compatible of course but wiring problem can be there
P
PokePoke

7/23/24, 1:42 AM
just test it
, if it works okay
, you can just open up extension rod and fix the cable wiring

that
's what i
'm thinking

OP
•
7/23/24, 1:44 AM
i am inclined to think its software or rhino base

7/23/24, 1:44 AM
why don
’t you check windows usb joystick setting
M

OP
•
7/23/24, 1:44 AM
my reasoning is that the twist counts very linearly and smoothly
M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:45 AM
it
's almost as if the value that is counting the twist axis doesnt have a big enough register to store that value
M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:45 AM
so its floating over past 65536 when it should be like 256k or 512k
M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:45 AM
its counting 7 times
, so lets call it it needs 8 times the register
M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:45 AM
thats 524288
, that
's a 512k register
P
PokePoke

7/23/24, 1:46 AM
it sounds strange
P
PokePoke
•
7/23/24, 1:46 AM
the value is way too high
M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:46 AM
so either the rhino software is polling too much on the twist axis for one reason or another
, or the twist grip is sending too much data
, or the rhino counter itself is configured wrong

•
7/23/24, 1:51 AM

M
mattback
OP
•
7/23/24, 1:51 AM
the only thing that gives any output on the twist axis value changing is the VPC VFX
, which is the exact grip i have
P
PokePoke

7/23/24, 1:51 AM

?
P
