I've been thinking of using one of those Alps 7-way 'funky switch' things on a grip.. is the spi interface on the board able to handle encoder pulses? If not would that be difficult to add in the future?

It's implemented for the VPC Alpha, so it's doable via the shift register too

Nice! Those make for a decent 5-way even without but being able to use the encoder too would be pretty cool in some planes.

Hi, can anyone check my pulley design ? I've gone over it a couple times and can't see any issue. But it seems the teeth are just a little too close, as the belt only fits in for about 2/3rds the way around and then doesn't match. I followed the instructions here. https://capolight.wordpress.com/2018/06/16/full-guide-to-creating-a-htd-timing-pulley-in-cad-fusion-360/

Full guide to creating a HTD timing pulley in CAD (Fusion 360)

2020 Update: It has been pointed out by a comment (thanks Ivanov) that the tooth profile described here, while looking close, is not within spec for a HTD timing pulley. While its probably fine for…

Pulley is 80T, drawn in Fusion360.

Did anyone else lose access to the support channel?

yep, same for me.

If you want I can generate a new pulley in scad and pull it into fusion to convert it to a solid. The parametric scad thing does really well with the teeth. I generated GT tooth type pulleys for mine but HTD is one of the tooth options as well.

Will3D•3/27/23, 4:46 AM

Cool. Ok thanks that would be great. I’m really not sure why mine isn’t right. It’s very close and I used the numbers in the spreadsheet!

mechsickoOP•3/27/23, 4:48 AM

Besides being 80t HTD what are the rest of the specs or maybe send me the file? I can match your hub type or whatever or just make the model so you can finish it off in Fusion. 5mm pitch I assume? How wide?

I posted the file above. But I’d be happy with just the blank pulley. I can do the rest.

It’s htd 5. Btw.

PointCTRL is great, but damn I want something that can recognize depth and give me hands, like Ultraleap, but just developed better and not so buggy... I dont think its that hard to do, there is just no market

2 things that occurred to me that could be an issue.. one is if your printer is calibrated (like if a 20mm cube measures 20.00mm or not) the other is rounding errors from digital interpolation.

Will3D•3/27/23, 8:19 PM

I had certainly thought about printer error, but I recently printed a sleeve to go over 2020 extrusion at 20.1x20.1mm and it fit like a glove. This seems like a larger error.

I made something like that for steamVR using vive trackers. I could send a link if you remind me in a few hours

TheZoq2•3/27/23, 10:11 PM

(It's janky and the code only works on linux, but perhaps someone can steal some ideas

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:14 AM

got #64 today. Working just fine, I didn't have much time to tinker with it - but actually being able to use trim on the Huey and the Hind is pretty cool!

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:15 AM

packaged very well, worked out of the box with no problems. Also stick stiffening in Fw190 was nice to see, well, feel!

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:18 AM

I won't have the time till weekend to really sink my teeth into it - and vpforce config, but I love it. Also - it's so god damned smooth!

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:18 AM

and the spring feeling can give a good deal of force

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:19 AM

I see the power supply is 9.5A and the default psu current was set at 7A in the software, there shouldn't be any issue with setting it at 9A - apart from reaching higher temps faster if I hold it against max force?

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:21 AM

From what I was told, don't touch any of the settings in Expert Settings or Input Filtering

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:23 AM

I've never even set my master gain to 100% yet, I've left it on 90% & with 100% spring & some other settings warbirds feel really good, never going to need two hands to pull back in a turn but still a lot more stiff & alive feeling than my VKB GF3 base

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:26 AM

oh it's alive for sure, I've gone vertical in a Fw190 and entered a a lively and... let's call it - acrobatic - spin. The stick was very much alive for a while, until I regained control and got into a dive to recover.

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:26 AM

IL2 or DCS?

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:26 AM

DCS

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:28 AM

ahh nice, I don't have any warbirds for DCS yet, IL2 has been my go to for that. Planning on getting at least a warbird for axis & allied, maybe one from each country eventually

PPolack-1 DCS

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:28 AM

are you using the Telem app from Walmis?

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:29 AM

I just got the Rhino this evening, so most of the time I was disassembling, fitting and reassembling the simpit. I say simpit, it's not that impressive, but I still had to disassemble the diy seat to fit the damn thing

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:29 AM

so just the vpforce ffb configurator

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:29 AM

need to get the telem app too

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:30 AM

Do you fly modern aircraft in dcs too? What about heli's?

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:30 AM

I have all the modules in DCS, just not enough time to fly them all regularly

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:31 AM

but I do fly helicopters, yes. Huey is a favourite, Mi8 is a my first love though. I crashed so many of them I should have gotten a medal from Zelensky by now

PiNKSH!T•3/28/23, 12:31 AM

nice, yeah my m8 grabbed almost all of them on a sale a year or so back, got like 50% or more off the price, pretty good buy really

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:32 AM

the Hind is fun to fly, Apache can be annoying but is manageable

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:32 AM

I can very reliably crash on take off in the gazelle. The only module I bounced off of

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:32 AM

I mean, I even fly yak52 just for sightseeing

Polack-1•3/28/23, 12:33 AM

and try to put some time into warbirds from time to time
