Im having trouble sourcing my own motor as the ones I've found either seem to have the no integrated drivers and they have different specifications than the ones on the vpforce website. Can anyone help me out?

if you plan on using any VPforce software you have to use the VPforce motors Walmis provides

MateiOP•7/27/24, 5:51 PM

well i plan on using the same kind of motors, wouldnt that work?

PiNKSH!T•7/27/24, 5:52 PM

no the vpforce motors have special drivers etc.

MateiOP•7/27/24, 5:52 PM

oh damn

tebinu•7/28/24, 8:43 AM

my Rhino stopped working suddenly this morning. Yesterday, it still worked. I dont hear this beeping sounds anymore when i turn on my computer. I checked if its the powersupply, but i get 24V on that board and also the motors have a green light. Anything else i can debug here?

tebinu•7/28/24, 9:09 AM

what exactly is triggering the beep sound? is it the power supply connected or the usb connected?

tebinu•7/28/24, 9:18 AM

ok problem seems to be the usb cable.. weird that it can just "fail" if though i dont move my joystick

Touch_Of_Legend•7/28/24, 11:43 AM

Yep yep I’ve seen that issue before so great job troubleshooting

I'm on same boat, there are few "drone" charger ones with out of the box XT60, but they are 20V
The best Gold Standard from my understanding in Meanwell 350/24

Xaero Zero•7/28/24, 5:54 PM

Meanwell is good power but big looks ugly and too much power for single unit, but it's best source you can get

Xaero Zero•7/28/24, 5:56 PM

Meanwell LRS 350/24
to be exact

Hey everyone,
The Y-axis motor of my Rhino suddenly died.
USB Connection lost and buzzing noise on USB-Type A connector and USB Hub.
When i unplug the Power connector of the motor, the system comes alive.
Plugging the motor of my other rhino works fine. PCB ok, Motor defective? Any chance to get it back running?

LeLv30_Superbus•7/31/24, 10:03 AM

Cross check by switching to the USB port and

supply of your other

to pin point the problem is inside the other

if you didn't already

[

[OR] SerGeant•7/31/24, 3:35 PM

Already solved. Motor is defective. Another motor works fine in this rhino.
Walmis helped me out.

Stryker990•7/31/24, 7:49 PM

Hi @walmis i require you insight into this: today i did a small opsy and accidentally lowered a height adjustable table onto my rhino (it pressed down on the grip which was on a 200mm extensions and the rhino was off) it was enough force to crack the 3d printed tightening collar on the extension (QR4Rigs Extension) so in response i went back to a sidestick Layout with only the winwingadapter and my F-16EX grip but after calibrating the rhino again it seems the stick has a slight left tendency (wen in the accident the stick was leaned the other direction) im not sure if i broke the rhino or its normal since adding a balance spring doesnt help

Stryker990•7/31/24, 7:55 PM

current settings

amadeus•7/31/24, 7:59 PM

you might need to re-calibrate both your axies?

amadeus•7/31/24, 8:00 PM

but also there could definitely be internal damage on the gimbal

amadeus•7/31/24, 8:00 PM

you can easily unscrew the 4 bolts holding the base of the leather cover, and lift all that up to inspect things inside

amadeus•7/31/24, 8:02 PM

also probably worth seeing if the aluminum bar between the gimbal and grip is bent or something, which you can also inspect by the cover thing above

Stryker990•7/31/24, 8:07 PM

A bit late in the day to do it today but i kinda doubt it because i dont think the bar should be the weakest point in the whole system (not sure but the 3d printed extension should break b4 the bar right?) but then again it could be any of the small Parts that broke in it

amadeus•7/31/24, 8:09 PM

well i wasn't there for the incident, so impossible for me to say, but i think at the vary least, start with a re-calibration of the axis, then if that doesn't fix, do the visual inspection check above, which allows you to see various parts

Stryker990•7/31/24, 8:18 PM

Ah s*** i just thought it wouldnt make any sense that it would have a left tendency since it would have been bend to the right but ive got the rhino currently mounted the other way round compared to when i had the opsy so it is still possible :AkashiSweat:

Stryker990•7/31/24, 8:22 PM

I guess a quick check would be to turn the grip 180° and see if it tilts the other way in case its just the asymetric grip weight

Hiob•8/1/24, 7:23 AM

I don't think there is. It would mess with the FFB I assume.

Dracks•8/1/24, 10:30 AM

I'm a long way from my PC (on vacation!) but from memory I don't think Telemffb handles this (???). Nor the configurator (but I'll have to confirm this with those who have a better memory than me).

Stryker990•8/1/24, 12:58 PM

If i wanna disassemble the winwing adapter i just remove the screws on the face right?

You can use 3rd party tools like Joystick Gremlin

Eraseri•8/1/24, 8:12 PM

@walmis returning to this topic is I have now three Rhinos connected to my PC. The problems are with VPForce configurator. Devices work just fine

Issue:
Joystick & Collective & Pedals connected:

Joystick fails to configure
Collective fails to configure
Pedals CAN configure

If I have any other Rhino connected with Joystick OR Collective, neither of them can be configured. VPForce configurator just crashes. Pedals can be configured in all cases. Separately each device can be configured.

Raven•8/2/24, 9:12 AM

Hello everyone. I have a small issue with my new Rhino (arrived earlier this week):
Every time DCS starts, the Rhino controls in DCS reset to default (including axes that don't exist and all keybinds are cleared). This happens with every module, and only with the Rhino (my Virpil controls work just fine).
This means every time I load a new DCS session I have to load the input profile manually, for each aircraft I want to fly. This is fairly annoying... Is there a way to fix that, please?

Vakarian•8/2/24, 9:21 AM

Do you maybe plug it in the different port every time? It could be worth to check if you get different UUID everytime you plug it in

Raven•8/2/24, 9:22 AM

No, the USB cable is connected to the same hub my other sim peripherals are.

Raven•8/2/24, 9:24 AM

I'll check next time anyway if there is some device ID shenanigans going on, but the cable stays where it is

Vakarian•8/2/24, 9:25 AM

Yeah, I can't think of anything else than UUID getting changed each time. Why it's happening though, I have no clue
