oh wait -- so this wasn't actually an IL2 bug then? it was a rhino bug?

Yep, was introduced in 04.24 update and fixed yesterday.

Where can I get this update? I only see v1.0.14 in downloads page?

walmis•4/27/23, 2:45 PM

here

LeLv30_Superbus•4/27/23, 2:49 PM

But...

I have only one executable: VPforce_FFB_Configurator.exe where can I get that web tool thingy?

Open it with webusb compatible browser: Edge, Chrome, Brave

also the pop up that comes up in windows when you plug in the Rhino will take you there

LeLv30_Superbus•4/27/23, 2:50 PM

So Firefox which I use does not work, okay thanks

walmis•4/27/23, 2:50 PM

Yeah, Mozilla doesn't support webusb

walmis•4/27/23, 2:54 PM

try again, maybe you're using a hub?

LeLv30_Superbus•4/27/23, 2:55 PM

Device Firmware: v1.0.14-6

LeLv30_Superbus•4/27/23, 2:56 PM

is it the right one now?

walmis•4/27/23, 2:56 PM

yep, latest

LeLv30_Superbus•4/27/23, 2:56 PM

cheers

Found the problem today. With a long cable, there's some cross-talk and the jittery rising clock signal causes it to register as two clock inputs, I'll try adding a resistor on the data output line on the S/R side tomorrow to slow down the slew rate and see if that fixes it.
Here in pic - yellow is rising clock edge and blue is toggling data line.

TheAmazinGreat•4/27/23, 7:38 PM

How long is the cable?

walmis•4/27/23, 7:38 PM

um, around 1.5-2 meters

Wwalmis um, around 1.5-2 meters

TheAmazinGreat•4/27/23, 8:52 PM

Good info to know!

walmis•4/28/23, 6:04 AM

Added a 330ohm resistor on the data line from the shift register, solves the problem with a long wire

walmis•4/28/23, 6:04 AM

Will add it on the next revision of the board

smitty•4/28/23, 12:13 PM

i have a resistor variety pack i'll give that a try here too.

smitty•4/28/23, 12:15 PM

would it be better on the SR side or usb board side

walmis•4/28/23, 12:19 PM

on SR side

smitty•4/28/23, 3:20 PM

IT WORKS!

smitty•4/28/23, 4:25 PM

Hey i have a buddy that's pretty good with repairing phones and other tiny electronics and i happen to be seeing him tomorrow. Is there a spot on the board that you would think to look at first for that one i killed?

walmis•4/29/23, 8:41 AM

Probably the voltage regulator would be my first suspect, but the mcu might be damaged though.

Hey Walmis I'm getting some funny effects in IL2 with the A-20, I think it might be related to inertia? The stick in game is sort of jumping along the axis, especially when I trim to full nose down, when I move the stick it jumps back to middle of Y axis. When I try to log the data it stops when I alt tab back? is there anyway to log the data & save the log file?

walmis•4/29/23, 3:49 PM

Not sure what to make of this, too little information. Need something more to go on.
The data log button should stay activated irrespective from alt-tab status. Data is logged to samples.csv file inside the configurator folder.

Is it possible you have bound two different controllers for the main axis and they conflict?

getting late for me atm, I'll jump on IL2 tomorrow & try to capture it better for you.

walmis•4/29/23, 3:59 PM

Yeah, I see some oscillations

walmis•4/29/23, 3:59 PM

can you show me your settings?
