Looks like there’s already a way to flash the firmware to these boards. I’ll have to read some documentation since I’m not familiar with these apm chips, but I’m willing to bet all I need to do is get it (newly installed chip) into DFU mode and use this firmware flashing tool: https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino/

@walmis I see that these chips are reprogrammed through UART1. What is the process for flashing a new chip?

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 12:26 AM

And it looks like I can get an actual STM32F103 for less

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 12:32 AM

Looks like Boot0 needs to be pulled high with Boot1 pulled low to enter Bootloader, cool.

The Geehy is an STM clone that gained popularity during the chip shortage. Not sure why you’d make a distinction.

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 1:49 AM

Because that’s what’s physically on this board, clone or not. Not interested in semantics arguments though so take that somewhere else

Are you trying to fix a broken controller board, that came with the Rhino? Why not just send it in to Walmis for repair?

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 11:42 AM

I fix electronics, my friend wanted me to diagnose/fix this for him. So that's what I'm doing. This stuff is pretty simple, and given that its based around the STM32, it's pretty similar to the flight controllers on the FPV drones and planes we fly

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 11:43 AM

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 11:43 AM

For instance, that’s a flight controller that I designed and built for small FPV wings

You can download the last binary release here: https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB/releases/tag/v0.1.3

Release Release v0.1.3 · walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:11 PM

I've done it, I've download everything but now i'm kina stuck

Wwalmis DM'd you

HereComesWhiteyOP•7/9/23, 12:12 PM

Thank you

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:13 PM

installed git and python, downloaded telem ffb but know i don't understand what to do

walmis•7/9/23, 12:13 PM

If you downloaded the binary release, just run the .exe

walmis•7/9/23, 12:14 PM

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:15 PM

so no need to do CMD?

walmis•7/9/23, 12:15 PM

That's just to get it running from source code

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:16 PM

so i'm good and just need to launch dcs now?

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:16 PM

and i'll have to run the .exe each time i launch dcs?

walmis•7/9/23, 12:18 PM

Yes, but keep in mind this is the early release, so not all aircraft are fully configured/implemented.

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 12:18 PM

Okay, thanks a lot!

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 2:16 PM

with this, I can't have the effect like airbrake?

DDeltaVJ with this, I can't have the effect like airbrake?

Number481•7/9/23, 3:33 PM

Airbrake, gear and afterburner were only recently implemented in the ‘wip’ branch. You would have to grab a copy of that branch to get those effects

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 3:34 PM

It's as easy as for the other?

Number481•7/9/23, 3:42 PM

You said you already installed python and git? If you create a directory where you want to put the version, and open a command prompt in that directory…. You can use git clone -b wip https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB.gitgit clone -b wip https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB.git

That will clone the source code into that directory. Then CD into the new TelemFFB directory and do a pip install requirements.txtpip install requirements.txt

You can then run the app by doing python main.pypython main.py from the same directory

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 7:26 PM

Well... That's what I dont understand...

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 7:27 PM

A directory?
How do I use git clone...
CD?
Pip instal?

DeltaVJ•7/9/23, 7:33 PM

I'm sure it would be easy if it was in my language but in english thats unclear

DDeltaVJ Well... That's what I dont understand...

Second this. any chance of a release update for those of us that appreciate all the behind the scenes work, but don't speak git?

DeltaVJ•7/10/23, 6:47 PM

Did it!

DeltaVJ•7/10/23, 6:47 PM

now another question

DeltaVJ•7/10/23, 6:49 PM

in FFB plan I get a bigger amount of force (on regular mouvement without effect like just pulling the stick than on non FFB plane (for example in mirage 2000 I feel like the stick is far less strong than on F14)

DeltaVJ•7/10/23, 6:49 PM

is there a way of getting it harder on non FFB plane?

walmis•7/10/23, 7:18 PM

M2K has hardcoded FFB values of 0.65, you can change it here:

AndyHill•7/11/23, 11:38 AM

is there a similar thing for the 16?

Jehly•7/12/23, 9:01 PM

OK - Dumb question. ~~Fired up DCS - FFB is on in the settings and the pitch/roll isnt detected.~~

Jehly•7/12/23, 9:01 PM

It's showing in VP software - but not DCS

Edit: Disregard

kingjamez•7/13/23, 12:23 AM

It’s been 3 hours. I hope you’ve been flying the whole time!

Kkingjamez It’s been 3 hours. I hope you’ve been flying the whole time!

Jehly•7/13/23, 12:50 AM

LOL! I have been! I've been doing some re-binding, unfortunately. But I can say the warbird feel is incredible. The A10 I don't feel much but the feedback/resistence is real nice.

AndyHill•7/13/23, 12:50 AM

probably suffering from a catastrophic case of w-f

Jehly•7/13/23, 12:50 AM

Also, the helis don't give me much other than the trim

AndyHill•7/13/23, 12:51 AM

they don't

AndyHill•7/13/23, 12:51 AM

telemffb might, I don't have experience with it yet
