Wand follows the P=I^2*R law, so at half the torque it uses only 1/4th the power

HIs that for the 57 or 86 motors?
Wboth are roughly the same
W86 have more Nm/A
HNice, I have that "tiny" PS here from my old Dyadic Actuators 
Will test with them but replace them as the internal fan is annoying.
Will test with them but replace them as the internal fan is annoying.HAh, yeah - I see from the spec sheet. How would the voltage effect these? The big motor could in theory run on 48V. Just go faster? Less waste heat?
HI get that your logic board only support 24V, right?
HI started by using the old PSU from a 3D-printer. It had a fan that would instantly respond to any change in load. Pulling more G = more fan noise. Quite irritating. I then got the Meanwell 350/24 - it is dead silent since then.
WThe voltage rating is KV in essence i.e. how fast it spins per volt, the less KV the more torque per amp. The 86BLF is rated 3000RPM @ 48V for example.
The voltage, at standstill @ max torque, in the windings is something like 3V. So the 48V etc rating is useless if motor is not used for spinning applications.

CDoes the Rhino work in old space combat games such as Descent Freespace 1 and 2 that had force feedback support? I know they were just simple haptic effects such as when firing guns, missiles, or applying after burner, but just curious. Thanks.
Awith anything that old it's a big maybe, but Rhino does support directx ffb
Jdoes the rhino ship with a power supply or I need to supply my own? I have a meanwell UHP 1000w 24V PS that I could use, overkill I know, but silent and I could run both the pedals, the ffb base, and some other stuff off of a single supply I guess.
Jmax output is 42A on the DC side
TYes a power supply is included with the production rhinos
HYou can use that, even though the Rhino comes with one.
VDoes anyone know where I can get a 17° throw limiter?
CMake one or buy one from. Walmis.
Jthat question (throw limiter) opens up some questions for me that I'e been wanting to ask... Let's suppose (for discussion) that I'm trying to replicate the throw of an f18 stick. I think I want to replicate the angular distances that the real f18 stick covers not necessarily replicate the angle that it travels. This is because distance traveled will vary based on the length of the stick to cover the angle. My theory is therefore that the angular distance is more appropriate to replicate than the angle. Using a little math based on real f18 stick specs and the actual length of my own stick I can then replicate the actual throw distance in my simpit by using the appropriate angle throw limiters. Is this the right approach?
Jso back to the f18 example, if the actual aircraft has 3" of travel in each roll direction and my stick is 18" from the pivot to the trigger, then using theta = arc length / radius gives me theta = 3 / 18 (*180/pi to go from radians to degrees) I get 9.5 degrees in each direction as the appropriate roll throw.
BYour approach is the most practical and would be the one i would use based on those constraints (length of stick vs real length of stick). Just be aware that there will still be differences as it ultimately comes down to rotational precision at the gimble. so if your stick has less angular displacement for the same linear throw you will have less precision at the gimble aka it will be more sensitive. and vice versa if you have a greater angular displacement
Bbit it all is a compromise unless you replicate all the dimensions
J@buzzbomb I think part of what you are saying is that if i limit the travel of the stick too much I lose a lot of resolution in the stick position sensor?
Byes
Bi havent finished my coffee so my s'planing skills arent awake yet 
Jtypically that problem would be more likely to occur the longer the stick is... I think mine will be mounted without any extension, so unless the travel of the actual stick is really small (like the f16 is) I should be ok? My guess is that you want to use at least half of the available rhino throw, but I'm open for other opinions on that.
Bit really depends on the geometry and the aircraft. The F16 is an outlier as its a force sensing stick and displacement doesnt really play into the input to the FLCS. Its just there for the pilot's 'feel'
Jagreed, probably bad example in this case. I think the question is how much can you limit the throw of the rhino for a particular aircraft until you lose so much sensor resolution that you've made the aircraft hard to control and/or begin to lose the "feel" of the aircraft
Bthat is likely a personal preference and not really an objective one
Jyeah to make it objective I would have to have experience in the real aircraft, but no matter how often i ask that, the answer is always no! lol
Bim sure there is an objective limit to the rotational sensitivy of the sensor but i cant tell you if you will hate the fell before you reach that limit or not
Bi plan on doing a bunch of GA stuff at first, at least i have some practical experience there
Bunfortunately most of the RW aircraft i have flown regularly with a stick have non-standard setups. The stick is geometry is essentially the same as a yoke. But The Rv-12, and 7 are normal but also really light on the controls. They will be a good comparison test in terms of angular sensitivity
RI started with 11 degree throw limiter for helos and now I’m running a 10-8 throw limiter for helos. Didn’t need as much side to side.
DWith what length of stick?

JAnd more importantly software effects etc.
JEither way great news for flight sim

Bimho software is the single most important part of a FFB/CLS system, that's why im skeptical about WW and Moza's offerings for the forseable future
DWinwing does not have good software, at least to date. Quality issues might also be a problem given the low cost and apparent high power of the unit.
Byep i have two of their throttles, identical models (with different grips). and there are substantial quality difference between them. Their software is Meh, i only use it for calibration. Their customer support is sssllllloooowww and actually had me open up one of the grips and rip a SMD device, a diode, off the pcb to solve a problem.
一well FWIW they do have some experience in making level 5 FTD and they did also claim that the experience has been applied to it ("FAA FAR-PART60 LEVEL 5 Joystick Control Loading (Force) Modeling"). At least they have some advantage on that part if they truthfully honor their words. But yeah it's WW and the price is quite unusually low so we'll have to see..
Also they almost certianly won't support grips from other brands which could be a problem.

Mhi guys, what is the waiting time for this thing to get right now?
SDo you still have the settings you used for that?
HYou mean the Rhino? Best to ask @walmis. Couple of month to short of a year I‘d guess.
*Got and set up my Rhino yesterday... Any suggestions for most impressive sim/plane to showoff FF?
