I have 2 x WW adapters and I have tested them both.. so I am not sure if suddenly both adapters are now dead, or there is something else that is preventing them from working

do you use any extension? I found the virpil extension is a bit finicky. I tried plugging the grip into adapter then straight into base & that worked

ddrake1984OP•6/30/24, 9:52 AM

I normally do, but I just tried without it

ddrake1984OP•6/30/24, 9:52 AM

I'll try again another tiem

@walmis is there a way to see if my winwin adapter is working properly? i suddenly dont get stick inputs anymore but the stick is still working (it works in my winwing base) so i wanna see if its the adapter or the rhino itself

Did you check to confirm that the WW grip is selected in the Configurator? If you load another profile it may have deselected it.

SamNFTY•6/30/24, 3:26 PM

Problem is still occuring. I loaded the RHINO-defaults.vpconf and it's not recognizing the Y axis movment and providing this force.

SamNFTY•6/30/24, 3:27 PM

I reset the device and it's fine

Bozo VFA-86•6/30/24, 4:23 PM

I lose both axis if I run Sim Racing Studio software. It apparently intercepts the telemetry and doesn't share it. Do you have stuff running?

SamNFTY•6/30/24, 9:29 PM

So everytime I use it, I need to do some kind of reset on it. What is the best way to shut her down if I'm also removing USB power? I've been doing the estop first then remove USB power. Could that be causing this?

Bob Bushman•6/30/24, 11:41 PM

I just disconnect the pit hub and and the rhino psu.

I don't beef around with the e stop.

I also us sim racing studio to run my motion setup and when I first got it , it screwed with my racing wheel which ran on simhub , it’s to do with the polling of the com port and either on si m racing studio or simhub ther was a setting to disable polling on particular ports that fixed my issue. Not at PC just now but will try and look later today for actual setting

your y axis motor seems to be working a lot being 22°C hotter than the x. something is going on with your Rhino.

walmis•7/1/24, 9:40 AM

I think somehow the axis position is on the edge of encoder wraparound and it starts in the wrong angle. It's an easy fix, by readjusting the belt.
Basically slip off the Y axis belt, turn the motor pulley so the raw_yraw_y reads something around 2000-2100, center the stick and reattach the belt.
Then run the auto calibrate on both axes. Final calibration values should stay within 0 .. 4096 range.

SamNFTY•7/1/24, 11:02 AM

Hiob•7/1/24, 11:47 AM

@walmis Is there a way to have VP telemetry (raw position, temperature etc.) as an "always on top" window? While running DCS?

Hiob•7/1/24, 12:22 PM

What I found helpful to center the motor for mounting the belt is, deactivate all effects but spring. Set it to 50% by 50% by 100% mastergain and manually enter 0 and 4096 as calibration values, before attaching the belt. That will keep the motor nicely centered while attaching the belt and it can't move by mistake. After that you need to do a proper calibration of course.

Hiob•7/2/24, 11:23 AM

@walmis I got a question I couldn't answer - the motor drivers are built in the bottom of the motors, correct? Are they thermally connected to the metal cover plate? And what exactly does the temperature read-out in the control software refer to? TY

walmis•7/2/24, 11:31 AM

Yes, the transistors are dissipating into the motor case. The temperature readout is measuring average temperature of the motor case / transistors.

walmis•7/2/24, 12:05 PM

Physically the critical temperature is where the magnets start to demagnetize due to the curie temperature. Currently the software starts to ramp down the max force starting from 55C. It reaches equilibrium somewhere at about 60-65C or so.
P=I^2*R is very much at play here. Every amp adds even more heat to dissipate.

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:13 PM

Do you think the coils are hotter or cooler than the transistors? There's probably no way to measure the inners of the motor directly. Would be nice if we could set a custom fan curve. I would like to have the fans running slowly all the time. But I'm already thinking on adding a custom solution for that.

Wwalmis Physically the critical temperature is where the magnets start to demagnetize du...

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:14 PM

That equilibrium is probably with the 80mm stock fan?

walmis•7/2/24, 12:21 PM

Since these motors are inrunners, the coils are directly attached to the case, so it has great heat dissipation. I wouldn't worry much about the coils.
I have custom fan control cooked up for the next release

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:26 PM
