push does work
WIt's mapped to a hat as I recall
W@mike_aka_mugs has this grip
Dah, apologies, it works in DCS, didn't show up to be working in the vpforce program
Dthe button it's assigned to is 45,46,47,48
AQuestion: when updating firmware, will existing settings be wiped out? Just want to check if I should screenshot them before updootin
WNope, it should migrate automatically. But you can always export them to a file as a backup.
PUmmm bugger, I seem to have lost all my config's. I just did the firmware update & downloaded the newest config app, when I moved my config folder I made to the new app to tidy things up I launched the config app & when I try to import my configs they're gone?
