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

SamNFTYOP•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?

SamNFTYOP•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

I just e stop and don't bother with anything else.
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.

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.

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

Hello. Who can help me with a quick store support issue?

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:11 PM

question. In msfs my forces seem backwards. When the nose pitches up it should be more difficult to pull aft stick. As stick comes back all the force brings the stick back... so it is wrong

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:16 PM

So with reversing those it works but now when I do nose up trim the stick physically moves forward

Hiob•7/2/24, 6:25 PM

Are the axis in the control software moving in correct way?

Hiob•7/2/24, 6:25 PM

If not, invert them there, not in the sim.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:27 PM

yes they are. The big disconnect is between trim being a button and the stick

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:28 PM

I can have forces correct but then trim works right in game but trim force is wrong. If i change the stick force then the forces are backwards but the trim is correct force wise

MMistic yes they are. The big disconnect is between trim being a button and the stick

Number481•7/2/24, 6:42 PM

What aircraft and which sim you are flying is important information. I'll assume DCS. As Hiob said, ensuring the axis view in configurator correctly follows the stick is step 1. In DCS, most aircraft are fine just this way. There are a couple aircraft (the F5 comes to mind) that need to have the FFB inverted on one or more axes in the "FF Tune" options.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:43 PM

MSFS and T6A. I have had this stick for some time in DCS and enjoyed it alot. But yea using tellem in msfs things are just backwards

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:46 PM

in the VPForce configurator, the stick moves the correct way. In MSFS I have the stick forces correct (though it oscillates even turning down gain and such in configurator) but when I move my nose up trim, the nose does come up but the stick moves forward. I just cant wrap my mind around a way to change the force for that.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:49 PM

could it be something in the MSFS code or the T6 code? So In sim I just swapped the hat and trim force is still wrong. Anytime nose trims up the stick always moves forward.

Number481•7/2/24, 6:58 PM

if you hold the trim down, does it initially move the wrong direction and then correct itself or does it continue to move in the wrong direction to the trim stop? It's unlikely that the telemetry is backwards from the aircraft (what drives the feature in TelemFFB) but I suppose its possible. It's more likely that the physical/virtual trim setup in TelemFFB needs some tuning for that aircraft. You can read about how the trim following works in the manual here and there is a procedure at the end of that section for setting it up for a new aircraft. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.hio77pvon5m3 @Mistic
