I want to build a custom cooling solution to reduce the noise of the build in fans. So I am looking for a 12v permanent output on the PCB. An option to always on would be nice.

You should put it in the wishlist

On VKB adapter the locating screw diameter is too large to fit into the receiving chamber in the VKB MCG Pro grip for offset. I guess that isn't necessary since the grip can be oriented as desired then tightened down on the base with the adapter's cap. It's hard to believe that the adapter won't loosen under any unintended twisting of the grip though.

Speaking of VKB adaptors ... is there a way to connect that old KG12 grip to the Rhino (black box owned)?

Sure thing, VKB adaptor needs to be connected to a BlackBox, Rhino is not handling the grip. I’m using the same KG12, no issues.

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 9:41 PM

I was rotating the orientation of the base connector, something I see many have done. Any tips on reconnecting this cable again?

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 9:42 PM

I was convinced it would have more slack

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:03 PM

Solved! Never mind. Found the cable entering the stem on one of its sides.

Major_Fault•4/26/24, 10:31 PM

grateful for you taking the time to answer, but maybe I am stoopid or blind. But how do you fix the grip to the adaptor. I understand the need for the blackbox, but physically fixing the stick on top of the extension, how DO I Do that? Because just putting it on top does not hold ... ?

you need the locking nut + bolt from VKB

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:33 PM

it goes in the round hole in the VKB connector

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:34 PM

you can watch their YouTube video on how to connect a grip to Gunfighter for example

Heyhey, i guess the 57blf03 motor wiring from the vpf kit is modified, right? The ones in the kit have 4 cables in total as far as i can see. Vendor Datasheets i found online and in old forum posts show motors with 7 cables.

The motors have a custom (as far as I know) pcb on the back.

Asger•4/27/24, 12:43 AM

Hi, how do you change the orientation of the stick? I don’t think it works either way unless you do something in the Rhino, right? I am using the TM stick

Asger•4/27/24, 7:34 AM

Thanks, although I am not sure I understand. Do I have to unscrew the top part (2 little screws), then just rotate it and screw them again?

AAsger Thanks, although I am not sure I understand. Do I have to unscrew the top part (...

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:35 AM

Yes. And in between fiddle with the cable length if you do not have enough slack to do that. You'll figure it out, a little fiddly but entirely user-doable.

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:36 AM

Careful not to pull much on the connector wires

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:36 AM

Alternatively, many extensions for TMs have just a plain cable in them, which allows you to rotate the grip freely.

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:37 AM

That way there is no risk in changing out the orientation.

Asger•4/27/24, 11:45 AM

Thanks a lot

MaxVonDayGlow•4/27/24, 1:13 PM

As an FYI Virpil sells extensions that use the same M36x2 mounting system as TM and Rhino. The 20cm “S” curve and Z-extension have the cable built in.

NiccoSWE•4/28/24, 7:58 AM

Hi! Just finished my Rhino build. I can't seem to be able to get the auto calibration to stick. I recalibrate but once that is done, it reverts to my previous calibration settings. Anyone got an idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Magpie•4/28/24, 12:35 PM

Asdforce•4/28/24, 6:04 PM

Just to confirm, are you doing exactly as follows?
1. Click "Auto calibrate"
2. Click "Ok" on the pop-up screen
3. Move the stick to full deflection on both axes
4. Click "Auto calibrate" again
5. Click "Store settings"

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:39 PM

Idk why but it didn’t come up with a raw value for the motor so I guess I have some reading to do tomorrow but it’s too late now

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:47 PM

Ah don’t worry, I had to turn the y axis off

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 5:27 PM

I have had my Rhino for a few weeks. It has always felt very weak , so today I have fiddled with every setting that I can tweak and still no joy.....I did open the debug page and there is all of these line items which state: FFB_RemoveEffect (9) and (15) and (16).....So I have probably screwed something up. Can anyone help get me on the right track again?

There should be a default profile to load in the configs directory of the configurator. Also you can take a look at the profile sharing thread in the knowledge base to see how others have set theirs up.

If by weak you mean you want it more stiff at the center, you can tune the spring mapping:
🧰support

Also I recommend importing the default Rhino settings profile from

configs/RHINO-defaults.vpconf

configs/RHINO-defaults.vpconf

file, since all sliders and effects at max will cause instability and motor shutoff.

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:47 PM

@Chuff nope the knob is fully clockwise

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:49 PM

@walmis no, it feels no more stronger than my virpil at present. There is definitely something wrong or mis configured on my part
