Hi, I have an issue with my Pedals, in the configurator, the motor is offline, with usb connected. When do unplug the wires connected to the motor, I don't have any "bip" anymore

Hi, if the motor is powered, indicated by the LED, check the communication wire link, most likely there's a problem there.

hey guys, just built up a diy rudder with the F04, I'm having trouble with the centering it being slow to center. Any suggestions?

Can you post your settings and showcase the behaviour?

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:06 PM

hold on

at full defection, then release it only returns to that point in pic 3

walmis•2/27/24, 2:11 PM

Your spring is at 20%

walmis•2/27/24, 2:11 PM

No, never calibrate in windows

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:12 PM

at 100%

TTinman at 100%

walmis•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

You can set max current to 30A too

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

so i have to set it at 100% for it to work like a rudder?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

Yeah

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

ok thanks. I wonder because look how the axis is in windows in comparison with the configurator. I'm full in the corner in the calibrator and not in windows.

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

lol, damn, looks like i dont need leg days... lol

Hharf4ng ok thanks. I wonder because look how the axis is in windows in comparison with t...

walmis•2/27/24, 2:14 PM

That's how windows calibrator displays it, it won't go further

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:15 PM

ok. so if I find I have to push the stick too much forward for full forward move I just adjust dcs axis saturation?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:15 PM

You can also use axis scaling feature

walmis•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

at 50% means if the axis is at 50%, for windows it is at 100%?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

yep

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:18 PM

ok thanks. Will try that. btw are those the default settings and are they good, knowing that I use a heavy grip with something like a 30/40 cm extension?

TTinman so i have to set it at 100% for it to work like a rudder?

Number481•2/27/24, 2:23 PM

you certainly shouldn't need %100 spring force to center the pedals (unless maybe they are direct drive).. I run my pedals at %60, and much lower in game settings (with TelemFFB) and they center just fine.

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

ouch I clicked on reset config, because I thought it will just do that on screen, and it did that in firmware as well so load settings do not work. Next time I'll export my settings

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

I only want to set it to 30%, it would be perfect. Thing is, as walmis sait, it wont center quick enough to act like a rudder at 30%

Hharf4ng ok thanks. Will try that. btw are those the default settings and are they good, ...

walmis•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

These settings are "Board defaults" you can import the "Rhino defaults" from configsconfigs directory with the VP configurator

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:25 PM

ah ok thanks

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:25 PM

ah yes rhino defaults are really different than board config

walmis•2/27/24, 2:26 PM

Maybe there's some friction in your pedals? Try enabling the adaptive recentering feature, or make the centering curve a bit stiffer using the spring "gain map"

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:28 PM

you're talking about pedals. Do you mean you have hardware to add ffb to pedals too?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:30 PM

I'm planning to release a HW kit for MFG pedals soon, but there are DIYs out there that mounted the motor to other pedals too.

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:31 PM

ah ok. I had MFG before but now I have virpil ones. And in march I'll have the virpil apache collective as well. But I do not have the knowledge to make those ffb

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:33 PM

just finished it an hour ago and testing it right now

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:35 PM

in a real helicopter, do force trim also work on pedals? Or only cyclic?

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:35 PM

this is strange, why with the rhino default config, the X axis is inverted?

TTinman I only want to set it to 30%, it would be perfect. Thing is, as walmis sait, it ...

Number481•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

here's a clip of centering at %30 spring. I run Virpil pedals with the 8603 motor

Number481•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

and my gain map.. just gives it a little more oomph right around center

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

seems to have helped a lot so far

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:40 PM

ok I undrstand about the inverted axis, this is because the default config file does not change the ffb axes setup

walmis•2/27/24, 2:51 PM

Yeah, X axis is usually inverted to work in the right logical direction on the Rhino

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:55 PM

I have an issue calibrating my twist axis. If I want the axis to go from -4096 to +4096 then at neutral the value is not 0. And if I click the C to have it centered at 0 then it goes from -4096 to 3955

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:59 PM

ok I found a solution, I removed a few values to max and increase the min the same value so center does not move but the axis goes to max and min

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:02 PM

Lastly, whats a good setup for the Apache? I saw your posts before something bout trim issues in dcs and i think Telem ffb helped solved it.

Number481•2/27/24, 3:04 PM

yeah, if you run DCS by itself, you will find that your pedals react to the x axis FFB for the cyclic. TelemFFB overrides that and just sets no springs with a configurable dampening setting

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:05 PM

Im planning on adding ffb to my collective soon, still figuring out how to connect the direct drive to the virpil collective.

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:06 PM

sweet, was testing it earlier. was trying to look for faults and didnt find any. I did have telemffb running so thats why

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:06 PM

@walmis @Number481 Thank you for your time helping me out guys, much appreciated.
