this inspired me to recalibrate my base... that small kick back I was mentioning is now gone

walmis•8/16/23, 5:57 PM

Can't remember in which configurator version, perhaps since the 1.0.15, It checks windows registry for Rhino calibration and auto-clears it if found. Helps to avoid undefined behaviour like this.

Wwalmis Can you select generic grip (debug), and post some data from the debug tab when ...

So the pot is the black dial on top of the base correct? How do you activate function #2? is the pot supposed to click or lift up to a second position?

MashedPotato•8/17/23, 1:11 AM

The FF runs the screen constantly, the FD, FB, and F7 are the 3 button presses that are not otherwise captured

JJIGGAwest So the pot is the black dial on top of the base correct? How do you activate fun...

MashedPotato•8/17/23, 1:11 AM

Function #2 is tied to a second pot. I don't believe the Rhino ships with one, but the controller board is wired for one

MashedPotato•8/17/23, 3:43 AM

Do I need to do anything besides run the app to get telemffb running with DCS? It doesn't seem to want to send vibrations to the stick

JIGGAwest•8/17/23, 3:47 AM

no connect error when you open TelemFFB ? periodic effects is turned up?

MashedPotato•8/17/23, 4:42 AM

No error. Honestly not sure periodic were turned on, wasn't sure what that was, I'll check it out in the am

I'll add this to the next maintentace firmware release

NNumber481 you said your axis is not inverted.. but what about FFB tune settings?

LeLv30_Superbus•8/17/23, 10:25 AM

whaaaat didn't know that menu exists, is it module specific?

Wwalmis I'll add this to the next maintentace firmware release

MashedPotato•8/17/23, 12:37 PM

Sweet, I'll let you know if it wakes up those buttons

LLeLv30_Superbus 😮 whaaaat didn't know that menu exists, is it module specific?

Number481•8/17/23, 12:48 PM

It is.. I have the built-in shake effects disabled on the Spitfire, using TelemFFB in stead. You can see it in the joystick profile if you change from defaults.

Number481•8/17/23, 12:49 PM

I never knew it existed either because I always have "foldable view" enabled which removes all the options buttons at the bottom of the screen

Number481•8/17/23, 12:50 PM

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:26 PM

Has anyone with a viripl mongoose grip on the rhino experienced this? Just lightly tapping the brake lever makes the value spike a bunch?

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:28 PM

My guess is that this is a hardware issue in the grip

TTheZoq2 My guess is that this is a hardware issue in the grip

Number481•8/17/23, 5:31 PM

are you using the virpil offset extension by chance?

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:31 PM

I am

Number481•8/17/23, 5:31 PM

have you tried with the grip directly attached to the rhino?

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:32 PM

I have not, but that is a good idea

Number481•8/17/23, 5:33 PM

I ask because myself and several others have had flaky wiring in the virpil extension.. I took mine apart and replaced the wire, but it was kind of a PITA honestly..

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:35 PM

Nope, same effect

Number481•8/17/23, 5:36 PM

ahh.. well, that good its not the extension but bad its either the grip or the rhino

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:37 PM

Yeah

TTheZoq2 Yeah

walmis•8/17/23, 5:42 PM

Did you calibrate the brake axis in the configurator?

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:43 PM

I did yep

walmis•8/17/23, 5:43 PM

On a second though yeah, it looks like a hardware issue in grip

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:43 PM

I guess I'll have to send an email to vipril then

walmis•8/17/23, 5:44 PM

You can manually calibrate it out though

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:44 PM

with a deadzone?

walmis•8/17/23, 5:45 PM

Increase the min value so the glitchy part is below zero

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:46 PM

I suppose so yeah, though it seems to be glitchy across half the range

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:51 PM

Well, only slightly glitchy above 25% range, so this should be usable until I get around to complaining heheh

TheZoq2•8/17/23, 5:51 PM

Thanks for the help

keirn•8/17/23, 6:30 PM

Hi, think I might have broken my base..
I hooked it up, when powered on it wanted to center , and more so when tuning the knob. tried to calibrate in the calibrator app, but it will not "do" anything i msfs, the force feedback worked for a bit , but then

keirn•8/17/23, 6:31 PM

it just stopped doing anything, it is limp.

keirn•8/17/23, 6:32 PM

I cloned the git repo, it is receiving telemetry from msfs just fine, so that part is working

keirn•8/17/23, 6:32 PM

I'm a sad puppy

amadeus•8/17/23, 6:33 PM

Can you post screenshots of your configurator settings?

keirn•8/17/23, 6:33 PM

moment

amadeus•8/17/23, 6:34 PM

From a debug perspective — we should focus on the device first to make sure it’s working properly, then secondary focus on the telem app and msfs, since very different situations

amadeus•8/17/23, 6:35 PM

And just for a general gut check — the emergency button isn’t pressed in right? The red one. You have to rotate to pop it in the up position

keirn•8/17/23, 6:35 PM

keirn•8/17/23, 6:35 PM

yes, you are probably right

keirn•8/17/23, 6:36 PM

it is not pressed, correct

amadeus•8/17/23, 6:36 PM

When you move the stick, do you see anything on the left side move?

keirn•8/17/23, 6:36 PM

yes

amadeus•8/17/23, 6:37 PM

Ok cool

That was the problem
