But then you would lose the ability to adjust FFB effects with a pot, right? Or can another board (I.e. the stick’s board) control effect strength globally?

AndyHill•4/2/24, 7:10 PM

or is there some kind of a simple adapter I can make (I'm assuming the new board has the V2/3 style connector?)

AndyHill•4/2/24, 7:14 PM

In general it might be a good thing to mention about the difference especially if an adapter can't be provided

MashedPotato•4/2/24, 7:52 PM

Those sensors are almost certainly just a digital in/out. The connector in that case would likely just need to be swapped out to match the new style connector to tie in to the rhino pedal board

MashedPotato•4/2/24, 7:53 PM

the pedals will have their own control board, so this is completely separate from your stick and it's pot control

if you set your settings like this, you can do it all in one window. And then click on the logo JOYSTICK to switch

AndyHill•4/2/24, 8:12 PM

it would be helpful if I knew what those connector types were so could try to source some

ToddimusOP•4/2/24, 8:21 PM

Yeah, I get that if you just use the pedals' control board, the brake signals would do what they had always done. I was asking about using the two analog inputs on the VPForce USB board for brakes.

MashedPotato•4/2/24, 8:25 PM

As long as whatever sensor you're using is analogue, sure. Those sensor input points are just looking for a measurable shift in electrical signal (like a pot). If you want to do something more complex, you'd need to setup a shift register or breakout board, and code it to emulate a joystick that the Rhino board can run

ToddimusOP•4/2/24, 8:41 PM

:). I get that too. My specific question was asking whether one could use the pot input on another VPForce board to globally apply FFB effects strength across two or more VPForce boards. So if I used the two analog inputs on my FFB pedals for brake signals, could I use the pot on my stick VPForce board to adjust force strength on the pedals.

MashedPotato•4/2/24, 9:56 PM

Like via a hardware link? You could wire the pot to both boards via mutual connections as long as the pot has the throughput to send signal to both. That would be a super annoying wiring setup though. In software, that should be pretty easy though

ToddimusOP•4/2/24, 9:58 PM

In software.

Duchess ✈•4/2/24, 10:11 PM

Just a quick, general question. I have a TM F-18 grip in the Rhino…. It feels like something is loose in the grip itself, near the base the grip has a tiny, clicking movement. It is not noticeable when going side to sides only fore and aft, right near where the twist collar is. Anyone know how I should tighten it up?

MashedPotato•4/2/24, 10:26 PM

Remove the grip, and repeat the motions with it disconnected, see if anything moves that shouldn't. There's not a lot going on in the base area. Maybe the grounding screw came loose? You can crack the shell and see if anything is loose in it. The TM hornet is much more forgiving than the viper as far as springs and stuff flying out at you

Duchess ✈•4/2/24, 10:28 PM

That is what I thought, there is not a lot going on in that area of the grip. Thanks, I will try that.

mechsicko•4/3/24, 3:28 AM

It's pretty common on Warthog/Cougar for the tailstock to get a little loose. One of the screws is accessible from outside but the other is inside so it needs to be opened up to tighten it and I can see they carried this design over to the F18 grip.

Duchess ✈•4/3/24, 3:37 AM

Thanks!! I shall take a look.

Thoughts on mounting the Rhino to the chair vs the desk? In the context of no fixed cockpit setup, both options would be removable for home office work.

Spelljammer1•4/3/24, 1:03 PM

I fear it will be too heavy for center-chair-mount, more so for swapping out rather than durability.

The trim is a 4 way on the hornet, it's a 5 way on the Eagle, and the switch itself is from Otto is a 5 way
