Wow, this was super helpful. I just ran into this same issue on a board I spun for a custom joystick. Thank you for diagnosing it and saving me a TON of head scratching.
For those of you with a single axis system: Is there a trick to using the VPForce board with only 1 motor? I can only get the software to show motion when I have 2 motors connected. The software says the motor is detected but never shows motion. If I attach a second motor, both motors work perfectly?
I may have been a little stupid when I made my order, I recall ticking the box for the Virpil adapter - I could be making that up tho
My Virpil Constellation arrived today and the connections don't suit the adapter piece I got with the Rhino ? Not a big deal - obviously I have ordered the wrong part or done something else equally stupid.... what do I need to make this right now ? thx
