Hi @walmis , I have received a DIY kit and trying to connect everything together. WebUSB connects well and I can move a point (one axis is reversed) but Configurator app says USB: Disconnected and both motors offline. Tried a different cable - no luck. Joystick is detected by Windows once I plug the USB in.

I use Win10, 20V Power is connected
Weird, but I can even bind controls in Condor2 sim to Rhino

I just turned the plug around on the stick not the Rhino base , but that was with thrustmaster, yours maybe different situation.

This method is really good and solved my problem. Now the software is working fine

hey everyone I came across an issue today in DCS Apache (could relate to other modules) with the force trim... what I noticed is if I set an axis tune S curve on the cyclic it messes with the FFB effects when you trim release (set a new trim position). The joystick and ffb want to return your stick to the centre by a small amount, the physical centre not the trimmed position. When I remove the curves within DCS to linear the Rhino and ffb behaves as I would expect with the spring accepting the new centre.... Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Number481•4/3/24, 5:23 PM

it is normal. Axis curves are not compatible with FFB

ty @Number481 that is very useful information

another in a long line of defender sapazzes I guess from praydog UEVR and github trojans its all been a bit of a mess recently ( praydog takes pancake games to VR in openXR) really cool...but I digress... anyone else have this happen ? I've put and exclusion now into defender for the telem location.

Looks like a windows secure update today is now flagging the latest build. Was fine this morning.

Adding an exception for your TelemFFB folder as you did, while less than ideal, is the only real solution….

plehmann•4/4/24, 1:24 AM

cue the influx of why is telem not loading anymore !!

plehmann•4/4/24, 2:54 AM

aaan just saw the same post in general before me

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:07 AM

ok so received my second ffb kit the other day and plugged the ol girl in... for a connectivity test.

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:09 AM

so some ignoirant q's inbound that I've not been able to find in the manual or online... I get that there is a different id to ...well id the controller but no idea how to set this up either from telemffb or onmfigurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:09 AM

I've got the tlemeffb to spawn another isntance of the ffb app

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

but note the error bottom right

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

second controller is seen on com4

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:11 AM

aand motor goes smooth from notchy so motor and board seem to be ok

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:12 AM

though its only connected via the pwr cables so far - shoul there be other connections too between the board and motor.. there was also a 2 pin 'jst' connector for a 485 connection ? arduino?

Number481•4/4/24, 3:14 AM

You need to set it up in configurator with a different usb PID. It will probably be 2055 by default )same as rhino)

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:14 AM

so I'll need to unplug current rhino??

Number481•4/4/24, 3:17 AM

You should see two options when you start configurator, but if they are both 2055, you will only be able to tell them apart by the s/n. Simpler to unplug the rhino probably

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:18 AM

hmmm yes for the online rhino configurator I saw both in the app version I only saw the joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:19 AM

ive unplugged joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

set the ident and pid to 254 apply and store

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

replugged joy in

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

and restarted configurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

and get this

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:25 AM

so it looks like I can only connect to 1 of the ffb's each time and need to pick the one to config

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:28 AM

intersting that windows sees 2 rudders!!

Number481•4/4/24, 3:31 AM

That’s normal. You pick the one you want to configure when you start configurator.

Number481•4/4/24, 3:44 AM

You can start multiple instances of configurator.

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:45 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:48 AM

ok.. I've tried now swapping the moroto data connection between the 2 ports on the board but dont see a x or y readout

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:48 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:50 AM

whereas I get the normal output for the joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:50 AM

Number481•4/4/24, 3:56 AM

If you only have one motor connected you need to disable the unused axis in configurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:56 AM

tada!

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:03 AM

@Number481 thx

so last bit is that there are no spring friction etcx effects that I can see after I've auto calibrated it roughly

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:04 AM

and thinking that the manual could do with some updating in this area- how could I contribute to updating a secion on adding in 2nd ffb to the system

Toddimus•4/4/24, 4:10 AM

I have been thinking the same about the manual. Having written some technical stuff for work and for our Simstrumentation Air Manager instruments, while I don’t like writing, I was thinking I’d contribute to the manual as well… once I get my motor kits. They passed through Prague earlier today.
