I really wish I had read this, you are not wrong it seems. Just got rhino and mcgu mkiv at the same time and the adapter will not work.
SI have the same dilemma but I still have a little way to go on getting my rhino. I have reached out to Walmis a couple of times to ask if there is any intention to release an updated Rev.C adapter but I haven't had a response yet. However there is a solution…
I have spoken to VKB and you can purchase the MCGU revB twist adaptor which is fully compatible.
My issue is I use extensions which is a little more problematic - VKB are offering to send me a cable to change the internals on the RevC extensions but I'm still not sure how that works.

WThe 4th hat works like axis-to-button for the thumb stick, so if you calibrate the thumbstick the hat will work properly 
WI've finally received a revC extension today, and I'm pleased to say that I will be able to provide an adapter for the new revC mount
SAmazing news. Just after I spent all the money on adapters before I even get my rhino. 
patience was never my strong suit.

VI guess I’ll cancel my return then
BThat worked. Thank you.
TJust set up my new unit with winwing adapter and no buttons register
T
Si've tried to recreate my settings but cannot. I still have the issue where a full forward deflection of the stick barely gives any down elevator. I tried axis rescaling but I cannot adjust the y up and y down scaling independently
FYou can rescale up and down independently
Sok i just figured that out-click the little chain link thingy
Sso i set up the vpconf as indicated in that screenshot-35% for Y forward,started DCS, jumped into an A10 and this is what full forward stick looks like
S
Sthe only thing I achieved with those settings is resistance in the stick starts with about 1/3 forward deflection
Sand for the last 2/3 of the excursion, no movement in the elevator is noted
Swithin dcs, the axis tune has no curve set on it. and i can see that the excursion output goes to 100% when the stick is pushed 1/3 forward so axis scaling is working properly
NI don’t fly the a10, but isn’t that normal down elevator deflection? Most jets do not have symmetrical throw.
If DCS is showing full excursion in the axis viewer, I’d say it’s working properly.

TThis might be obvious but make sure you save/send/store config. If not, try to ping walmis.
TThere have been some instances of winwing grips needing to be calibrated on a WW base but I believe that was for the axes not working instead of the buttons.
WFrom the log it looks like the adapter is communicating with the base correctly. Check if the 6 pin WW connector is fully seated, sometimes it needs a good push.
TIt is seated as firmly as I can put it in there. I plugged it back into the original WW base and the buttons etc still work there
Tthe plug can come out slightly from the grip, I plug it in without screwwing the nut around the base and try still no buttons
TGot it working. that was quite a bit of force to get it to register
MA question on TelemFFB. I'm wondering what unit of measurement the prop diameter is supposed to be in. I see some appear to be in inches, some in feet, and some in metres. And, follow-up question - what is the side effect? I'm attempting to make the DA42 profile I made more accurate, and have been comparing it to the other aircraft already in TelemFFB. BTW, this software is awesome, and greatly appreciated - thanks for all the hard work - FFB takes the sim to the next level!
NYou can enter it in whatever units you want, as long as you select the right unit from the drop down. It gets converted internally to the proper unit for the calculations where it’s used (which is meters).
It’s pretty much only used in the calculation to determine how much the prop wash affects the elevator droop.

NI wouldn’t worry too much about trying to match that up super accurately
MWow - I totally missed that because I was working in the larger settings table, where the unit of measure is not exposed. I see it now in the active plane settings tab. I normally don't see that view as I'm normally in VR. Sorry for the silly question!
Syes it is. apparently i tried it with another joystick and the deflection is the same.
Nahh... yeah, your right... the "settings manager" (table editor view) doesn't expose the unit. Actually considering exposing the ability to edit offline models from the main window settings tab and then reserving the table view for modifying the sim and or aircraft category defaults. The capability (to modify any aircraft config) in the main settings tab already exists in debug code.. just needs to be cleaned up and integrated with the UI more cleanly than it currently is.
Bdoes anyone know the current settings for the 86bfl04 motors?
Bi have a 20v, 300w (15a) psu
So i assume i set the max psu current to 15amp. But i dont know the specs for the motor

THi Everyone, I bought one of the kits and have connected the board to USB and Power. When connecting it I am getting the following message in the device manager
TCheck the USB cable, similar thing happened to me, it was assembled incorrectly. Just make sure you put all the pins in the right spot so you don’t fry anything.

TConfirmed its the USB connector. I had a second set and use the USB connector from there. Everything is working. Do you know where the mistake was on yours? I Compared the ables and everything looks ok
TOn mine, the GND and D- wire positions were switched on the JST plug for the USB dongle. I put the wires in the correct positions and it worked.
SI am planning to build a base. Now I have some nice DIY grips attached to a MS FFB2. Can I use these grips a VPforce base? They have 74HC165N shift registers wired to arduino pro micro with mmjoy software. Can the Rhino FFB software interface with these?
F"the generic grip profile works with CD4021s, up to 4 in series I think, so 32 buttons."
FWalmis sells a shift register board
TI believe you will just need an inverter on the latch/CS of the 74HC165N to make them work like a CD4021 for the VPForce board.
BNvm.
I found it I think.
4 amps per phase.
14 amps rated
38 amps peak.

RSo I am finally getting close to getting my FFB base. I see 2 choices for Grip adapters, Virpil and Winwing. Does anyone know if there is a plain old B8 Style grip that would work? Ideally buying an adapter from Vforce to save time and energy!
SVirpil WarBRD grip is probably your best option for B8 style and doesn't require an adaptor. It doesn't have a paddle lever so if you want that then you need to step up to a higher spec grip or get the VKB KG12 which would require an adaptor. https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-warbrd-grip.html
★ Perfect Match for the VPC WarBRD Base
★ Programmable LED Lighting
★ Available with Optional Lockable All-Metal Twist Axis Mechanism, or with a Fixed Grip Stock
★ Compatible with all VPC Bases

TIs there a way to remove/delete a button press on a Virpil T-50CM2 grip in VPforce Configurator? I'd like to remove the button press on the brake lever so it functions as an axis only.
Nyou could try remapping the the button to something like '99' in the button mapping tab
KHey @walmis I have issue with my WW Adapter (Order Number: 757) I just got today my DYI Rhino, in setup all was working fine, buttons and axis recognized. Then after one ca 40min flight for getting feel of the settings, when I was flaring on landing, suddenly random buttons from my stick were getting activated. I thought that maybe stick and adapter connection got loose but after reseating it, I don't have any response or button/axis recognition. My F-16EX is working fine on Orion 2 base, debug tab shows FFFF (found how to debug grip). I took it apart to check for possible damage or cracks in connection but all is well. One think is that its getting very hot very fast, like 10-15second and I can't touch it...
K
KI've done diode test on 5 pins connector, red point on GND -> checking rest with black point - nothing
Phey m8, Walmis might give you a better answer, but on my WW adapter I needed to push the pins out a little further for a propper connection, not sure if this will help you & obviously it's bettwe to hear from Walmis
WYeah, sounds like something's not right. I'll mail you a replacement electronic board.
