Do the wires that come in the motor kits come with connectors on them already? Decent amount of slac
Do the wires that come in the motor kits come with connectors on them already? Decent amount of slack?
WYou might need to splice and extend the wires as needed, so have a soldering iron and some heatshrink ready 
AIs motor 1 and 2 specific or roll? and pitch?
AOkay kinda confused, I had buttons working before I wrote the settings to the card. Now none of the buttons work from the joystick…double checked the wiring it’s all okay..not sure if the winwing adapter is good?
ASo I’ve tried re-wiring the pigtail for the sick just to make sure no breaks in solder. Changed the extension cord for the 5pin. Ran straight adapter to the base 5pin din. Swapped to my other winwing grip. Nada. No buttons register
WCan you check the debug output when generic grip (debug) is selected
ALots of FFs
AFor S&G I also pinned up a spare connector for 5pin and still nada. All FFs @walmis
WThe problem is on the 5 pin side
W
ABut does the problem lie in the adapter? The board?
APlugging this in gives me nothing
A
APinned off this
AOne sec let me repin this off your diagram and see what happens
WI doubt it's the adapter, unless it was badly pinned and damaged during powerup
A1st or 2nd
W2nd
AI’ll report back
Woh wait
AWaiting lol
Wyep 2nd
AThat’s how I already had it wired.
Wtry probing the adapter pins, disconnect the adapter cable - put a multimeter in diode test mode, put red probe on GND, and check all other pins with the black probe, it should read a diode (~0.6V) on all the pins
AI’ll have to do that at work tomorrow. I don’t have a meter at home.
ABut the freshly pinned one again going off the confirmed pin. Doesn’t work.
WThat's strange
AYep still all FF in debug mode
WYou don't have a TM/Virpil grip to try?
ANegative
AJust two winwing ones. One was brand new that I was using for this. It worked in the initial config thru chrome then when I loaded the VP software they were registering. I did the auto config ran the axis x and y. Saved and stored. And then nothing worked button wise
ADoesn’t matter what mode I put the software in for the button either. Nada
WYeah, would be best to probe the adapter for opens/shorts
AOkay I’ll do that in about 7 hours if you’re still around not entirely sure of the time difference
AMy buddy has a TM grip he’s gonna let me barrow to test also
AOne pin has .6v one pin has .4 and two are open. @walmis
WThat's not good, which pins are open?
ALatch and Data. VDD is .4v and Clock is .6v @walmis
AVerified a TM grip does in fact work
HHi Folks, just trying to get my head around some of the settings in the vpforce config. So do all of the sliders have an impact into the actual ffb effects encountered, not just on applications which dont use ffb? I ask as I am trying to set up the controls to be used in msfs and dcs and hopefully not have to touch it again. I have had my spring set at 50%, is that a reasonable setting to use? Or will that then reduce the effectiveness of somethings in telem? I have no extension on my stick, would appreciate some feedback on the settings.
JAlso depends on your "effects" tab settings... These "settings" tab settings are global settings. Additionally with the TelemFFB, there are config file setting that can be adjusted.
AAnyone else experienced quite bad FPS drop when doing coop plane in MP and the airbrake is deployed?
Mso I have a 10K Ohm pot and would like to plug it in. I have tried it and it works, from the electronics point of view (correctly connected and the configurator works). I would just need to make an appropriate size hole on the top mdf plate of the rhino. What would be the best way to go about it? I would like to remove it completely, it looks I will have to remove a wheel to access one of the screws AND unplug the original pot and the panic button? for removing the wheel, would I need to loosen the belt (by loosening the motor) first, and then unscrew the 5 bolts keeping the wheel attached?
Does that sound reasonable?
Does that sound reasonable?
Fhey guys does the Rhino work with MechWarrior 5?
MAs a controller, there's no reason it shouldn't. I doubt MW5 has any kind of FFB integration though
Ai've gotten this interesting problem that seems to manifest itself occaisionally when playing DCS, and it's unclear if it's a Rhino issue or a DCS issue, and if there's potentially a workaround for it that we can do (if it is a DCS issue?) this problem seems to manifest with or without telemFFB. Basically with the F14 sometimes the elevator trim will stop working (and i think it's supposed to work by re-centering the spring. And when i quit the match that i'm flying, and in the main menu for DCS, i see a stuck spring effect that doesn't go away even if i start more F14 games/etc. If i fully quit DCS, then the spring effect does go away. Assuming this is some sort of DCS bug, it might be nice if there was a button i could press to like reset all effects? might help me not having to fully quit DCS to get it working again, which would be nice. unclear if it would cause problems in game if i pressed a button like that though
Nyou could start an instance of TelemFFB with the -r runtime flag. That will kill any effects on the Rhino. Just dont do it while you are in the aircraft and un-paused or it will certainly kill all of the DCS generated effects that are active
AWould the DCS effects re-apply in those cases?
AOr would you have to restart the game? Kinda curious to test lol
NHonestly I dontt hink I've tried it.. It depends on if it only pauses the effects or if it re-creates them when you enter/exit pause
