When 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)

HextopiaOP•3/16/23, 9:25 PM

It 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

HextopiaOP•3/16/23, 9:26 PM

Any suggestions on things to try? I've already done all the standard stuff like different ports, restarting windows, etc.

I 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.

HextopiaOP•3/17/23, 2:13 AM

I guess I could try taking it apart and see if there's anything loose inside it

HextopiaOP•3/17/23, 2:13 AM

It's about all I've got left to try

Could 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.

HextopiaOP•3/17/23, 5:24 AM

I tried a different cable and no joy there

HextopiaOP•3/17/23, 5:25 AM

I'll pull the socket out and see if something came loose tomorrow

Hi. 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.

nice 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?

Thanks. Yes it is for tensioning. Also helps to engage more teeth on the small pulley.

Is there a way to mount the Rhino with the VIRPIl mounts? https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/desk-mounts-adapters.html

HextopiaOP•3/19/23, 4:37 PM

You'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

Is there a better Solution for Center Mounting?

The 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.

walmis•3/21/23, 5:24 PM

It's roughly 50EUR using FEDEX for the smaller motors kit

skyPickle•3/21/23, 9:07 PM

dont forget you'lll also get a bill from fedex for $35 for import tariff

Kits might be less than the tariff threshold.

I didn't get hit with a tariff for my motor kit

$800 above gets hit into the US.

does 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

Nope, it should migrate automatically. But you can always export them to a file as a backup.

Ummm 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?

so one question i have -- it would be nice to be able to manually define the center position raw value -- i'm finding that with calibration and tweaks -- it's basically impossible for me to get my Y axis to have 2048 as my center without severely limiting the throw (or I am perhaps doing something wrong?)

amadeus•3/23/23, 6:54 AM

after a calibration and some manual tweaks of the end points -- i have around these settings (was able to tweak X to have 2048 exactly tho
