A short maybe, or a loose connection?

hexpod•9/2/24, 8:26 PM

Hmmmm. The strange thing is that it occurs only when the board is DC powered.

If the wire is long from the grip to the board it might pickup noise - I recommend using a shielded cable or adding a ferrite choke with a one/few turns

Hi, can someone explain the 3 different DC motors offered on the VPForce website, 57BLF03, 86BLF04 and 86BLF03?
I would like to get single motor and controller to build a collective…..which motor is best for this DIY project. Ta

MMike T Hi, can someone explain the 3 different DC motors offered on the VPForce website...

TheAmazinGreat•9/5/24, 12:23 AM

First two numbers are the dimensions of the motors 57mm vs 86mm. The 86 are bigger motors than the 57 but the 86BLF04 is bigger (longer) than the 86BLF03. Bigger motor means more force.

I think for collective, most people are doing 86 series. 03 would probably be fine but for only 20€ more, you can get the stronger 04 motor kit.

TheAmazinGreat•9/5/24, 12:24 AM

From the FAQ:

What kind of motor are available?
Three types of motors are available:
57BLF03 - 57x101mm - 1.6Nm peak - 1.24kg - NEMA23 [used in the RHINO base]
86BLF03 - 86x81mm - 3.2Nm peak - 2.2kg - NEMA34
86BLF04 - 86x94mm - 4.2Nm peak - 2.75kg - NEMA34

Sageh•9/5/24, 7:43 AM

Has the price of 800 € for the base at some point changed from VAT included to VAT excluded? In February at least an invoice to Finland was 800 €, tax included, but mine just now was 800 €, tax excluded. It's a pretty substantial change.

walmis•9/5/24, 8:02 AM

Yes, since July (mentioned on the order page)

Spelljammer1OP•9/5/24, 8:27 AM

still worth it imho

https://forum.virpil.com/index.php?/topic/21852-advanced-flight-yoke-project-briefing/

tldr Virpil Civil Aviation yoke is a kickstarter project

FFB explicitly mentioned as not being a feature yet and that they are working on it in the future

Force Feedback?
The VIRPIL Advanced Flight Yoke Project will not be an FFB device.

We are still working hard on FFB to provide the best solution available. Our team has noted numerous issues with the implementation of other solutions as confirmed by other active-duty pilots. FFB in flight-sim software is young and we do not want to raise the cost of the device, potentially pushing it out of reach of many pilots for feature implementations that are not quite ready.

We have an FFB industry expert on our team to help us achieve the best, but the best takes time! Backers of the VIRPIL Advanced Flight Yoke Project will receive preferential terms to any future FFB developments in our Civil Aviation controller segment.

bets for how long it will take for someone on this discord to get one, tear it apart and see if they can adapt it for ffb lol
